Commentary on Fatal Car Accident on NW Freeway at W. 34th in Houston
People tend to think car accidents are simple because they happen so often. In reality, though, they can be incredibly complex. Part of the reason for that, however, is that authorities can often jump to conclusions due to how common certain factors are. Simply put, the most likely explanation is usually that someone was distracted, speeding, or intoxicated. But things like mechanical issues, missing signage or faulty signals, medical conditions, tire blowouts, and other such factors, while relatively unlikely, also warrant attention. Like with many accidents families have come to me with over the years, getting answers here could mean seeking out professionals who will ensure those possibilities get the proper attention.
