Though motorcycles continue to be popular, their smaller size makes them dangerous to operate on America's roadways. When a motorcyclist is involved in an accident, he or she is more likely to be severely injured or killed than is the operator of a car or truck. Fortunately, those injured in motorcycle accidents have legal recourse, as do the relatives of a motorcyclist who suffered wrongful death. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, or a loved one has been killed, please contact the Law Office of Shawn E. McDermott to speak to our experienced Denver, Colorado motorcycle accident attorney. Our experienced personal injury lawyer can help you recover compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other expenses.
Since the 1800s, motorcycles have been an American pastime and Americans have created and joined a variety of statewide and nationwide motorcycle enthusiast clubs and organizations. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are in constant danger while operating their bikes. In fact, motorcycle fatalities have increased more than 50 percent in a recent five-year period. In 2001, more than 7 percent of motor vehicle fatalities in the United States involved motorcycle crashes, while motorcycles only made up approximately 2 percent of the vehicles on the road. More than 3,180 people were killed in motorcycle-related accidents in 2001.
Many drivers of cars or trucks do not exercise sufficient care in looking out for motorcyclists. Simple acts of negligence committed by motorists, such as speeding or failing to check their car's blind spot, can cause the injury or death of a motorcyclist. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, please contact Denver, Colorado motorcycle accident attorney Shawn E. McDermott. Our personal injury lawyer is experienced in fighting for the rights of injured motorcyclists and can help you achieve compensation for the costs related to your accident and rehabilitation.
