Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a motorcycle crash happens without another vehicle involved, the public often assumes it must’ve been rider error. But that mindset can overlook serious factors that only a deeper investigation can uncover—especially when the outcome includes major injuries.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Motorcycle crashes at night demand a detailed look at the scene. Did investigators examine the bike’s path, tire marks, or signs of evasive maneuvers? Was there an effort to determine if the rider lost control, overcorrected, or tried to avoid something? Without those details, conclusions are based more on assumption than evidence. Unfortunately, single-vehicle motorcycle crashes often receive minimal analysis unless someone insists on more.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are mechanically sound when properly maintained, but a sudden brake lockup, steering issue, or suspension failure can send a rider into a curb without warning. These kinds of problems may not be obvious from a quick visual check. If no qualified mechanic reviewed the motorcycle after the crash, a critical mechanical failure may never be identified.
3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Motorcycles don’t always record crash data like passenger vehicles do, but other sources—like helmet cams, GPS logs, and phone data—might still tell part of the story. If a device captured speed, direction, or braking patterns, that evidence could be key to understanding what led up to the crash. But that kind of data is time-sensitive and often disappears if no one takes steps to preserve it quickly.
Crashes involving riders should never be written off as “just another mistake” without a closer look. When serious injuries are involved, every possible angle needs to be considered to make sure nothing important gets missed.
Takeaways:
- Nighttime motorcycle crashes deserve full scene analysis, not assumptions.
- Mechanical failures can cause sudden loss of control and are easy to overlook.
- GPS, camera, and phone data may clarify what happened—if secured promptly.
