How Colorado’s Fault Rules Affect Your Motorcycle Claim
After a crash, insurers look for any reason to reduce what they pay, and motorcyclists are a common target. Bias against riders is real, and defense attorneys use it to shift blame and limit liability. Colorado’s modified comparative negligence standard under C.R.S. § 13-21-111 means that a rider found more than 50% at fault can’t recover damages. Even a finding of 30% fault cuts your recovery by nearly a third.
Our team has a thorough understanding of insurance and contract law, and we use that knowledge to push back on fault arguments that don’t hold up. We prepare every claim as if it could go to trial, and our familiarity with Denver-area courts and opposing counsel shapes how we build your case from the start.

The Risk Landscape for Denver Motorcyclists
Colorado recorded 165 motorcyclist deaths in 2024, the highest annual total on record and a 57% increase since 2015. Motorcycles make up roughly 3% of registered vehicles in the state but account for nearly 24% of statewide traffic fatalities. The gap between exposure and protection is wide, and when crashes happen, the injuries are often catastrophic.
Colorado requires motorcyclists to carry minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $15,000 for property damage. Those minimums are frequently insufficient to cover serious injuries. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can help address that gap when the at-fault driver carries little or no insurance.
Compensation Available After a Motorcycle Crash
We can help injured riders pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Colorado also allows recovery for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, though the state caps those amounts at limits adjusted periodically for inflation. In fatal crashes, a wrongful death claim may be available to surviving family members.
