When you think about motorcycle accidents, cars are usually the main culprits that come to mind. However, other factors are at play in many motorcycle wrecks.

Our small Boulder, CO, law firm takes the time to understand and know every client. We consider every avenue to maximum compensation and help you get what is owed following a motorcycle injury. This holds regardless of the cause of your injury. This blog explores three causes of motorcycle wrecks that might surprise you.
Other Motorcycle Riders
While most motorcycle accidents are caused by other vehicles, fellow motorcyclists can also be a surprising cause of collisions. Riders who are inexperienced, reckless, or fail to follow the rules of the road can create dangerous situations, resulting in crashes that cause serious injuries. For example, did you know that Colorado law prohibits lane splitting but that sharing a lane with another bike is legal? Many motorcyclists may not be familiar with these rules, which can lead to serious accidents.
Faulty Motorcycle Parts
Defective or faulty motorcycle parts can lead to catastrophic accidents. When essential components like brakes, tires, or steering mechanisms fail, you can lose control of your bike, risking your life. In these situations, the manufacturer of the faulty part may be held liable for the accident.
Dangerous Roads
Poorly designed or improperly maintained roads can also contribute to motorcycle wrecks. Potholes, uneven pavement, and poorly marked construction zones can all cause accidents. When a road’s design or maintenance is a factor in your crash, the responsible entity, such as a city or state agency, may be liable.
