Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado
Colorado continues to see a high number of motorcycle crashes every year, especially in urban areas like Denver. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, motorcyclists are involved in less than 3% of total crashes but account for over 20% of all traffic fatalities in the state.
Understanding the risks riders face helps highlight the importance of safety and awareness. Below are some of the key concerns related to motorcycle accidents:
- Lack of Protection in a Crash: Unlike drivers in passenger vehicles, motorcyclists have no external frame to absorb impact. Even with protective gear, they remain highly vulnerable in any collision, often resulting in more severe injuries.
- Difficulty Being Seen by Other Drivers: Due to their smaller size, motorcycles are frequently overlooked in mirrors or blind spots. Many crashes occur when a driver changes lanes or turns without seeing an approaching motorcyclist.
- Greater Impact of Road Hazards: Potholes, debris, wet pavement, or uneven road surfaces can pose a serious threat to motorcycles. Conditions that might be minor for cars can cause a motorcyclist to lose control.
- Common Injuries Among Riders: Motorcycle accidents often lead to traumatic brain injuries, road rash, broken limbs, or spinal damage. Recovery times are often long, with some victims facing lifelong complications.
- Driver Negligence and Distraction: A significant number of motorcycle crashes result from drivers failing to yield, following too closely, or being distracted. These mistakes can have life-altering consequences for riders.
