Commentary
Causation is an integral part of negligence lawsuits. Cases like this are always interesting because on the surface of the story there is no apparent reason why someone would lose control of their vehicle; it leaves open a whole host of possible causes of how the accident could have happened.
This is also why at the start of a case the initial investigation is very important. Witness must be interviewed while their memories are still fresh and measurements of the accident scene should be taken in order to create a re-creation of what actually happened.
