Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
In my experience, people are often a little too quick to decide a single-vehicle accident—particularly one involving a motorcycle—was somehow the operator’s fault. I won’t say that driver error is never a factor in accidents, but it’s often blamed before investigators can look more closely. What if there’s actually more to the story? Was the motorcycle in good repair? Was the rider in good health? What were road, weather, and visibility conditions like at the time? Was there anyone else around, even they weren’t directly involved? Could any other factors, common or uncommon, have influenced or caused the crash?
I’m not saying I know more than police about what happened, but I think most would agree that investigators should do everything they can to find the whole truth. The victim’s loved ones deserve no less, so I hope before all is said and done that’s what authorities bring them.
