One of my primary concerns following any motorcycle wreck is whether it's going to get the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, a lot of people are biased against riders, and this can lead to hasty and incomplete investigations. This is why it's sometimes important to follow up with authorities early on and ask some key questions.

Did the authorities dedicate enough time, tools, and resources to the investigation?
Motorcycle crashes are often more complex than they appear, especially when another vehicle’s sudden movement is involved. Investigators should have carefully documented the lane positions, vehicle paths, and evidence of braking or evasive action. If the scene wasn’t fully reconstructed, critical details about how the crash occurred may have been missed.

Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
When a vehicle reportedly makes an unsafe lane change, it’s fair to ask whether that action was truly driver error—or if something went wrong with the vehicle itself. A steering issue, mirror blind spot sensor failure, or sudden loss of control could contribute to a lane drift. Without inspecting the Chevy Equinox, these possibilities can’t be ruled out.

Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Modern vehicles store key information—steering input, speed, and brake use—that can help clarify what happened in the moments leading up to the crash. In a case involving a lane change and a fatal injury, that data could be essential for understanding whether the driver reacted or failed to respond altogether.

Motorcycle wrecks are too often brushed aside, but that doesn’t excuse incomplete investigations. By following up with authorities, families can decide if they'd feel better having unbiased, independent investigators look into their situation.

Takeaways:

• Motorcycle crashes involving other vehicles need full scene reconstruction.
• Mechanical issues in the vehicle that triggered the collision should be ruled out.
• Onboard vehicle data may confirm or challenge initial assumptions about fault.
