Are you saying the scenario you describe was wrong somehow? If a guy on a motorcycle destroyed my property, I’d sue too. I’d also make sure the person was alive and ok when the accident happened. Being concerned about the condition of a human being at the time of the accident doesn’t make the liability go away.

No, I am saying I agree with Ecclesiastes: For everything its own time. At the accident scene it is time to help the injured rider (for this spill, it is time to plug the dang thing up and do what we can to protect the environment).
But after the rider is taken to the hospital and on the mend, it’s time to discuss who is at fault and how everything will be made right (for the spill, after the hole is plugged and the environmental damage is contained, it is time to discuss cause, responsibility and legal ramifications)
It will get very, VERY ugly.
I would want him healthy and able to pay
