Colorado Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcyclists have almost nothing protecting them in a crash — no door, no airbag, no steel frame. That is part of why motorcycle deaths accounted for roughly a quarter of all Colorado traffic deaths in 2024, despite motorcycles representing a small fraction of vehicles on the road.

Insurance companies are often quick to blame the rider, assuming bias before the facts are even reviewed. As a motorcycle injury law firm, Mile High Legal builds motorcycle accident cases on real evidence — crash reconstruction, witness statements, and traffic camera footage where available — to counter that bias and hold negligent drivers accountable.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado

• Left-turn crashes — drivers turning across traffic frequently misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or fail to see it at all.
• Lane changes without checking blind spots — motorcycles can disappear into a car’s blind spot more easily than a full-size vehicle.
• Following too closely — rear-end collisions are especially dangerous for riders.
• Road hazards — potholes, gravel, and poor lane markings pose a much greater risk to a motorcycle than a car.
• Impaired or distracted driving — the same risk factors behind car accidents are often magnified for riders.

What Compensation Can Cover

• Medical expenses, including trauma care and long-term rehabilitation
• Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Motorcycle and gear replacement or repair
• Costs associated with permanent disability in the most severe cases

What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Colorado

• Get medical attention immediately, even for injuries that seem minor at first.
• Photograph the scene, your motorcycle, gear, and any visible injuries.
• Get witness contact information — independent accounts matter even more in motorcycle cases, where bias against riders is common.
• Avoid discussing fault with the other driver’s insurer before speaking with a motorcycle accident attorney.

Why Choose Mile High Legal

Motorcycle accident cases require an attorney who will push back on insurer bias with real evidence, not accept a lowball number because a rider was on two wheels instead of four. We work on contingency and are prepared to take a case to trial when that is what it takes to get a fair result.
