Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle collisions are on the rise in Colorado and will probably continue to grow as cyclists and motorists try to figure out how to share the road together. If a collision does happen, it is the cyclist who is almost always placed in harm’s way.

Colorado law specifies that a cyclist must follow the same rules of the road that govern the operation of a motor vehicle. For example, it is illegal for a cyclist to ride a bicycle on the opposite or “wrong” side of a street.

Insurance companies are becoming more aggressive in dealing with claims arising from a bicycle/motor vehicle collision. It is not uncommon for a serious claim to be denied based on the assertion that the bicyclist failed to follow the rules of the road.
