Motorcycle Accidents
Colorado Springs Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Cars and trucks are required to share the road with smaller vehicles such as motorcycles, and if you've been injured while riding a motorcycle, it is no excuse for the other driver to say he or she didn't see you. If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, you are entitled to damages.

Attuned to Motorcyclists' Special Concerns
While motorcycle and scooter crashes involve many of the same considerations as car accidents, there are a number of unique issues affecting accidents involving a motorcycle, including the following:
- Motorcycle riders are less protected than other motorists are which often leads to injuries that are more serious for motorcyclists than for other drivers involved in a bike accident. If you are involved in bike crash, contact a Colorado Springs motorcycle accident lawyer with experience negotiating and litigating cases involving serious, long-term injuries for motorcyclists.
- Motorcycle insurance and auto insurance often "stack." If you own a motorcycle and a car, your car insurance may offer medical payments coverage for your motorcycle accident injuries. If you do not own a car, you may be covered by the auto insurance of someone else in your household. Lee K. Rosenbuam is a Colorado Springs motorcycle accident lawyer who is knowledgeable about the different kinds of insurance and can sort out these issues to get you the compensation you deserve.
- Many motorcycles are customized with features like chrome, saddlebags and other improvements. If your vehicle is wrecked, an insurance company may only offer you the blue book value of the vehicle, even if your motorcycle would have sold for much more before the accident. Our bike crash attorney will get a skilled assessment to make the case for full compensation for your losses.
Ensuring Your Transportation Needs Are Met
Although, in the past, motorcycles have often been treated like a recreational vehicle, Americans are increasingly relying on more fuel-efficient motorcycles and scooters to meet their work, school and other day-to-day transportation needs.
Personal injury law treats motorcycles just like any other vehicle, so if you rely on your motorcycle, you are entitled to compensation for a rental car while your bike is being repaired or replaced.
