Metier Law Firm, LLC is proud to provide SafeRider® accident investigation and legal services for our clients.
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, 149 motorcycle riders died in traffic accidents in 2022. This makes up nearly 20% of the total Colorado motor vehicle fatalities that year. This was 22 more than the previous year, and recent numbers show a general increase in fatal motorcycle accidents over the last decade.
While you cruise through Colorado, it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected. Accidents happen, even to the most cautious drivers. That’s where Metier Law Firm comes in.
Our team of Colorado motorcycle accident lawyers is made up of experienced attorneys, Colorado residents, and motorcycle enthusiasts. We all have firsthand knowledge of how to pursue this type of personal injury case.

Experienced riders know that riding a motorcycle is not the same as driving a car. Modern cars come equipped with advanced safety features that would be difficult or even dangerous to include on a motorbike.
Plus, the smaller frame of a motorcycle may make it more maneuverable, but it also makes you less visible to other motorists.
So why do motorcycle accidents happen in Colorado? Some causes of motorcycle crashes may include:
Speeding (by the rider or other drivers)
Failure to follow traffic regulations
Poor road conditions/ weather
Intoxication
Improper maintenance
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 helmets for people under 18, and all riders must wear protective eyewear. However, 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. Colorado's unpredictable weather and the constant risk of distracted drivers can turn any ride into a dangerous situation.
If you are the victim of a motorcycle accident while riding, Metier Law Firm has your back. Call us today for a free consultation about your case and how we can help.

Lacerations like road rash

Colorado law does not require you to have a lawyer represent you in order to file a personal injury claim for a motorcycle accident, but it is a good idea in most cases.
If the facts are clear and the damages minor, it may be feasible to reach a settlement or receive a favorable judgment on your own. However, since motorcycle injuries tend to be more severe, hiring a knowledgeable personal injury attorney is important. We can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Laws concerning the operation of a motorcycle can vary widely from state to state, and not every lawyer has the same skills. This makes it very important to find a motorcycle accident law firm that has seen these types of claims before. A motorcycle accident is different than a car accident or truck accident, and it requires a different approach to successfully file a claim.

Many motorcycle accident claims are brought by riders who were injured in single-bike accidents.
