Commentary:
This accident is going to depend heavily on a number of factors. Just from what I see, if the victim was merging onto the roadway at the time of the accident, I’m curious as to which of the vehicles had the right-of-way, and if this stretch of road was supposed to yield to the victim. If so, there could be a claim against the offending driver. On the other hand, if the motorcyclist cut blindly into the path of the other driver, there may have been nothing the driver could have done to avoid the crash, either way, I’d need more details to say for sure.
