Old Colorado City Motorcycle Passenger Injury Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Old Colorado City motorcycle passenger lawyers for passengers hurt when another driver hit the motorcycle. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
When another driver causes a crash that injures a motorcycle passenger, the passenger generally has a negligence claim against that driver. You were not operating the bike, and the at-fault driver's insurer cannot avoid responsibility simply because you were riding along.
Depending on the facts, a passenger 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 barred in every case either. It depends on how the operator was riding, road conditions, and what the other driver did.
Passenger injuries in a motorcycle crash often include being thrown from the bike, road rash, broken bones, and head injury. These injuries are not always more or less severe than what the operator suffers, and we evaluate each passenger's case on its own facts and medical record.
Documenting Your Crash and Medical Treatment
We gather scene evidence, witness accounts, and vehicle damage information to show how the crash happened and who was at fault. Because a passenger's claim can involve more than one at-fault party, we look closely at the full picture before deciding who to pursue.
Medical records documenting your treatment, whether at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central or elsewhere, help establish the extent of your injuries and connect them directly to the crash. We also review police reports and any available photos or video from the crash location.
- Photos of your injuries, gear, and the crash scene
- Contact information for any witnesses
- Names of everyone involved, including the operator and other driver
- Copies of medical records and bills
- Any texts or notes describing how the crash happened
