According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 100,000 motorcyclists were injured in traffic accidents in 2007 alone. What is even more shocking is that each year, those numbers continue to increase. Since the majority of these accidents involve a much larger automobile, motorcyclists are already at a significant disadvantage. Injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are more likely to be severe, causing chronic disabilities, life-long pain, suffering and even death.

Motorcyclists are usually not to blame for the majority of these accidents. In fact, other drivers are responsible for almost 70% of all motorcycle accidents. As a result, special cautions need to be taken to ensure that you receive adequate compensation for all medical expenses, rehabilitation and therapies. Colorado is an "at fault" state. In Colorado Springs, this means that the driver who caused the accident is also responsible for any damages, medical expenses and injuries sustained as a result of their negligence.
