Colorado Law & Bicycle Accident Claims
Under Colorado law, bicycles are considered vehicles with the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles on public roads. The "Safe Passing" law (C.R.S. 42-4-1002.5) requires drivers to give at least three feet of clearance when passing a cyclist. Colorado's comparative fault rules apply to bicycle accidents.
