Your Guide to Motorcycle Accident In Boulder
Understanding Motorcycle Accident Claims
Motorcycle crashes often cause serious injuries and emotional turmoil for the people who experience them. As a motorcycle rider, you face different dangers than regular drivers. You’re more exposed and vulnerable and, therefore, more susceptible to serious injuries in crashes. Then, in the aftermath, it can be hard to know who was responsible. In most cases, one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is proving negligence. Negligence occurs when another driver doesn’t use reasonable care, and it triggers an accident that causes harm to someone else.
With years of experience representing injured motorcycle riders, attorney Edward Smith offers personalized and compassionate legal counsel. Call his office at (303) 682-2944 today to schedule a free evaluation of your case.

Ed Smith Attorney
Longmont Colorado
I need to say that Edward Smith is a wonderful attorney. My case was difficult at best, but Ed made the experience easy for me! He fought my insurance company and always kept me informed. When I needed to speak to him he always got back to me immediately. He worked for the insurance companies early in his career so he knows the ins and outs , then uses his knowledge to help his clients. I can’t divulge my settlement or the insurance company. I can tell you he got me much or more than the attorneys that advertise on television. I can’t say enough good about him! I recommend him highly.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
How long do I have to file a claim?

What types of damages can I recover?
Can I still file a case if I am partially liable for the crash?
