Questions About Motorcycle Accident Claims
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
What makes motorcycle accidents different from auto accidents?
Primarily the injury and fatality rates. Because motorcyclists are less visible to other drivers and less protected from the force of impact, they not just more likely to be hit, but more likely to be seriously injured in an accident.
What can I do to protect myself as a motorcyclist?
The two most important things you can do are to wear a helmet and be aware of your surroundings. Helmets reduce the chances of head injury, which is a leading cause of death and serious injury in motorcycle accidents. It is especially important for motorcyclists to stay aware of their surroundings, and watch for unusual movements, because many drivers have difficulty seeing motorcycles on the road.
What should I do if I've been in an accident?
First, seek immediate medical attention. Even if you think you're OK, you may have serious internal injuries that could prove debilitating or even fatal if not treated promptly. Second, gather all the information you can about the accident as soon as possible. Try to get the names and contact information for witnesses and identify everyone involved in the accident. Do not sign anything or agree to any arrangements with other drivers or with insurance companies-even your own-before consulting an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer who can represent your interests.
