Why Bicycle Collisions Like This Happen in Denver

Denver has seen a rise in bike-related traffic incidents as more residents choose cycling for commuting or exercise. Yet many intersections—especially residential areas like Montbello—pose risks when motorists and cyclists share the road under unclear or inadequate infrastructure.

Common factors in these crashes include:

– Drivers failing to spot bikers in lanes or during turns

– Insufficient buffers for cyclists, leading to near-miss or severe collisions

– Limited street lighting or obscured visibility during afternoon or evening hours

– Gaps in signage and safe crossing infrastructure at mixed-use intersections

Even at moderate speeds, collisions involving bicycles can cause catastrophic injuries—broken bones, head trauma, spinal damage, and more—because cyclists lack protective barriers.

Legal Rights & Help Following a Bicycle Accident

Suffering injuries in a bike crash can be overwhelming, both physically and financially. Hospital bills, missed work, rehabilitation, and emotional distress quickly accumulate.

Colorado law may allow injured cyclists (or their families) to pursue compensation for:

– Medical expenses & ongoing care

– Lost wages

– Pain and suffering

– Damages for permanent impairment or disfigurement

To pursue these claims, it’s often necessary to obtain crash reports, investigate liability, and evaluate insurance policies. Having an experienced advocate can make a difference—especially when insurers or opposing parties assume fault based on assumptions about bicyclists.
