Passenger Claims After A Superior Motorcycle Crash
McCormick & Murphy are Superior motorcycle passenger lawyers for passengers hurt when another driver hit the motorcycle. We file in Boulder County Justice Center.
As a passenger, you were not driving either vehicle, and that matters. When another driver causes a crash on U.S. Highway 36, McCaslin Boulevard, or elsewhere in Superior, you generally have a negligence claim against that driver just like any other injured person on the road.
In some cases, the motorcycle operator's own negligence contributes to the crash or to the severity of your injuries. When that happens, you may also have a claim involving the operator. Not every passenger has a claim against the rider, and a passenger is not automatically barred from bringing one either. Whether that applies depends on the facts of the crash.
You were not required to assume the risk of someone else's carelessness just because you accepted a ride. Getting on a motorcycle does not waive your right to hold a negligent driver, or a negligent operator, accountable for your injuries.
Documenting Your Passenger Injuries And The Crash
Passenger injuries from a motorcycle crash can include being thrown from the bike, road rash, fractures, and head injury. Medical records from AdventHealth Avista in Louisville or wherever you were treated help document the nature and extent of what you suffered. We also look at police reports, witness accounts, and physical evidence from the scene to understand how the crash happened.
Because a passenger's claim can involve more than one potentially responsible party, we look closely at what each driver and operator did leading up to the crash. That includes speed, lane position, right-of-way, and any statements made at the scene. A clear picture of fault helps us pursue every claim available to you.

Clear Answers On Superior Motorcycle Passenger Injuries
Do I need Superior motorcycle passenger lawyers after a crash?
Call Superior 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 I was riding on?
Generally, yes. As a passenger, you were not responsible for either vehicle, and you can typically bring a negligence claim against a driver who caused the crash.
Can I also have a claim against the motorcycle operator?
It depends on the facts. If the operator's own negligence contributed to the crash or your injuries, you may have a claim involving them as well, but that is not automatic in every case.
Does accepting a ride mean I can't recover damages?
No. Choosing to ride as a passenger does not waive your right to pursue a claim against a negligent driver or operator.
What kinds of injuries do passengers typically suffer?
Passengers can be thrown from the motorcycle and suffer road rash, fractures, or head injury, among other harm. The severity varies by crash and does not always mirror what the operator experienced.
What should I do first after being hurt as a passenger?
Get medical attention and preserve any evidence you can, including photos and witness contacts. Reaching out for a free consultation can help you understand what claims may be available to you.
