According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, motorcycle registrations have increased from 90,000 (1994) to 157,000 (2007). The increased registration of motorcycles has led to the rise in fatal motorcycle accidents. In 2007, there was an average of 8 motorcycle fatalities a month.

Colorado does not have a mandatory helmet law. Therefore, motorcycle safety is left up to the rider. In states with universal helmet laws, there is an average 11% reduction in motorcycle fatalities. Statistically, motorcycle accidents are caused by the operator of the other vehicle - mostly because motorcyclists can be difficult to see.

Non-fatal motorcycle accidents can still be devastating. Motorcycle accidents can result in brain injury, skeletal damage, spinal-cord injury, and paralysis. Manuel J. Solano consults with key experts in accident analysis, medicine, and insurance to determine the cause of the accident and what can be done for the people injured.
