Denver Motorsport Accident Attorney

One of the great things about living in Colorado is the vast open spaces, and the huge number of activities that we can do in those open spaces. Many Coloradans value their time spent skiing, camping, hiking, and generally playing in our beautiful mountains. Some of the favorite ways to spend this time involve various motorsport vehicles: motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), snowmobiles and more. These activities take our minds off of the stress of everyday life, provide a great way to spend quality time with friends and family, and in many cases help promote physical health. Unfortunately, these motorsport vehicles can also be the cause of serious injury.

The most important thing top know about these vehicles is how to stay safe while riding one. First, many motorsport vehicles are not approved for travel on public roads; never drive a vehicle that isn’t “street legal” on the street. Any time you ride any of these motorsport vehicles, you should wear a helmet. Independent studies have shown repeatedly that wearing a Department of Transportation (DOT) compliant helmet greatly improves your likelihood of avoiding serious injury or death in the event of a crash. DOT compliant helmets have DOT stickers on the back, and often have a tag sewn into the lining as well. It is also good to know that all DOT approved helmets cover the ears and are at least an inch thick. Finally, while riding these types of vehicles, ride safely: know your own skill level and never ride faster or on rougher terrain than you are comfortable with, and keep a safe distance from hazards and other riders.
