Colorado Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents continue to be a serious concern throughout Denver, where growing traffic congestion, ongoing construction, and a mix of distracted or aggressive drivers create dangerous conditions for riders. As the city expands and roadways like I-25, Colfax Avenue, and Federal Boulevard see increasing volumes of vehicles each day, motorcyclists remain especially vulnerable to injury in the event of a crash. Sadly, many of these incidents result in life-altering injuries—or worse—and could have been prevented.
Unlike drivers in enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists have little protection in a collision. Even at low speeds, a crash can lead to devastating outcomes, including broken bones, spinal trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and long-term disability. In many cases, these accidents are caused by drivers who fail to yield, make unsafe lane changes, or simply don’t see a motorcycle on the road until it’s too late.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Denver, you know how quickly life can change. Hospital stays, surgeries, time away from work, and the emotional toll of recovery can be overwhelming—and insurance companies aren’t always willing to pay what’s fair.
