Motorcycle Accidents Happen In The Blink Of An Eye - Don't Get Injured Twice
Motorcycle accidents can have a devastating impact on the victim and the victim's family, both physically and economically. Motorcycle accidents often cause catastrophic injuries because of the limited protection afforded to the driver and passenger. When an accident occurs between the motorcyclist and another vehicle, the motorcyclist is at a huge disadvantage. This vulnerability commonly leads to serious injuries including traumatic brain injury, paralysis, broken bones, severe road rash or even death. Motorcycle riders and passengers can face long periods of recovery from their injuries following the accident resulting in significant lost income.
If you have been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident or if you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, you need to contact Edward Smith, an experienced Colorado motorcycle accidents lawyer. We go to work immediately to protect your rights and recover damages for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, permanent impairment, disfigurement and other damages while you focus on recovering from your injuries. If you need help with medical treatment as a result of your motorcycle accident, we have motorcycle accident lawyers serving in Boulder, Longmont, Frederick, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Loveland, Broomfield, Ft. Lupton, and Berthoud, Colorado that can help. We have doctors and other medical providers we work with so that you can get the medical attention you need even if you don't have insurance.
As a former Colorado insurance company attorney, Edward Smith understands that insurance companies often try to blame the motorcycle driver. They ignore the fact that the most common cause of motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles is the failure of the other driver to detect and recognize the motorcycle. Statistics show that in two-thirds of the motorcycle accidents involving multiple vehicles, it is the driver of the other vehicle that takes the motorcyclists' right-of-way and causes the accident. Insurance company attorneys work hard to reduce your claim. Don't get injured twice.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, per vehicle mile traveled in 2005, motorcyclists were about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 8 times more likely to be injured.
In 2006, motorcyclists accounted for 11 percent of total traffic fatalities, 13 percent of all occupant fatalities, and 4 percent of all occupants injured.
In 2006, there were 2,226 two-vehicle fatal crashes involving a motorcycle and another type of vehicle. In 40 percent (883) of these crashes the other vehicle was turning left while the motorcycle was going straight, passing, or overtaking the vehicle. Both vehicles were going straight in 582 crashes (26%).

You can see from the statistics above that motorcyclists, despite obeying the law, are far more likely to be involved in an accident than automobile drivers. More importantly, when an accident does occur, the rider and passenger are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Chances are that if you're reading this information you or someone you know has already been involved in a motorcycle accident. In addition to the aggressive representation of motorcycle crash victims, our law firm promotes motorcycle accident avoidance and safety.
