Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado
Motorcyclists face extreme risks on Colorado’s busy highways and city streets. Intersections and interchanges like I-70 and Federal Boulevard see frequent crashes when drivers fail to notice bikes, speed through traffic, or change lanes without warning. With little protection, riders often suffer catastrophic injuries, including broken bones, spinal damage, and head trauma.
The leading causes of motorcycle accidents in Colorado include:
- Driver Inattention: Many motorists fail to check blind spots or misjudge a rider’s speed.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and worsens the impact of a crash.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Sudden moves into a motorcycle’s path often cause deadly collisions.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs remain major factors in serious wrecks.
Recovering from a severe motorcycle crash is long and expensive. Victims often face weeks in the hospital, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and time away from work. The financial burden can be crushing.
