Many residents of the Bradenton-Sarasota area have been impacted by the death of local police chief who lost his life while on vacation last month. While the cause of death appears to be entirely accidental, not every motorcycle accident is without blame, which is why victims should consult with a motorcycle accident attorney if they suffer injury.

Prior to becoming police chief of Longboat Key, he had been a patrol officer in Sarasota, an undercover agent on the narcotics team, a member of the SWAT team, Chief of Police in Bradenton, and had even served a term as Mayor of Sarasota. The accident has elicited many tributes, comments, and memories regarding his life, and though many residents of Bradenton and Sarasota were familiar with his notable career, it was his love of fast speeds, whether on a boat, motorcycle, or a race car that those close to him remember as his ardent passion.

Sadly, it was that same passion that led to the accident that lead to his death. He was riding his motorcycle in North Carolina with companions when he hit a piece of wood that was on the road. It was that piece of wood that caused ...
... the Chief to skid off the road and hit a tree. Although he was not traveling at a high rate of speed and was wearing a motorcycle helmet and leathers, emergency responders were unable to revive him following the accident.

The Chief’s motorcycle accident serves as a tragic reminder of the dangers facing cyclists every day. Although he lost control of his bike because of the object in the roadway, it is often the perils presented by other drivers on the road that cause a majority of motorcycle accidents. Because of the weight ratio of the vehicles involved whenever a motorcycle accident involves a car or truck, the rider is especially vulnerable to serious injury or even death.

Because a motorcycle accident can result in such catastrophic consequences for the rider, anyone who is injured in a Bradenton motorcycle accident in which another driver or someone else appears to be at fault should consult with a Bradenton motorcycle accident attorney.
