Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

While I can’t comment on the specifics surrounding this accident without more available evidence, there is always an inherent concern when it comes to motorcycle wrecks. They don’t always get the attention they deserve because people are inclined to just assume the motorcyclist did something wrong. Obviously, people make mistakes, but it’s important to avoid jumping to conclusions. The evidence should be allowed to speak for itself, if only to help ensure that the victims and families involved in the accident know that they’re getting the whole story. Whether or not those steps are being taken here remains to be seen.
