Overcoming the Stigma of Being A Biker
“There’s also a bit of a stigma that goes along with these cases where you see some of those younger guys flying around on the highway and suddenly every rider is that person in your mind. It plays into the biases that people have that motorcyclist are taking these crazy risks when really most do not and they have just as much right to be on roadway as anyone else.”

What Is a Motorcycle Accident?
A motorcycle accident includes collisions with cars, trucks, pedestrians or miscellaneous objects. Motorcycle accidents can be extremely serious because motorcycles don’t have the same protection as cars.
What Do I Need to Do to Receive Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident?
To receive compensation for your injuries and damages, you need to show that someone else was responsible for the accident. This means they made an error or acted carelessly, causing the accident. In legal terms, we call this negligence.
Negligence and the Relevant Legal Elements
Negligence is a legal word that means someone did not act as carefully as they should have. There are a few important parts to negligence:
- Duty: The person who caused the accident had a duty, or responsibility, to be careful.
- Breach: They broke this duty by not being careful.
- Causation: This carelessness caused the accident.
- Damages: The accident caused injuries or damage.
In Colorado, there is something called contributory negligence. This means if you were partly at fault for the accident, you might still get some money, but less than if the other party was 100% responsible.
Who Is Responsible for My Injuries?
The person or company who caused the accident is usually responsible for paying for your injuries. This could be another driver, a company, or even the city if the roads were bad.
What Compensation Can I Receive in a Motorcycle Accident Case?
Compensation means the money you receive to help with your injuries and losses. In a motorcycle accident, you might get money for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages if you can’t work
- Pain and suffering
- Damage to your motorcycle
What Are the Potential Sources of Recovery?
After a motorcycle accident, there are different ways to get money for your injuries:
- The other driver’s insurance
- Your own insurance, if you have it
- The company that made your motorcycle, if it was broken
Common Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents can cause many types of injuries, such as:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Cuts and bruises
- Road rash (when skin scrapes against the road)
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can happen for many reasons, including:
- Other drivers not seeing the motorcycle
- Bad weather
- Potholes or bad roads

Frequently Asked Truck Accident Questions
What’s my case worth?
Every case is different. That’s why we offer free case evaluations. We can tell you more after we learn about your accident. Call our office or fill out a form to get started.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle without going to court. However, it’s important that you hire a law firm that has experience taking cases to trial. You might be surprised to learn that many do not.
It’s important that your attorney has experience in the courtroom for two reasons:
- If your case has to go to trial, you want an experienced trial attorney. If you have a lawyer who only settles cases, that attorney will likely look to bring on another attorney to take the case to court. This is not always ideal, especially if the case hasn’t been prepared for trial from the start.
- The insurance companies know which law firms will take cases to court and this incentivizes the insurance company to settle the case more quickly and for more money.
What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?
If the at-fault party does not have insurance you may be able to file a claim against your own insurance company. This is possible if your insurance policy includes “uninsured motorist coverage.” This can also apply if you are the victim of a hit-and-run.
How long will my case take?
This depends on the case. Some cases only take several months, and others can take years to resolve if they need to go to court. Scheduling a free consult with our team will allow us to give you a better idea how long your case might take.
How soon after the accident should I call an attorney?
Call us right away. The sooner we start, the better we can help you. Know that the insurance company has already started working on their side of the case and the statute of limitations (the time you have to bring a case) has already begun.
