If the crash was investigated by accident reconstruction trained police, the lawyers only buy the reports and have their retired accident reconstruction police read them and come to the same conclusion most of the time. Retired fire and crash expert cops are highly paid by many insurance companies. The few I know make more money just reading the reports than the years they investigated and wrote the reports when they were cops.
What happens to anyone who is found careless or negligent in a police crash report is nothing compared to the civil lawsuits. You may wish you were in jail than go thru a whole civil trial. In jail you get a roof over your head, a bed, food and free health care. Maybe even a job making license plates.
What happens to you when someone wants everything you earned and owned? Reality is they likely will not get it all, but you life will not be the same.
Mtofell I get what your saying, but poor decisions can lead to some strong life changing events. I have seen it, many co workers have seen it.
