Motorcycle laws are very important to a potential personal injury case in Colorado. The very first thing you need to realize is that to even drive a motorcycle on Colorado roads, you need to have a specific motorcycle license or a specific motorcycle endorsement for your license.
Another factor that comes into play in Colorado is Colorado does not have a helmet law, meaning adults can ride their motorcycles on the roads and they’re not required by law to wear a helmet.
Another unique aspect about Colorado law and motorcycles is that we allow what is called lane filtering, and that means that if traffic is stopped, a motorcycle can drive in between the cars and move to the front of the traffic.
Those are all important facts that people need to know before they even drive a motorcycle in the state of Colorado, and each of those factors potentially has an impact on. On a personal injury case, Colorado has what’s called a modified comparative faults, which means that if you, as the motorcycle driver, are more than 50% at fault for the accident, you will not be able to pursue your claim.
