Your Claim as a Motorcycle Passenger
McCormick & Murphy are Lone Tree motorcycle passenger lawyers for passengers hurt when another driver hit the motorcycle. We file in Douglas County Justice Center.
If you were riding as a passenger on a motorcycle near Lincoln Avenue, Yosemite Street, or C-470 and another driver caused the crash, you generally have a negligence claim against that driver. You did not control the motorcycle, and the other driver's conduct on the road is the focus of that claim.
Depending on the facts, you may also have a claim involving the motorcycle operator if the operator's own negligence contributed to the crash. This is not automatic in every case, and it is not true that a passenger can never bring a claim involving the rider. What matters is how the operator handled the bike and whether that played a role in causing your injuries.
Accepting a ride does not bar you from pursuing a claim. We look at the full picture, including the other driver's actions and the operator's actions, to identify every path to recovery available to you.
Evidence We Look For
Passenger injury cases often turn on how and where the passenger was thrown or positioned during impact, so we look closely at the scene, the bike's final resting position, and any physical evidence along Highlands Ranch or Parker roadways near where the crash occurred. Photos, witness accounts, and the responding officer's report all help establish what actually happened.
Because passengers can suffer road rash, fractures, or head injury from being thrown clear of the bike, we also gather medical records tied to treatment, including any care received at HCA HealthONE Sky Ridge. These records document the nature and extent of your injuries and connect them to the crash itself.
- Get medical care and follow up on all treatment
- Keep copies of medical records and bills
- Write down what you remember about the ride and the crash
- Save contact information for any witnesses
- Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with us

Lone Tree Motorcycle Passenger Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Lone Tree motorcycle passenger lawyers after a crash?
Call Lone Tree motorcycle passenger lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is in Denver, CO.
Can I sue the driver who hit the motorcycle if I was a passenger?
Yes, in most cases a passenger has a negligence claim against the driver who caused the crash. That driver's actions are usually the central issue in a passenger's case.
Can I also bring a claim involving the motorcycle operator?
It depends on the facts. If the operator's own negligence contributed to the crash, a claim involving the operator may be possible, but this is not true in every situation.
Does accepting a ride mean I can't file a claim?
No. Simply riding as a passenger does not prevent you from pursuing a claim for your injuries.
