What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycle accidents can be caused by several factors, from poor weather conditions to defective motorcycle parts. In many cases, however, motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of other motorists on the road.
In and around Aurora, that negligence often shows up in familiar ways, such as drivers making unsafe left turns across East Colfax Avenue or changing lanes too quickly on I-225 without checking blind spots for riders. Heavy commuter traffic, construction zones, and distractions like cell phones increase the chances that a driver will overlook a smaller vehicle. When we investigate a crash, we look closely at where it happened, what the traffic patterns are like in that area, and whether conditions such as lighting, road design, or temporary lane closures may have contributed to the collision.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Distracted driving: When motorists take their eyes and minds off the road, they are much more likely to cause an accident. This is especially true when they are not looking out for motorcycles.
- Drunk driving: Alcohol and drug impairment can severely impact a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle and avoid collisions. Sadly, many motorcyclists are hit by drunk drivers.
- Defective motorcycles or motorcycle parts: If a motorcycle or any of its parts are defective, the rider may lose control and crash. In such cases, the manufacturer and distributor may be liable for the resulting damages.
- Unsafe road conditions: If a road is not properly maintained or designed, it can be dangerous, especially for motorcyclists. In such cases, the government agency responsible for maintaining the road may be liable for the resulting damages.
- Negligent motorists: When drivers fail to follow the rules of the road, they can cause serious accidents. This includes failing to yield the right of way, running red lights and stop signs, speeding, and more.

How Long Do I Have To File A Motorcycle Accident Claim In Colorado?In most situations, you have two years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado. This deadline is called the statute of limitations, and missing it can prevent you from bringing your claim to court. Certain circumstances, such as claims involving a government entity, may have shorter notice requirements. Speaking with an attorney as soon as you can after a crash helps make sure important time limits are identified and met.
-
Do I Have To Go To Court For My Motorcycle Accident Case?Many motorcycle accident cases are resolved through insurance negotiations rather than a trial. Whether your case goes to court depends on factors such as how clearly fault can be proven, the amount of available insurance coverage, and whether the insurance company is willing to offer a fair settlement. If a lawsuit is filed in a local court, such as Arapahoe County District Court, the case may still settle before it reaches a jury.
-
What Should I Bring To My Initial Consultation?For an initial meeting, it is helpful to bring any documents you already have, such as the accident report, medical records, medical bills, photographs, and correspondence from insurance companies. You should also have a list of the health care providers you have seen and information about your employment and lost time from work. If you do not have all of this information yet, you can still schedule a consultation, and additional records can be collected later with your permission.
