At Ramos Law, you will have the security of knowing we have helped countless clients following a motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle Crash Injuries
The injuries motorcyclists can suffer from in a crash can be life-changing. When the contest is between a three-ton car and a much smaller bike, unfortunately, the motorcyclist will almost always come out on the losing end.
The most common motorcycle injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Brain trauma
- Head injuries
- Paralysis
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue damage
- Ongoing back and neck pain
Even a relatively minor motorcycle accident could result in a lifetime of pain and suffering, along with thousands of dollars in medical bills.
Motorcycle Fatal Crash Statistics
Motorcycle riders are surrounded by much larger vehicles on the road, and that size mismatch could make even a relatively minor accident deadly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that there were 4,985 motorcycle fatalities in 2018.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) reported that from 2012 to 2018, motorcyclist fatalities increased 30%. In 2018, motorcyclist fatalities were nearly 16% of all traffic fatalities in Colorado despite the fact that motorcycles represent just 3% of the vehicles on our roads. At the end of the day, both riders and drivers must work together to make the roads safer for everyone.
Alcohol-related Fatalities
According to CDOT, nearly 60 people in Colorado are arrested for impaired driving each day. The irresponsibility and recklessness of Colorado drivers can result in devastating wrecks. The point at which people are deemed to be impaired (whether the person feels or appears intoxicated) is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08. Yet, despite these thresholds, drunk drivers continue to be responsible for thousands of deaths across the country.
In the NHTSA 2018 report, there were 1,295 alcohol-impaired drivers involved in fatal automobile crashes.
In Colorado, there were:
- 632 auto accident fatalities
- 188 alcohol-related fatalities

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
In Colorado, only riders under the age of 17 are required legally to use a helmet. Even if you weren’t wearing a helmet, you still have the legal right to seek compensation for your injuries. However, the insurance company may attempt to lower your compensation simply because you were not wearing a helmet. Therefore, it is all the more crucial that you have a qualified lawyer on your side.
Can I make a claim if my accident was a result of a defect or foreign substance on the road?
Oil spills, Potholes, gravel, as well as other foreign objects, can all cause a motorcycle accident, regardless of how experienced the rider might be. If the road defect or foreign substance is the fault of the city, county, or state, you might l have a shorter period to file this type of claim. Therefore, it is essential that you speak to a Colorado motorcycle accident lawyer as quickly as possible after an accident to help you determine who is at fault for the accident.
Can I still make a claim if I was without a motorcycle license during the time of my accident?
The fact that you didn’t have a motorcycle license during the time of your accident does not prevent you from making a claim.
How can a Colorado motorcycle accident attorney help me?
A skilled motorcycle injury attorney can help you recover the compensation you deserve. Don’t wait – evidence could be lost and witnesses may forget crucial facts. Any delay could weaken your case and lower your opportunity to be fairly compensated. At Ramos Law, we have the resources to launch a prompt investigation.
