You have been in a car accident with serious injuries. In these cases, the investigation includes the drivers, their vehicles, the roadway, and other environmental factors including weather and visibility. The goal of this broad approach is to develop a more complete picture of the crash and its potential causes.

Issues that investigations uncover are varied. For example, one driver may have been weaving or driving recklessly. Was this a pattern of driving behavior for this person? Are there existing medical conditions that were improperly managed that contributed to his poor driving? The goal is to determine what factors contributed to an unsafe driver being behind the wheel of the car.

The investigation will similarly look at the vehicles involved for issues such as defective vehicle design or non-functioning safety devices. Defective vehicle design, for example, can cause the original collision as well as worsen or enhance the injuries that occur in an accident. We know that defective vehicles make their way onto the roads and often cause serious accidents.

Your crash investigation will also look at the roadway itself. Is there proper signage to inform and guide drivers? Is the road properly maintained, with safe areas for pulling over in the case of emergencies? For example improper maintenance of road shoulders creates a dangerous hazard for all motorists.

When you have been in a serious accident, the crash investigation will be exhaustive and thorough. Your financial settlement may rest on key information uncovered in such an investigation. At Florida Trial MD, we value the investigative process and consider it an essential aspect of our pursuit of the highest monetary settlement or jury award for our clients.
