Colorado's scenic routes draw riders from everywhere — but riders face outsized risks and unfair bias after a crash.
Colorado's Riding Risks
Mountain curves, wildlife, gravel, and sudden weather make Colorado riding demanding. Many crashes happen when drivers fail to see or yield to motorcyclists.
Helmet Law and Your Claim
Colorado requires helmets only for riders under 18. While not wearing one is legal for adults, insurers may raise it regarding head-injury damages — an issue an attorney can address.
Overcoming Bias Against Riders
Insurers and juries sometimes assume riders are reckless. Strong evidence of the other driver's fault is the antidote to that bias.
After a Motorcycle Crash
Document everything, get medical care, and don't accept a quick offer. Motorcycle injuries tend to be serious, and early offers rarely reflect their true cost.
