How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to motorcycle accidents, people are quick to assume that driver error is the cause. I’ve been in this line of business for over three decades, though; I feel like motorcyclists, in general, get a bad rap. I’ve seen plenty of similar accidents over the years in which evidence of causes that went against the grain of the stereotype ended up being unearthed by the investigation. That is why I’m slow to jump to conclusions.
By the way, I’m not implying that I know more about this specific accident than anyone else outside of the investigation. I just want to point out that, hypothetically, something could have gone wrong with the motorcycle to cause the accident. Motorcycles, while smaller than passenger vehicles, are still complex machines. Any number of things—steering issues, brake failure, tire blowout, throttle problems, et cetera—could have happened to lead to the collision.
An in-depth vehicle inspection done by a trained professional in a laboratory setting would be able to bring to light any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that might otherwise have flown under the radar. Hopefully the authorities get one done, even if they aren’t routine in most accident investigations. If they don’t take that step, though, then a third party investigation can always do so, instead. That way all the bases are covered. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve an understanding of not only how it occurred, but why. Surface-level investigation just can’t provide that kind of clarity.
