A total of 134 motorcycle deaths happened on roadways throughout Colorado in 2023. Motorcyclists who were killed often leave devastated loved ones behind. Sadly, many more motorcycle riders were also hurt in collisions that same year, as motorcyclists face unique risks on the road due to the smaller size of their vehicle and the limited protection it offers.
At Daniels & Scriven, P.C., our attorneys work hard to help motorcycle crash victims hold drivers accountable for harming them. We bring more than 50 years of personal injury experience to the table and have helped vehicle accident victims recover millions in compensation.

When Can You Make A Motorcycle Accident Claim?
After a motorcycle collision, you have three years to make your claim. Under Colorado law, this time limit applies to incidents involving a motor vehicle. If you delay beyond the allowed time, you won’t be allowed to make your case.
Colorado also has a “50% bar” rule when it comes to personal injury claims. You can seek compensation if your responsibility for the accident is less than 50%. If you are found partially at fault, the courts will reduce your final award by that percentage. For example, if the other driver was 90% to blame, you’d be compensated for 90% of your losses. However, if your fault reaches 50% or more, you are not eligible for recovery.
Do You Have A Motorcycle Accident Case?
You may have a case if your share of the fault in the accident is less than the combined fault of all other parties involved. This usually means proving that your injuries resulted from someone else’s negligence. For example, you may have a claim if the accident occurred because a driver opened a door or made an illegal, sudden lane change while you were legally filtering through stopped traffic.
Every driver has a duty to behave safely on the road, so you’d have to show the other motorist failed to live up to that obligation by behaving less safely than an average, reasonable driver would have. You’ll also have to show that their actions were the direct cause of the accident and the damages you suffered because of it.
Types Of Motorcycle Accident Cases We Handle
Motorcycle accidents often involve complex physics and unique road laws. Our Denver motorcycle accident attorneys at Daniels & Scriven, P.C., represent riders injured in:
- Left-turn collisions
- Intersection crashes
- Rear-end strikes
- Impaired driving cases

Our lawyers will investigate the specific details and legal nuances of your case. No matter how your accident occurred, we will focus on proving liability and securing the resources you need for a full recovery.
Compensation For A Denver Motorcycle Accident Claim
Because motorcycles offer minimal protection, crash injuries are often severe. If you have been hurt, you have the right to seek a recovery that addresses the full scope of your losses. At Daniels & Scriven, P.C., our attorneys will advocate for compensation that can cover:
- All past and future medical treatment, including surgeries and rehabilitation
- Reimbursement for missed work and loss of future earning power
- The repair or replacement of your motorcycle, helmet and safety gear
- Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress and lost quality of life
Colorado law puts a limit on compensation for noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering. However, it is important to note that medical bills, lost wages and physical impairment are not subject to these limits. Our motorcycle accident lawyers will help you navigate these boundaries to ensure your claim reflects the true cost of your recovery.
