Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
There can be inherent challenges with motorcycle wrecks considering a lot of people are automatically biased against riders. This can cause investigations to run into snags they otherwise wouldn't with careful, unbiased analysis. It can be crucial, then, to actively keep up with what authorities have been looking into.
Did investigators take the time and use the right tools to fully analyze the crash? Motorcycle accidents often require careful reconstruction, but if authorities made assumptions about fault instead of gathering all available evidence, key details may have been missed. Did they properly document vehicle positioning, sightlines, and traffic conditions?
Did they consider whether a vehicle defect played a role? A mechanical failure—such as brake malfunctions, steering issues, or tire blowouts—could have contributed to the crash. Additionally, if the riders’ helmets or safety gear failed to provide proper protection, injuries may have been more severe than necessary. Were the motorcycles and the SUV thoroughly inspected before critical evidence was lost?
Did they secure all available electronic evidence? Modern vehicles and motorcycles may store key data on speed, braking, and other inputs before impact. GPS records, cellphone activity, and traffic or security camera footage could provide further insight into the crash. Did authorities work to preserve this information before it was lost?
These questions can help victims and families gauge if their situation is being handled to their needs and expectations. If they're satisfied with the answers authorities give, it's likely investigations are being handled properly. If the answers come up short, it may be that there needs to be a second set of eyes looking things over.
