Frequently Asked Questions about Motorcycle Accident & Injury Claims

How do I know if I can file a motorcycle accident & injury lawsuit?
If you sustained serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, and you believe another person to be responsible for causing the accident, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.  An attorney from our firm will speak with you about the circumstances of your accident and will be able to give you a better idea of what exactly can be done in your situation.

How is it determined who is responsible for causing a motorcycle accident?
Your lawyer will perform a thorough examination of the evidence in your case, including police reports, accident site photos, property damage, medical reports, and witness testimony, and will gather any important information or expert opinion to help determine liability in a motorcycle accident. 

What happens if I was partially responsible for causing the accident?
Even in cases where both parties are somewhat responsible for causing a motorcycle accident, a claim can still be filed if someone is injured.  Sometimes one person can hold more responsibility for causing the accident than the other, and in these cases it will have to be determined who should provide compensation to who.  Even if you feel you were partially responsible for causing the accident, you should speak with a Boulder personal injury attorney before you give up on filing a lawsuit. 

What are the most common causes of motorcycle accident injuries in Boulder?
Almost all injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are from being thrown off of the bike.  Being thrown from the motorcycle leaves riders susceptible to other vehicles and the pavement, and usually results in blunt force trauma injuries.  There are many different types of injuries that result from motorcycle accidents, and you may be entitled to receive compensation with the help of an attorney.
