As straight-forward as these preliminary reports may seem, it’s important to consider potential challenges following any serious crash. That’s especially true with motorcycle wrecks.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are biased against riders, and insurance companies know this. That means telling the victims’ side of the story fairly can present significant challenges.
As usual, though, the best answer is having as much evidence as possible. Unfair biases can only go so far when there are clear facts telling the story. That’s why preliminary reports like these likely just scratch the surface.
