After any motorcycle accident, it’s important to ensure investigations are prioritizing evidence and putting aside bias. That may sound obvious to say, but I’ve handled cases where authorities saw someone on a motorcycle, assumed they were being reckless, and jumped to conclusions without actually digging into the facts. A lot of people unfortunately share this bias, and it can be important that families are able to anticipate and overcome that bias so they can be sure the victim’s side of the story is being told fairly. Did that ever happen here?
