May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique risks motorcyclists face on the road and to encourage drivers to stay alert and share the road responsibly. Unfortunately, even the most cautious riders can be seriously injured when others drive recklessly. If you or a loved one has been hit by a car while riding, Debbie Taussig Law is here to help.
Understanding the Unique Challenges Motorcyclists Face
Unlike those in passenger vehicles, motorcyclists have no steel frame to protect them in a crash. As a result, even a relatively minor collision can lead to:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and road rash
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
At Debbie Taussig Law, we understand how devastating these injuries can be—not just physically, but emotionally and financially. That’s why we treat every case with the focus and compassion it deserves.
How We Help Injured Motorcyclists
When you’re recovering from a motorcycle accident, the last thing you need is to fight with insurance companies or worry about legal deadlines. Our team steps in to take that burden off your shoulders. Here’s how we help:
- Thorough Investigation: We dig deep into the details of your crash. This means collecting police reports, interviewing witnesses, securing traffic camera footage, and working with experts when needed.
- Proving Negligence: Motorcycle riders are often unfairly blamed for accidents. We push back on biased assumptions and prove when a negligent driver caused the crash, whether they were speeding, distracted, impaired, or simply failed to yield.
- Calculating the Full Extent of Your Damages: Motorcycle injuries can lead to a lifetime of care. We look beyond your current medical bills to pursue compensation for:
- Future medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent injuries
- Physical impairment
- Fighting Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, especially in motorcycle cases. We handle all communication with insurers, negotiate for full and fair compensation, and won’t hesitate to take your case to court if that’s what it takes.
- Providing Personal, Woman-Owned Advocacy: At Debbie Taussig Law, we pride ourselves on treating clients like people, not case numbers. As a woman-owned law firm in Boulder, we bring empathy, strength, and strategic advocacy to every case. We listen to your story, explain your options clearly, and support you at every step.
- Preparing Every Case for Trial: While many cases settle out of court, we prepare each one as if it’s going to trial. This approach often results in stronger settlements—and ensures we’re ready if a trial becomes necessary.
