What if he applied the hand brakes and the cable slipped out of the caliper?"

What? On the front and rear brake at the same time?

I believe the poster meant that if he hit both brakes, and the hand brakes worked and the rear didn't, it would cause the rider to flip over the front of the bike, or worse. In other words, one doesn't use the front brakes without using the rear brakes....unless they are very, very careful.

Why blame the lawyer when it was the family who contacted the attorney? I doubt he went to them, or even knew about the accident.

"In other words, one doesn't use the front brakes without using the rear brakes....unless they are very, very careful."

I have ridden bikes and motorcycles for years and years and they are not that sensitive, unless one is going way too fast and one has to do a panic stop. Again, be reasonable. Anything is possible, but some things are more likely than others. Greedy lawyers are a given.


"I doubt he went to them, or even knew about the accident."

Why do you think they call them ambulance chasers? The lawyer probably found out about the accident from the local news media or he has someone in the hospital who gives him a heads up about potentially lucrative cases.
