What Should I Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Denver?
Motorcycle accidents can be deadly. Victims who survive face serious and often catastrophic injuries. What you do after the accident happens plays a role in your ability to recover damages owed to you. When possible, follow these steps.
- Call 911 immediately and move out of the way, such as to the side of the road. Do not leave the area. Tell the dispatcher about your injuries and follow their instructions.
- Communicate with the other driver. That includes offering help, if you can, getting their name and contact information, taking a photo of their driver’s license, and getting a photo of their insurance information.
- Answer the police’s questions. Be accurate and honest. Do not volunteer information or make speculations about what you think occurred.
- Take photos of the accident scene and the surrounding area. That includes any damage to your vehicle and the other driver’s car. Then, take photos of your injuries, debris, and road conditions.
- Get medical care immediately. Do not wait to get medical care, but instead head to the ER. You may not know what all of your injuries are just yet.
After you take these steps and are stable, contact our Denver motorcycle accident attorney. The sooner you contact us, the faster we can work to preserve evidence and start building your case. We can handle the insurance company for you.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado
Motorcycle accidents can occur in many ways, but most are the result of another driver’s negligence at the end of the day. Some of the most common causes include:
- Drivers failing to yield the right of way
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Aggressive maneuvers
- Unsafe lane changes
- Drunk driving
- Opening car doors into the path of oncoming motorcycles (“dooring”)
- Hazardous weather conditions
- Defective parts
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and so any accident has the potential to result in life-altering injuries. If this has happened to you, you deserve all of the compensation you may be entitled to under state law.
Colorado’s Modified Comparative Negligence Laws
It’s common for insurance companies to try to shift blame onto injured motorcyclists after an accident, whether or not it’s appropriate to do so. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence law that may apply to your case, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you’re less than 50% responsible.
However, your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 30% at fault and are awarded $300,000, you would still receive $210,000.
Our Denver personal injury attorneys can help you respond to any allegations of shared fault appropriately, aiming to maintain the full value of your claim as best as possible.
What Types of Recoverable Damages Can I Receive?
Victims of a motorcycle accident in Denver can file a claim for any losses documented. Your Denver motorcycle accident attorney will go over the implications to your health, mental well-being, and financial health. Some of the losses typically applicable in a motorcycle accident claim include:
- Medical bills from the emergency
- Hospitalizations, recovery, and rehabilitation needs
- Lost wages from not being able to work
- Loss of earning capacity if you cannot continue to work due to your injuries
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Property damage to repair or replace your motorcycle
- Future expected medical costs associated with your injuries
- Pain and suffering related to the accident and your recovery process
- Emotional trauma-related losses
- Loss of quality of life
It is critical to understand the extent of your injuries in these cases. Victims of motorcycle accidents often face a lifetime of complications and struggles, including paralysis, chronic pain, and emotional loss from post-traumatic stress disorder. You have the legal right to pursue financial recovery of these losses. Your attorney will gather data to value each of these claims and provide you with comprehensive support in determining both your current and future losses.
How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Colorado
In accidents related to negligence, as noted under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102(1), you have two years from the date of that injury to file a lawsuit in a court of law for your losses. Property damage claims have a longer period of time, three years. If you wait beyond this timeframe, you cannot recover damages.
Your Denver motorcycle accident attorney will work closely with you to settle your case out of court, which is typically far less expensive and time-consuming. However, in serious cases or denials by insurance companies, it becomes essential to seek legal action through a lawsuit. We must do that within the statute of limitations.
