Colorado Motorcycle Accidents
In 2022, more than 6,000 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes across the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In Colorado, over 140 motorcyclists lost their lives, and many more were seriously injured in crashes across the state. These accidents often result in life-altering consequences, from broken bones and spinal cord damage to traumatic brain injuries and long-term mobility issues.
One of the leading causes of motorcycle accidents is driver negligence, particularly when drivers fail to yield or check blind spots before changing lanes or turning. Distracted driving is a major contributor, whether it’s due to texting, talking on the phone, or simply daydreaming behind the wheel. For motorcyclists, even a small mistake by another driver can have devastating results.
Distracted driving causes more than 400,000 accidents in the U.S. annually, and Colorado is no exception. Notably, the majority of motorcycle crashes in Colorado happen in clear weather, showing that danger exists even in ideal riding conditions.
