If you’re in a crash, taking the right steps immediately afterward can help you get the medical care you need and protect your right to seek compensation. We recommend:

• Make sure you’re safe. If you’re in the middle of the road, make sure you move away from the scene of the crash. You especially want to avoid any leaking gasoline or other fluids. These crashes can easily turn into pile ups if other drivers aren’t paying attention.
• Report the accident. Call the Boulder Police Department—depending on the severity of the crash, you may call 911 or call the non-emergency line.
• Exchange contact information. Make sure that you get the other driver’s contact and insurance information before either of you leave the scene. You should also provide your information.
• Take photos. Take photos of the crash, your injuries, both vehicles, and identifying landmarks to prove where the crash happened. You may also want to take a short video that covers the entire area.
• Get checked out by a doctor. Local facilities like Boulder Medical Center, ZoomCare, and Foothills Hospital can get you the prompt care you need. Injuries can become very serious very quickly, so make this a priority.
• Contact a Boulder motorcycle accident lawyer. Your next step is to contact Colorado Accident Attorneys. We’ll help you explore your legal options and start your personal injury claim.

Motorcyclists are much more likely to endure severe injuries than occupants of passenger vehicles. If you can prove that the other party caused the crash that led to your injuries, you may be able to demand compensation from their insurance company. This involves proving liability and thoroughly documenting the extent of your injuries and their effect on your life. If you are successful in these efforts, you may receive compensation for:

• Medical expenses, including mileage for trips to and from appointments
• Future medical expenses if your injuries will require lifelong care
• Lost income
• Lost future income if you are permanently unable to work as a result of your injuries
• Pain and suffering
• Disability
• Disfigurement
• Emotional trauma
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage

Your outcome depends on how strong your case is and which lawyer you choose for your motorcycle accident claim.

Working with Colorado Accident Attorneys gives you access to some of the area’s most committed and aggressive lawyers. We have seen motorcycle accident victims like you get taken advantage of by insurance companies, and we are determined to protect our clients from that type of mistreatment. Insurance adjusters do whatever it takes to deny you fair compensation after a crash. This is their job and their way of protecting their bottom line.

By sorting through the evidence and proving the other party’s liability, we’ll force the insurance company to negotiate fairly and without the delay tactics. If they refuse, we are ready to go to court and fight for you there.
