What Can You Recover After an Aurora Bike Crash?
Most serious bicycle accidents we take resolve between $200,000 and $3 million, and the catastrophic ones go seven to eight figures. Cyclist injuries are permanence injuries, and permanence is uncapped in Colorado.
We prepare every case for trial from day one, and insurers know it. That is why our settlements come in bigger and faster. And so far, we are undefeated.
With us, you speak directly with your attorney, we help you get immediate medical care, regardless whether you have insurance, and there's no fee unless we win. Contact us now for a free consultation.
Why Bicycle Cases Are Different
A cyclist claim is a fight about visibility and blame: the driver says the rider appeared from nowhere; the insurer says the rider should not have been there at all. Colorado law says otherwise, riders may take the lane, drivers must pass at three feet and yield on turns, and the crash geometry (right hook, left cross, dooring, driveway pull-out) usually identifies the violation on its own. Our bicycle accident guide covers the statutes in depth; here the work is Aurora's street design and its drivers' habits.
Where a driver's insurance is the recovery, the claim runs on the same rails as our car accident overview.
Where Aurora Cyclists Get Hurt
The trouble is the transitions: a rider leaves the High Line Canal or a Toll Gate Creek path and has to cross or ride Havana, Mississippi, Iliff, or Chambers, high-speed arterials with intermittent bike infrastructure and some of the state's most dangerous intersections. Strip-mall driveways along Colfax and Havana produce constant pull-out collisions; the growing east side adds construction traffic on roads without shoulders. Aurora is investing in trails faster than in protected crossings, and riders pay the difference.
How We Build an Aurora Bicycle Case
We treat it like the vehicle crash it is: camera canvass along the corridor within days, the car's event data recorder, the driver's phone records, scene mapping, and, often decisive in bike cases, the rider's own GPS data from a Garmin or Strava file, which fixes speed and position beyond argument. The damaged bike is preserved as evidence, not repaired.
What Types of Damages Are Available?
Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal crash carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. For riders, the uncapped impairment category matters enormously: a fused wrist or a shoulder that no longer rotates changes work and life permanently, and we prove it with treating specialists rather than letting an adjuster call it "soft tissue."
Venue, Deadlines, and Whether Your Case Goes to Trial
Arapahoe County District Court for most of Aurora, Adams County for the northwest side. Three years to file (C.R.S. § 13-80-101), two for wrongful death, 182 days for notice if a trail or road defect contributed. Insurers test cyclists with low offers built on blame, the reconstruction is the answer, and we build it in every case. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
