Pueblo Rear-End Motorcycle Lawyers Investigating Who Hit You From Behind
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo rear-end motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a following driver hit the motorcycle. We file in Pueblo County District Court.
When a driver following a motorcycle fails to stop in time and strikes the rider from behind, that driver may be negligent. We look closely at the facts before drawing conclusions, but a rear impact often points to a driver who was following too closely, distracted, or not paying attention to traffic ahead.
That said, we do not assume the rear driver is always at fault. Sudden lane changes, unexpected braking by the motorcycle, or road hazards can complicate the picture. Our job is to investigate what actually happened on the road before your crash and build a claim based on the evidence.
Riders in a rear-end collision are often thrown from the bike, sometimes over significant distance. This can lead to fractures, road rash, and spine injuries. If your crash caused a head injury, we handle those claims with the added considerations that a brain injury case requires.
What The Impact Pattern And Driver Records Reveal
The physical evidence from the impact tells much of the story. We look at where the rear vehicle struck the motorcycle, skid marks or their absence, and the pattern of damage to the bike itself. This evidence can show how fast the following driver was traveling and whether they attempted to brake or swerve before impact.
We also examine the following driver's attention and speed leading up to the crash. Cell phone records, witness accounts, and any available video can help establish what the driver was doing in the moments before impact. We do not guess at a specific following distance in feet, but we do gather what the record actually shows about how the crash occurred.

Is the driver who hit me from behind automatically at fault?
Not automatically. While a rear impact often suggests the following driver wasn't paying attention or following too closely, we investigate the full circumstances before drawing conclusions. Factors like sudden braking or lane changes can affect the analysis.
What injuries are common in rear-end motorcycle crashes?
Riders are often thrown from the bike, which can cause fractures, road rash, and spine injuries. Head injuries can also occur and require separate, careful evaluation given their long-term impact.
What evidence helps prove the other driver was at fault?
We look at the point of rear impact, skid marks, and damage patterns on the motorcycle. We also examine the following driver's speed and attention leading up to the crash using available records and witness statements.
Do I need to know exactly how close the other driver was following?
No. We don't rely on guessing an exact following distance. Instead, we build the case from the physical evidence and available records showing how the crash unfolded.
