For many women, riding a motorcycle is about freedom, independence, and power. But when a crash happens, that sense of control can disappear in an instant, especially in a system that too often overlooks women’s voices. At Debbie Taussig Law, we understand what it means to fight for women who have been injured while doing what they love. As a woman-owned personal injury law firm in Boulder, Colorado, we are proud to stand with female riders every step of the way.
A Unique Understanding of Women Riders
Motorcycle culture has long been male-dominated, but the number of women riders has grown steadily over the years. Despite this progress, many women still face gender bias after a crash. Some are dismissed by law enforcement, underestimated by insurance adjusters, or talked down to by attorneys. At our firm, that doesn’t fly.
We take the time to listen, understand your experience, and fight back against the bias you may face…on and off the road. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver or forced to lay your bike down to avoid a crash, your story matters.
We Know the Stakes Are Higher for Women
Statistically, women injured in motorcycle accidents may experience different types of injuries than men—and sometimes their pain is dismissed or downplayed. For example:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries: Studies indicate that women are 1.5 to 2 times more likely than men to suffer neck soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash, in vehicle collisions. This increased risk is attributed to anatomical and physiological differences, including variations in neck musculature and spinal alignment.
- Long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Research suggests that women may experience more severe and prolonged symptoms following a TBI compared to men. These can include heightened risks of depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments.
- Protective gear limitations: Many motorcycle protective clothing items are designed based on male body types, potentially compromising their effectiveness for women. A study found that a significant proportion of women’s motorcycle gear failed to provide adequate protection during crashes, highlighting the need for gear specifically tailored to female riders.
At Debbie Taussig Law, we work to build the strongest possible case for each of our clients. We want each case to reflect our client’s physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Not Just a Case…It’s Your Life
We understand that being injured in a motorcycle crash can affect every part of your life: your career, your family, your identity, and even your sense of safety. As a woman-owned law firm, we bring not just legal knowledge but empathy and advocacy to the table. We know how to push back when insurance companies lowball or delay your claim. We know how to go to trial if that’s what justice demands.
But most importantly, we know how to support you through one of the most difficult chapters of your life. You shouldn’t have to fight this alone…and you don’t have to.
Motorcycle Safety Awareness: A Reminder to Drivers
With the nicer weather, it is the perfect time to remind drivers in Colorado to:
- Look twice before changing lanes.
- Give riders extra space.
- Stay alert at intersections.
- Put phones away and avoid distracted driving.
Too many crashes involving motorcyclists happen because drivers simply weren’t paying attention. If you’ve been hit by a careless or distracted driver, know that we’ll work to hold them accountable.
