Abogados de accidentes de motocicleta en Colorado

There are few more beautiful places to take a ride than Colorado. Our breathtaking mountain views and the serpentine roads that get you there are world-renowned among motorcycle enthusiasts. Unfortunately, enjoying our great state on two wheels comes with its own set of dangers and challenges.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, 136 motorcycle riders died in traffic accidents in 2021, making up nearly 20% of the total Colorado motor vehicle fatalities that year. While this was 4 less than the previous year, recent numbers show a steady increase in fatal motorcycle accidents over the last decade.

While it is important to take steps to keep yourself and others safe while you cruise through Colorado, like wearing the appropriate gear and following the rules of the road, accidents happen. That’s where Metier Law Firm comes in.

Contact us today, and we will give you a free consultation about your case and how best to proceed.

Head injuries are the leading cause of death in motorcycle accidents. The NHTSA estimates that wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle can make it 37% more likely you will survive an accident. You are also 3 times as likely to suffer a serious brain injury by not donning the appropriate headgear, so it seems like the logical choice. 

Many states have passed legislation requiring the use of motorcycle helmets by all operators and passengers, but Colorado is not one of them. The law requires people under the age of 18 to be helmeted, and the use of protective eyewear for all motorcyclists, but a properly licensed adult is not required to wear a helmet in this state.

It is in your best interest to wear a DOT-approved helmet any time you hop on your bike. Between our fickle Colorado weather and the ever-present danger of other drivers, a motorcycle crash can happen anywhere and at any time. Whether you choose to wear a helmet or not, if you are the victim of an accident while you are riding, Metier Law firm has your back. Call us today for a free consultation about your motorcycle accident case and how we can help.
