Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists can be considered divisive amongst the public. General commuters may perceive motorcyclists as a nuisance due to the maneuverability, speed, and noise associated with motorcycles. Indeed, motorcycles are associated with thrill-seeking and can be dangerous as they are absent of a protective enclosure or airbags. However, even the most responsible motorcyclists are challenged with negligent drivers that increase the likelihood of significant injury during a crash.

If you have sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Our motorcycle injury lawyers have the necessary experience in Colorado law, including these incident types:

Distracted driving accidents

When drivers text, talk on the phone, or are otherwise distracted, they can cause devastating motorcycle accidents. We hold them accountable.

Improper Lane Change

Merging without a signal or checking blind spots can lead to serious motorcycle crashes. We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve.

Road rage & Aggressive Driving incidents

Reckless behavior behind the wheel can have tragic consequences for vulnerable motorcycle riders. Let us handle the legal battle while you recover.

Rear-End Collisions

Broken Bones and Fractures

Motorcycle crashes often result in broken bones, especially in the legs, arms, and ribs. These injuries can require surgery, extensive rehabilitation, and may leave lasting pain and limitations.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Muscle strains, sprains, and road rash are common in motorcycle accidents. While they may seem minor, these injuries can be incredibly painful and take significant time to heal.

Nerve or Spinal Damage

Motorcycle accidents can cause severe nerve damage, leading to numbness, weakness, and chronic pain. Spinal cord injuries can be life-altering, resulting in paralysis and permanent disability.

Head Injuries

Helmets are crucial, but motorcycle accidents can still cause serious head injuries, including concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and skull fractures. These injuries can have lasting consequences for cognitive function, memory, and emotional well-being.

Shoulder Dislocations

The force of a motorcycle accident can dislocate the shoulder, a painful injury requiring medical attention to restore joint stability. Rehabilitation is often necessary to regain full range of motion.

Damage to Internal Organs

Blunt force trauma from a motorcycle accident can damage internal organs like the spleen, liver, or kidneys. These injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical intervention.

Disfigurement and Scars

Motorcycle accidents can leave permanent scarring and disfigurement. Our attorneys can help recover compensation for the emotional toll of these injuries.

Long-Term Injuries

Many motorcycle accident victims face long-term health challenges like chronic pain, limited mobility, and ongoing medical needs. We fight to secure compensation for the full scope of your injuries, both present and future.

How does my insurance work in a motorcycle accident?

It depends on your coverage. The mandatory minimum insurance requirements for motorcycles in Colorado is very limited. Medical payments coverage may help with medical bills, but can be rare for motorcycle policies. Collision covers your motorcycle repairs. Comprehensive covers non-crash events (theft, weather). PIP can cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault, if your policy was issued in another state.In addition, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage applies to bodily injury claims. Check your policy details or contact your insurer for specifics. An attorney can help navigate insurance complexities.

Can I use car insurance if I was in a motorcycle accident?

While car insurance typically doesn’t cover your property damage for motorcycle accidents, other household automobile coverages can help with bodily injury claims which can often be catastrophic. This includes uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage.In addition, PIP on your car insurance might offer some medical expense coverage regardless of the vehicle. Consult your insurer and contact our firm free of charge to understand your options.

What if I was not wearing a helmet in a motorcycle accident?

Colorado doesn’t require helmets, but not wearing one might affect your claim. The other party could argue it worsened your injuries, reducing your compensation. A lawyer can advise you on the impact and fight for fair compensation regardless of helmet use.
