Rear-End Motorcycle Crashes On Manitou Avenue And U.S. Highway 24
McCormick & Murphy are Manitou Springs rear-end motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a following driver hit the motorcycle. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
When a driver strikes a motorcycle from behind, that driver may have been following too closely, distracted, or slow to brake as traffic stacked up near Manitou Avenue or on U.S. Highway 24. That does not mean the rear driver is automatically at fault. We look at the full picture before drawing conclusions about liability.
Traffic on Manitou Avenue and Ruxton Avenue can bunch up quickly, especially where visitors are moving in and out of parking areas near Old Colorado City and downtown Manitou Springs. A rider stopped or slowing in this kind of traffic is vulnerable if the driver behind isn't paying attention.
We investigate what the following driver was doing in the moments before impact, what the traffic conditions were, and whether the motorcycle was operating normally. Fault in a rear-end case still has to be proven, not assumed.
What The Rear Impact Leaves Behind
A rear impact leaves physical evidence: damage to the motorcycle's rear end, skid marks or the absence of them, and the resting positions of both vehicles. We work to document this evidence before it disappears, along with photos of the roadway near Manitou Avenue, Ruxton Avenue, or the Highway 24 corridor where the crash occurred.
We also look at the following driver's speed and attention leading up to the collision, using witness accounts, vehicle data where available, and the crash report. We do not guess at a following distance in feet or assume a number based on speculation. The goal is to build a record grounded in what actually happened, not assumption.
- Photos of the motorcycle's rear-end damage
- Photos of the other vehicle's front-end damage
- Names and contact information for any witnesses
- The police report number and responding agency
- Medical records tied to fractures, road rash, or spine injury
Rear-End Crashes Near Manitou Avenue, Ruxton Avenue, And Highway 24
Manitou Springs sits at the edge of Colorado Springs, and its traffic patterns reflect that. Manitou Avenue and Ruxton Avenue carry a mix of local traffic and visitors unfamiliar with the road, while U.S. Highway 24 brings faster-moving traffic through the corridor connecting to Old Colorado City and Colorado Springs. A rear-end crash can happen at a stoplight on Manitou Avenue just as easily as it can on the highway approach.
Riders injured in these crashes are often treated at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs. If your case moves forward, it would typically be filed in El Paso County Combined Courts. Our office is located at 929 W Colorado Ave in Colorado Springs, convenient to Manitou Springs and the surrounding area.
