Your call will be taken by an attorney who will listen to your story and then advise you about your case.

The number of motorcycle fatalities is on the rise in Colorado. According to data from the Colorado Department of Transportation, fatalities from motorcycle crashes represent nearly 20 percent of total vehicular fatalities. The majority of motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets, therefore it comes as no surprise that head injuries are the most common cause of death. Speed is involved in about a third of all motorcycle crashes.
