Realistically, education is what is going to cut through the crap. There are way too many political irons in this fire to achieve a solution that way, and while there are some insurance-related concessions that I personally would consider acceptable, that is a really slippery slope.
In cases like this one, I wonder if the survivors think he was killed by riding a motorcycle or by not wearing appropriate protection. There will probably be some well-meaning friend who assures the widow, "He would have died either way" thus driving a spike through the education angle.
A neighbor's friend was killed in a MC crash some years ago. She said, "He did just what they told him to do and laid it down, but he still died." She wasn't a rider; there was no point pursuing it.
