KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS WHO WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CASE
Greeley Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Grant & Associates Law Firm can help you with many types of personal injury matters, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, & wrongful death. Our proven litigators will fight to get a favorable outcome for your case.
A rider has no steel around them, so a crash a car would walk away from can mean broken bones, a head injury and months of treatment and lost work. We hold the driver who caused it responsible, so you can focus on healing.
From our Greeley office we represent riders along the entire Front Range and across Colorado. We work with accident reconstructionists, economists and doctors to show what happened and what it has cost you.
Motorcycle cases we handle
- Drivers who turn left across a rider or pull out from a side street
- Lane changes into a rider, and rear-end crashes
- Riders hit by a semi-truck or commercial vehicle
- Uninsured and hit-and-run drivers (see insurance disputes)
- Crashes that took a rider's life (see wrongful death)
What it costs
The consultation is free, and we take these cases on a contingency fee: a percentage of what we recover, agreed in writing before we start, with no hourly bill. If there is no recovery you owe no attorney fee; a client may still be responsible for case costs, and for the other side's attorney fees if a court orders them.
Our firm obtained a settlement of more than $4,900,000 for a motorcyclist struck by a semi-truck (see our representative cases). Every case turns on its own facts; a past result does not predict or promise the outcome of any other matter.
What to do after a motorcycle crash
- Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine. Head and internal injuries do not always show at the scene.
- Call the police and get the report number.
- Keep your gear. Do not repair or throw away your helmet, jacket or bike: they are evidence.
- Take photos of the scene, the vehicles and your injuries, and get witness names.
- Do not give the driver’s insurer a recorded statement, and call us before you sign anything.
Motorcycle accident questions
How long do I have to file a claim?
For most injuries from a crash, three years from the date of the accident (C.R.S. 13-80-101(1)(n)); a claim for a death has two years (C.R.S. 13-80-102(1)(d)). If a city, county or state vehicle was involved, written notice is due within 182 days (C.R.S. 24-10-109). Evidence fades long before those deadlines, so call early.
I was not wearing a helmet. Can I still recover?
Yes. Colorado requires helmets only for riders and passengers under 18 (C.R.S. 42-4-1502). An insurer may argue a helmet would have reduced a head injury, but it does not bar your claim for the crash.
Is lane filtering legal in Colorado?
Since August 2024, a rider may pass between stopped vehicles going the same direction at 15 mph or less, when the lanes are wide enough and it is safe (C.R.S. 42-4-1503). Riding between moving vehicles is still illegal. If you were filtering legally, the driver cannot blame the filtering itself.
What if the crash was partly my fault?
You can still recover as long as your share of the fault is less than the other side’s, but your damages are reduced by your percentage; at 50 percent or more, you recover nothing (C.R.S. 13-21-111). Insurers often try to blame the rider, which is why scene evidence matters.
