Accident Causes
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost half of all motorcycle accidents are collisions with cars and trucks. These accidents can happen in many ways, including:
- Vehicles turning suddenly in front of motorcycles
- Vehicles passing motorcycles
- Vehicles pulling out in front of motorcycles, causing the rider to lay the bike down
- Hit and run accidents
- Distracted driving (including talking or texting on a cell phone)
Texting while driving is against the law in Colorado. If this was the primary cause for a vehicle to hit you, you may be able to recover additional punitive damages.
Motorcycle Collision Injuries
A bike crash that is caused by collision with another vehicle usually causes very serious injuries. These can include:
- Head injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Broken bones and amputations
A serious injury may lead to a lifetime of pain, disability and disfigurement. It may cause wrongful death. The accident victim and his or her family will face enormous medical bills, especially if long-term care is required. They will also need compensation for lost income.

Our goal is to recover the compensation you need to heal and move on. To make an appointment, please call 303-731-6254 or send us an e-mail.
