    Determining fault after a Denver motorcycle accident is crucial. An attorney can investigate your crash, determine why it happened and identify any and all parties who might be liable for the harm you suffered. In some motorcycle crashes, more than one person can be responsible for what happened to you. So, make sure to work with an attorney with the skills and experience it takes to identify precisely who should be held accountable. Responsible parties often include:

    • The other driver involved in the crash
    • The driver’s employer (if the driver was working at the time of the accident)
    • A store, bar or restaurant that served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated or underage minor
    • A motorcycle mechanic who made shoddy repairs to the bike
    • The manufacturer of a defective motorcycle or motorcycle part
    • A government agency that negligently designed or maintained a road.
