Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
My concern with vehicles like motorcycles and dirt bikes is people may be negatively biased and jump to conclusions. It’s always best to gather as much evidence as possible and to let the facts speak for themselves. A few key questions can help ensure that happens.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Collisions involving motorcycles or dirt bikes require precise scene work—angle of impact, speed estimates, and the actions of both parties leading up to the crash. Was there a proper reconstruction to determine who had the right of way and whether either vehicle had time to avoid the collision? Without that, the full picture remains incomplete.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
While rare, mechanical issues in either vehicle—like faulty brakes or delayed throttle response—could have contributed. With motorcycles, even a minor failure can lead to major consequences. A full inspection of both the dirt bike and the pickup is necessary to rule out equipment malfunction.
3. Has all the electronic data, cell phone records, and nearby camera footage been collected?
Data from the pickup could show speed and braking, and nearby businesses or traffic cameras may have caught the moment of impact. Cell phone records might reveal if distraction played a role and may also yield GPS data.
If these questions are being looked into, that’s a positive sign the victim’s loved ones will get the answers they deserve. If not, then it may take another set of eyes looking things over to ensure nothing important slips through the cracks.
Takeaways:
- Fatal crashes demand precise and extensive scene analysis to determine cause.
- Mechanical issues in either vehicle should always be ruled out through inspection.
- Vehicle data, phone use, and camera footage can help clarify what really happened.
