Commentary
Unfortunately, many people are biased against motorcyclists. Ask people what their opinion of them is, and you’ll hear a lot of talk about speeding down the highway and cutting people off. Obviously, not all motorcyclists are like that, however, it is a prejudice they sometimes find themselves having to overcome. Because of this, having the evidence to prove liability in an accident in always going to be extremely helpful. Witness statements and any surveillance footage that may have been recorded are going to help paint a picture of what happened in the moments leading up to an accident. Evidence can obviously make or break an accident case like this, so it’s importance really can’t be overstated.
