One of my main concerns with motorcycle wrecks is people tend to jump to conclusions. Even authorities can have a negative bias, and that makes it more challenging to be sure the victim’s loved ones are getting all the facts. Sometimes, authorities will be able to provide clear answers and show they’ve taken the investigations seriously. But I’ve worked with many families who felt the answers weren’t adding up, so they reasonably wanted another set of eyes looking things over.
It’s too early to tell if this is one of those situations, but it’s a good reason for folks to follow up with the authorities. That way, they can gauge if they feel like authorities are getting the full story or rather making hasty assumptions without considering the evidence.
