Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help
Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.
When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.

Hi Andrea, I'm so sorry for
Hi Andrea, I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother in this awful crash. If you can get a copy of the police collision report for this accident, that will give you some information, like the name and insurance company of all drivers involved, and often will give a description of how the crash occurred. Be aware that sometimes the collision report contains inaccuracies, since it is based on the perceptions of the responding law enforcement officers. You will need to contact whichever law enforcement agency would have responded to the crash. In this case since the crash happened in the county, try contacting the state patrol since the media report states that state troopers responded to the crash.
If you find you have legal questions about the crash once you see the police collision report, consider calling our partner attorney Larry Perry. He's an incredibly effective attorney and can answer your questions.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
