Commentary on Semi-Truck Accident on Highway 12 in Burbank
This soon after a commercial truck wreck, it's not unusual for there to be so few details available. They can be incredibly chaotic--especially when there's a fire involved. But whether or not authorities have the tools and experience to sort through all of that chaos is a challenge victims and families need to be aware of. After all, getting people as much evidence as possible is crucial for getting them the help they need.

That's why I tend to rely on independent investigators rather than waiting around for the authorities. Whether those efforts align with police findings or bring to light issues the police didn't have the means to properly investigate, getting the full story needs to be a priority.
