Motorcycle Accident

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable on the road — and often more cautious than people realize. But accidents still happen. Many of the cases we handle involve:

• Drivers failing to yield or turn in front of a motorcyclist
• Lane changes without checking blind spots
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Sudden stops and rear-end collisions
• Dooring from parked vehicles
• Poorly maintained roads or debris

Whether you were riding a sport bike, cruiser, or touring bike — if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, we’re here to help.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Are Often Severe

Without the protection of a car frame, motorcycle riders suffer injuries that are often catastrophic or life-changing. We’ve helped clients recover compensation for:

• Road rash and soft tissue injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injuries (even with helmets)
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Amputations
• Emotional trauma and PTSD

These aren’t just physical injuries — they affect your ability to work, live independently, and enjoy life as you once knew it.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If another driver or unsafe condition caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Emergency and ongoing medical care
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Motorcycle repair or replacement
• Long-term disability or home care
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Permanent physical and mental impairment

Motorcycle insurance policies often come with complicated limits and exclusions. We know how to work with (and push back on) insurers to get you the most coverage possible.
