Immediately after a motorcycle crash, we go to the scene, we look at the skid
marks, and we look for the debris. Usually there's taillights and there's blinkers, maybe a
license plate. Depending upon where that stuff ends up, we can make a
determination with an accident reconstructionist as to how the accident
actually happened. Did the car pull in front of the motorcycle, did the car
swerve in front of the motorcycle that way.
There's all kinds of things that could be understood just from the physical
evidence alone
and we always like to secure the motorcycle as well so we can take very
specific
detailed close up photos
of the motorcycle.
We look at the brake lights we look at the turn signals,
the filament inside the light has been stretched that's called hotshot
that's usually an indication that
that light break or blinker was on at the time of the crash.
It's just another piece of evidence that helps us when
trying to determine how the crash occurred.
