Commentary on Joshua Stearns Car Accident in San Antonio
When it comes to car accidents, people think that authorities just check cell phones, how fast cars were going, if alcohol or drugs were involved, etc. That's true, but that's hardly everything a proper investigation is going to cover. Even seemingly unlikely things like mechanical issues, poor road design, faulty seatbelts and airbags, and other such details can also contribute to people's injuries.
Unfortunately, catching that sort of thing almost always requires more thorough independent investigations. Police usually have a lot on their plate, and without their departments giving them the time or equipment they need, they're going to miss something important. Especially when there are serious injuries, it's important people learn about these potential barriers and what can be done to overcome them.
