Commentary on Valentine Junior Carrasco Car Accident in Martin County
People often think of car wrecks as simple matters of finding who had the right-of-way, who was speeding, and who was on their phone. Those are all important factors, of course, but there are other possible factors that more experienced investigators can look into which authorities often overlook. Were there mechanical issues? Did airbags and seatbelts work properly? Is this stretch of road notoriously in need of maintenance or additional signage or lighting? Were any other vehicles involved that may have left the scene? These are just a few important questions to ask, but it's important to ensure investigators are taking these steps and getting clear answers.
