As per the report, it appears that the driver will be held solely responsible for causing the crash and, ultimately, the death of James Morse. This decision will be reinforced by the fact that police discovered the motorist had been consuming alcohol prior to driving. Nevertheless, law enforcement will investigate if additional factors like speeding and negligence played a role here.

If authorities take this course of action, the family of the motorcyclist will have legal rights to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the guilty party. By seeking legal assistance, these individuals can receive compensation for a variety of issues including excessive medical bills or tragic loss.
