Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

When it comes to motorcycle accidents, my concern is whether or not authorities gave the accident proper attention. The unfortunate reality is a lot of folks are biased against motorcyclists, so they may jump to conclusions rather than letting the evidence speak for itself. This can lead to incomplete stories or outright false conclusions. Were authorities more careful here to focus on the facts, or would independent investigations show that they missed something important?
