The mandatory insurance requirement is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for liability.
Unfortunately, not everyone meets these minimums because they cannot afford it.
This can make pursuing insurance claims following motorcycle accidents in Colorado Springs even more difficult.
Fortunately, our dedicated team of attorneys could help.
In Colorado Springs, a person should report a motorcycle accident to their insurance provider as soon as the police investigation is complete and someone is physically able to do so.
If an individual is laid up in a hospital, they should make a claim as soon as practically possible so that their insurance company and the at-fault insurance can begin their investigation.
There are rules in one’s own insurance policy when they should report an accident, so it is best not to delay it unless it is not possible because of their health or condition.
It is important to note that a person should contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance provider.
If a person caused an accident, and they do not have insurance, they should contact a lawyer, especially if they caused another individual a lot of damages because they can expect this person to make a claim against them.
If someone is the injured party, and they do not have insurance, then it is best to contact an attorney because their only source of recovery may be from the defendant.
Because this person does not have insurance to help them out, they may want to ensure that their claim against the at-fault party is handled properly.
Lack of insurance makes a huge difference in a motorcycle case in Colorado Springs.
If there is not insurance available, most individuals who caused accidents are not the type of people that have millions sitting in their bank account ready to pay someone if they hurt them.
It is usually people who cannot afford insurance.
Therefore, if they cannot afford a monthly insurance premium, they cannot afford to pay someone’s medical bills.
Lack of insurance makes a big difference in terms of treatment and a claimant’s options.
If there is no insurance available to pay for someone’s injury, then they need to find a way to pay for their treatment that is not going to send them into bankruptcy.
One of the biggest causes of bankruptcy is medical expenses, so if someone haphazardly gets medical treatment and there is no insurance to cover it, that is going to have to be paid for somehow.
For that reason, a claimant should contact an experienced attorney who can help them navigate the process and give them advice on what to do if there is no insurance available by the at-fault driver.
There may be other avenues to get treatment through one’s own insurance, even if the at-fault driver is uninsured.
One of the main ways a person may recover compensation after a motorbike wreck is through insurance.
However, this process can be challenging for some parties.

I was uneasy about reaching out to a law firm after being in an accident that left me injured and my vehicle totaled. I don’t care for the idea of suing for what was very clearly an accident. However, after learning more about the overall process of working with a professional team to navigate the murky waters of the insurance world, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the experience wasn’t as gross as I’d originally felt about it.
Springs Law is very friendly and professional. I always felt that they were on my side and cared about my injury and what I was going through. I highly recommend them.
Springs Law Group is an amazing group to work with! I got into a rough accident, and they never ceased to let me know they were there working hard to help me in my hour of need. It was always very easy to reach out to someone if I had any questions, and they were always happy to answer any questions I had.
I never have a problem with getting a response when I need them – which is not the case with most other firms. They really truly care about each client. As a plus, they always have positive attitudes, which matters tremendously when you are in a stressful legal situation.
Big thanks to Mr. Jake Kimbell and his team for their assistance with my case. He helped me through an incredibly challenging part of my life, and most importantly helped navigate through the convoluted legal channels of my case. I cannot thank him and his team enough for their support.
