It was really unfortunate that a motorcyclist collided with a pickup truck at the intersection of Curlew and Fisher Roads near Dunedin & died on the spot. But such motorcycle accidents keep on increasing these days. And the impact of such incidents are high incase the motorcyclist is not wearing a helmet. Even in more severe conditions he is more likely to die. These accidents are scary & dangerous. When you are in an accident involving a motorcycle, a scary situation is made even worse. So it would be better to consult a professional personal injury attorney who will lead to successful compensation claims.
