The Boulder Daily Camera reports on a tragic motorcycle accident just north of Longmont. Two riders on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle were thrown from the bike in a single-vehicle accident that had no apparent witnesses. Neither rider was wearing a helmet, and both died at the scene. According to investigators, there was no other vehicle involved in the accident, and no cause has been released as to what caused the accident, although investigators believe that speed may have played a role. The accident is still under investigation.

Have you been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident? Contact a Boulder motorcycle accident lawyer immediately to discuss your options.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 4000 motorcyclists are killed in traffic accidents every year. Of course, motorcyclists have less protection in the event of an accident than occupants of cars, and are therefore more likely to be seriously injured in accidents. It may be important to note that, because Colorado does not have a universal motorcycle helmet law, riders above the age of 18 have the right to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. There have been many studies demonstrating that helmets can prevent many injuries and fatalities, but it is still a choice that Coloradans have the right to make.

If you or a family member have been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, speak with an experienced Boulder motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options. Todd Tenge has helped numerous motorcyclists recover compensation for injuries sustained after accidents in which another driver was at fault.

Pedestrian accidents are a very serious concern, because the danger to a pedestrian who is hit by a car is very high. With no protection against the accident, pedestrians are extremely prone to serious injury or even death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, several dozen pedestrians are killed in Colorado traffic accidents every year. The only good news there is that over the last few years the number seems to be decreasing. In any case, pedestrians are extremely vulnerable in crashes, and the risk of serious injury is very high.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a pedestrian accident, speak with a dedicated Boulder pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Obviously, no one ever expects to be involved in an auto accident, let alone one that results in serious injury or death. Yet, with the increasing congestion of America’s roadways and the number of distractions that promote reckless and careless driving, severe injuries are an ever-present risk that even the most prudent and vigilant motorists face every time they get behind the wheel.
