Did a Defective Product Cause Last Week's Motorcycle Fatality?
Jim McNeil, a famed and experienced motorcycle stunt rider, died last weekend during a practice run prior to his performance at Fort Worth’s Texas Motor Speedway.
Although some observers initially assumed that driver error or the inherent danger of trick riding caused the accident, people familiar with the fatal accident broke their silence earlier this week, suggesting that mechanical failure – specifically, engine trouble – may have caused the tragic wreck. The fact that Mr. McNeil came up short of his landing zone corroborates this theory.

Is riding a motorcycle dangerous? You bet. Every time a motorcycle rider gets behind his hog, crotch rocket, or chopper, he knows that he’s riding with his life in his hands. And he knows he’s responsible for the risk.
However, a motorcycle driver isn’t responsible for mechanical failures associated with a defective product. Motorcycle manufactures should provide consumers with a motorcycle that’s fit for the purpose for which it was purchased. A defective engine, bent handlebars, leaky gas tank or any number of flaws may make your ride unnecessarily – and inappropriately – dangerous. If that’s the case, you should give the committed legal professionals at Fears | Nachawati a call immediately.
