People might simply see reports about a motorcycle apparently rear-ending a semi-truck and figure this is all open-and-shut. It’s important, though, that the evidence is able to speak for itself. I had a case a while back with similar preliminary reports, and it turned out that those initial reports were mistaken.
Basically, a family came to us after their loved one was in a motorcycle accident involving a commercial truck. The police said a witness saw the victim speeding and weaving through traffic, but the family knew the victim was a very cautious driver. They wanted a second opinion, and our independent investigations brought the real story to light.
The witness authorities based the reports on was just as confused about the reports as the family. They never said the motorcyclist was speeding or being reckless. All they told the investigating officer was the motorcycle passed them on the left. The officer—who was an inexperienced rookie—let his own bias of motorcyclists twist the facts, and he ultimately filed an inaccurate report. It was only after our investigations that the authorities fixed the errors and set the record straight.
I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but that’s why it’s always important for a family to know what the evidence says. If authorities can show their investigations are based on verified facts, it can be a significant weight off the family’s shoulders. But if it turns out they never bothered digging into those facts, there might be more to the story.
