Denver BICYCLE Accident Attorney
They See a 'Biker.' I See a Right to the Road.
I’ve raced BMX, I commute to work, and I take my daughter to school on two wheels. I know the risks because I ride the same roads you do. Talk to a lawyer who rides, and a fee that starts at 29%
Representation by a Real Rider
Understanding the Crash Dynamics
Police and insurance adjusters often blame the cyclist by default. I understand the physics of riding: stopping distances, turn radiuses, and line of sight. I can reconstruct the crash to prove the driver violated your right of way, not the other way around.
The '3-Foot' Rule
Colorado law requires drivers to give cyclists at least 3 feet of space. When they fail, whether out of aggression or distraction, and force you off the road, that is negligence per se. We hold them accountable.
The Medical Complexities
Riding injuries are unique. From road rash to traumatic brain injuries, we understand the mechanism of injury better than generalist firms. We know how to prove the long-term impact of a crash on your body and your ability to ride again.
A Lawyer Who Actually Rides
I don’t just handle bike cases; I live the lifestyle. From racing downhill and BMX growing up to commuting to work and taking my daughter to school on the bike today, I spend as much time on two wheels as I can.
I know the freedom of riding to a Broncos game, and I know the fear of a distracted driver drifting into the bike lane.
When you hire VENYX Injury Law, you aren't explaining 'what happened' to a guy in a suit who hasn't ridden since childhood. You are talking to a fellow rider who knows exactly what you are going through and how to fight back.
Common Causes of Crashes
The "Right Hook"
Drivers frequently pass a cyclist and then immediately turn right, cutting them off. This is the most common, and deadly, violation of a cyclist's right of way.
"Dooring" Incidents
A driver opening their door into a bike lane is responsible for the crash. We fight to prove that you had nowhere to escape and the driver failed to check their mirror.
Hit-and-Run
Drivers often panic and flee after hitting a rider. We work immediately to pull traffic cam footage and witness statements to track them down—or pursue your own UM/UIM insurance.
Bike Lane Violations
Bike lanes are not loading zones for Uber drivers or delivery trucks. If you were forced into traffic because a vehicle blocked the lane, that driver shares liability for your injuries.
Road Rage & Harassment
I ride these streets; I know how aggressive Denver drivers can be. If a driver 'brake checks' you or buzzes you intentionally, we pursue punitive damages for their reckless conduct.
E-Bike Injuries
Whether you are on a traditional road bike or a pedal-assist commuter, your rights are identical. We are ahead of the curve on the specific laws governing Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes.
Common Injuries We Fight For
We Know the Anatomy of a Crash.
Orthopedic & Extremity Injuries
As riders, our hands, wrists, and legs often take the first impact. We handle complex fractures (scaphoid, clavicle, tibia/fibula) and ligament tears that require surgical reconstruction.
Road Rash & Soft Tissue
Insurance adjusters often downplay "soft tissue" injuries. We know that severe road rash involves risk of infection, permanent scarring, and skin grafting. We treat these as the serious injuries they are.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Even with a high-end helmet, the rotational forces in a high-side or collision can cause concussions and TBIs. We work with neurologists to document cognitive deficits that aren't visible on an X-ray.
Spinal Cord & Nerve Damage
From herniated discs to brachial plexus injuries (stinger/burner), we understand how spinal trauma affects your mobility and long-term quality of life.
Recovering the Full Value of Your Life
Full Compensation for the Human Cost
We fight for "non-economic" damages that insurance companies try to ignore. This includes compensation for physical pain, emotional anguish, physical impairment, and the loss of enjoyment of life. If you can't race, ride, or work like you used to, we make them pay for that loss.
Medical Bills & Rehabilitation
We ensure coverage for the full spectrum of your care, from the ER and surgery to long-term physical therapy and future medical needs. We ensure the settlement covers the cost to get you back to 100%, not just "stable.
Lost Wages & Earning Capacity
A serious crash can derail your career. We calculate and demand the full value of your lost wages and any diminution in your future earning capacity. You shouldn't lose your livelihood because of a distracted driver.
Common Questions After a Bycicle Crash
How much does it cost to hire you?
You pay $0 upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee starts at 29%, significantly lower than the standard 33–40% charged by most Denver firms. You get more from your case.
Can I still recover if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Yes. While we always recommend helmets, failing to wear one does not bar you from recovering damages in Colorado. The defense may try to argue "comparative negligence," but we fight to keep the focus on the driver's error, not your gear.
What if the driver says I 'swerved'?
We look at the road. Cyclists have a right to take the lane to avoid obstacles (potholes, glass, debris). Moving out of the gutter is not 'swerving'; it is defensive riding. We explain this necessity to the jury.
Who pays for my injuries and losses?
We aggressively pursue the at-fault driver and their insurance company. Our job is to prove their negligence and force them to pay for your medical treatment, lost income, and pain and suffering. You shouldn't have to foot the bill for someone else's mistake, and we make sure they are held accountable.
