Northglenn Motorcycle Helmet Laws | Helmet Use and Injury Claims

The state of Colorado has a motorcycle helmet requirement for any riders or passengers aged 17-years-old or younger. This requirement extends for all motorcycles, including lower-powered models. If a motorcyclist is injured in an accident because of the lack of a helmet, they may lose some of their capacity to sue for compensation. However, they may still be able to recover some damages, even if they broke the state’s helmet laws.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident, we may be able to assist you with the process of filing a legal claim for financial compensation. For a free consultation regarding your rights and options after an injury, and to learn more about how Northglenn motorcycle helmet laws impact a claim, contact Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today.

How Using a Motorcycle Helmet Can Affect a Claim

When a person opts not to use a helmet, they may increase their chance of sustaining an injury, especially in lower-speed collisions. This can affect a claim in the following 3 ways:

For those under the age required of state helmet laws, it may noticeably decrease compensation
For adults, a lack of a helmet may reduce the amount of damages they can recover
If the injury couldn’t have been prevented with use of a helmet, it may not change compensation

In each Northglenn motorcycle injury case, the amount of compensation affected by helmet use may differ according to the specific circumstances of the case.
