Motorcycle Riding in Colorado

Motorcycle ownership is prevalent in Colorado, with the state ranking in the upper third nationally. The state’s breathtaking scenery and nearly year-round riding opportunities make it a haven for motorcyclists. However, this popularity also means that motorcyclists face numerous risks. In one year alone, Colorado saw over 2,000 motorcycle accidents. Recently, motorcycle fatalities have reached record highs, with over 140 deaths in a single year, including 99 riders and four passengers.

Several factors contribute to the increasing number of fatal motorcycle accidents:

• Reckless Driving: Dangerous driving habits have persisted post-pandemic.
• Distracted Driving: Despite strict laws, drivers continue to use handheld devices.
• Poor Road Conditions: Degraded roads present hazards for motorcyclists.
• Increased Truck Traffic: More large trucks on the road heighten the risk of accidents.
• Drunk Driving: An uptick in drunk driving incidents leads to more accidents and injuries.

Serious Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable in accidents due to the lack of protective barriers. Statistics show that three in four motorcyclists involved in accidents suffer injuries, with about 25% experiencing severe injuries. Common injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Road rash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Lacerations
• Crush injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Death

Legal Action for Motorcycle Accident Victims

Despite taking precautions and using safety equipment, motorcyclists cannot control the actions of other drivers. If you are injured due to another’s negligence, you can hold them accountable with the help of a powerful lawyer.

Proving Negligence

To win a motorcycle accident case, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This involves showing that the other party failed to act as a reasonable driver would under similar circumstances. Lomena Law can help you gather evidence and build a strong claim.

Significant Compensation for Injuries

Successful claims can lead to substantial compensation, covering both economic and non-economic damages such as:

• Medical bills
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death in Motorcycle Accidents

If your loved one died in a motorcycle accident, Colorado law allows families to seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through this challenging process to ensure your family receives the compensation it deserves.

Maximizing Your Compensation

Regardless of the approach, your lawyer will strive to recover the full amount of your damages. Insurance companies often employ tactics to minimize payouts, Lomena Law knows how to counter these strategies and ensure you receive the compensation you need.

FAQs

• Partial Fault: If you are partly at fault, you can still recover compensation as long as your fault is not greater than the defendants’ combined.
• Not Wearing a Helmet: Not wearing a helmet does not prevent compensation but may reduce it if it worsened your injuries.
• Going to Trial: Most cases settle out of court, but a trial is necessary if the insurer denies your claim or offers an inadequate settlement.
