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 is when a motorcycle crashes into another vehicle or object. These accidents can be serious because motorcycles offer less protection than cars or trucks, often leading to severe injuries.
What Do I Need to Do to Receive Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident?
To get compensation, you need to show that someone else was at fault. This usually means proving they were “negligent” or careless. In Colorado, here are the steps to prove negligence:
- Duty: The other driver had a duty to be careful on the road.
- Breach: They broke that duty by driving recklessly, speeding, or being distracted.
- Causation: This carelessness caused your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered damages, like medical bills and lost wages, because of the accident.
In Colorado, we also consider “contributory negligence.” This means if you were partly at fault, your compensation may be reduced. Our attorneys can explain how this affects your case.
Liability: Who Is Responsible for My Injuries?
The driver who caused the accident is often responsible for your injuries. Sometimes, other parties, like the motorcycle manufacturer or a city that didn’t repair the road, may also be at fault. Our attorneys will investigate all possible causes to find who is responsible.
Damages: What Compensation Can I Receive in a Motorcycle Accident Case?
If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you may get money to help cover:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages if you missed work
- Pain and suffering
- Costs for any future care you might need
What Are the Potential Sources of Recovery?
Compensation can come from several sources, including:

At Jordan Law, we treat every case like it is going to trial as that ensures that we’re ready if we need to take that step. Our team has extensive trial experience which is something that many firms cannot say for themselves.

If the at-fault party is uninsured, you may be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
How Long Will My Motorcycle Case Take?
The timeline for a motorcycle accident case varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years.
How Soon After a Greenwood Village Accident Should I Call an Attorney?
It’s best to contact a motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Early legal intervention can help preserve evidence and protect your rights. Know that the insurance company is putting together their defense immediately after the accident, so it’s important that we get started on your case asap.
