 Colorado Motorcycle
Accident Attorney - Information
Did you know that motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of death between
6-33 year olds in the United States? It is true. More than 3,000
cyclists are killed each year. Many others are seriously
injured, disabled and undergo serious life changes as a result of their collision. Because motorcycles are light weight and offer little to no protection, collisions
often result in fatalities. Because motorcycle riders are not easily seen
by SUVs, cars and trucks, they are
easily sideswiped. Sometimes a rider can be forced into a spinout
or fatal crash without the at-fault driver even realizing it.
It's extremely important for those involved in a motorcycle
accident to contact an experienced lawyer in order
to recover costs for injury, distress, loss of wages,
medical expenses, and other damages caused as a result
of the motorcycle accident. It is also important to
take certain steps immediately following the accident
if possible:
- Remain at the scene of the accident, if possible
- Call the police immediately or
have someone call the police for you
- File a police report as soon
as the officers arrive
- Seek immediate medical attention,
even if you think you are not injured. You may
have injuries that will come to light later.
- Get the license number, personal
and insurance details, and name of the other driver
involved.
- Ask for the details of any witnesses
present at the accident scene.
- Seek legal assistance as soon
as possible.
Wearing a motorcycle helmet lowers the
risk of fatal injury by 29 percent and reduces the risk
of traumatic brain injury
by 67 percent.
