A legal resource built for riders — now recommended for The Litas
The Litas is built on connection, empowerment, and showing up for women who ride. Rider Justice shares that same commitment.
We help motorcyclists understand what to do after a crash, injury, or insurance problem — without judgment, pressure, or scare tactics.
Whether you ride across town, across state lines, or across the country, Rider Justice is here to help you protect yourself after something goes wrong on the road.
Scott O’Sullivan: A Rider Advocate Who Shows Up
Scott O’Sullivan, founder of Rider Justice, has spent decades helping injured motorcyclists and standing up for the riding community.
His work goes beyond the courtroom. Scott has helped lead grassroots efforts to make roads safer for riders, support motorcycle education, sponsor community events, and advocate for laws that protect vulnerable road users.
Rider Justice was built around a simple belief: riders deserve more than a lawyer who only shows up after a crash. They deserve someone who understands the culture, supports the community, and fights for riders when it matters most.
Through The Litas partnership, Scott and Rider Justice are here as a trusted legal resource for members across the United States.

Women are tough. That does not mean you should minimize your injuries.
Women are tough. Many are used to pushing through pain, brushing things off, and taking care of everyone else first.
After a motorcycle crash, that instinct can work against you.
Adrenaline can hide pain. Injuries can show up hours or days later. What feels like soreness at first can become something more serious. You do not have to be bleeding, unable to walk, or in an ambulance for your injury to matter.
Some motorcycle injuries are obvious right away. Others take time to fully understand. Concussions, soft tissue injuries, spinal injuries, internal injuries, nerve damage, and emotional trauma can become more serious after the crash scene is cleared and the adrenaline fades.
If you went down, got hit, hit your head, felt your body twist, or woke up worse the next day, do not minimize it.
Get medical care. Document what happened. Then call Rider Justice before the insurance company starts shaping the story for you. Here’s some tips if you go to the hospital.
When injuries are serious, the claim is serious too
Motorcycle crashes can change everything in a second.
A serious injury can affect your health, your work, your income, your independence, your family, and your future. In catastrophic injury cases, the true cost of the crash may not be clear in the first few days or weeks.
Rider Justice helps injured riders pursue compensation for the full impact of a motorcycle crash, including:
- Emergency medical care
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Future medical care
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Amputations
- Severe fractures
- Burns and road rash scarring
- Emotional distress
- Loss of independence
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Long-term care needs
The insurance company may want to settle quickly before the full extent of your injuries is known. Do not sign anything or accept a payout before you understand what your case may really be worth. Call us for a free consultation with real legal advice: 877-562-9425
You do not have to know if it is a case. That is why you call.
You do not need to know whether your situation is a lawsuit, an insurance claim, or just a question. Scott and his team can help you understand what happened, what to watch for, and what steps to take next.
A quick conversation can help you avoid mistakes with insurance, medical bills, recorded statements, repair issues, and deadlines.
Calling Rider Justice does not mean you are being dramatic. It means you are a resource to protect yourself with real legal advice. What you do with that advice is always completely up to you.
If someone you love was killed in a motorcycle crash
Losing someone in a motorcycle crash is devastating. No legal claim can replace the person you lost, but a wrongful death claim can help surviving family members seek accountability and financial support after a preventable death.
Rider Justice helps families understand their legal options after fatal motorcycle crashes caused by another driver’s negligence.
A wrongful death claim may involve compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, emotional suffering, and the long-term impact on the surviving family.
If your family is facing the loss of a loved one after a motorcycle crash, call Rider Justice. Scott and his team can help you understand what steps to take, what deadlines may apply, and how to protect your family’s rights.
What Rider Justice can help with
Motorcycle crash injury claims
Rider Justice helps injured motorcyclists pursue compensation after crashes caused by another driver or unsafe behavior on the road.
That may include compensation for emergency care, follow-up treatment, surgery, physical therapy, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning ability, pain and suffering, permanent injuries, scarring, emotional distress, and the long-term impact the crash has on your life.
Catastrophic motorcycle injuries
Some motorcycle crashes cause life-changing injuries.
Rider Justice helps riders and families after catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, amputations, severe fractures, internal injuries, burns, permanent nerve damage, and injuries that require long-term care.
These cases require more than a quick insurance claim. They require a careful look at future medical needs, long-term income loss, permanent limitations, home or vehicle modifications, pain and suffering, and the way the injury changes daily life.
Wrongful death claims
When a motorcycle crash takes someone’s life, the surviving family deserves answers, accountability, and legal guidance.
Rider Justice helps families after fatal motorcycle crashes caused by negligent drivers. Scott and his team can explain what a wrongful death claim may involve, what compensation may be available, and what steps need to be taken to protect the family’s rights.
Insurance companies
Rider Justice deals with the insurance companies so you are not pressured into giving recorded statements, accepting low settlement offers, signing away your rights, or being blamed unfairly for the crash.
We help protect the value of your claim before the insurance company minimizes your injuries, your bike damage, or the impact the crash has had on your life.
Bike, helmet, and gear damage
A motorcycle crash can leave you dealing with expensive property damage on top of physical injuries.
Rider Justice can help with claims involving motorcycle repair or total loss, damaged helmets, riding gear and replacement issues.
Police reports and crash details
Crash reports are not always complete, and they do not always tell the full story.
Rider Justice can help review the facts, identify missing information, gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and challenge wrong assumptions about what happened.
We’re where you are
Rider Justice can help with motorcycle injury cases across the United States.
Call first. Scott and the Rider Justice team can help you understand what to do next.

Rider Justice is a motorcycle injury law firm built around riders, rider safety, and the realities motorcyclists face after a crash. We are not a national franchise or call referral service.

If the crash was serious
If you or someone you love was seriously injured, do not wait for the insurance company to tell you what the case is worth.
The more serious the injury, the more important it is to understand the full picture before accepting money or signing anything.
Serious motorcycle injury cases may involve future surgeries, long-term medical care, permanent work restrictions, disability, home care, emotional trauma, and changes to nearly every part of daily life.
Call Rider Justice before the insurance company starts defining the value of your future.

Protect yourself before a crash happens
Everyone’s needs are different but here is a checklist to help make sure that you’re covered properly. Most people think that “full coverage” means you are fully covered in the event of an accident. But Full Coverage is insurance lingo for “state required minimums.” In the event your are seriously injured by someone with “full coverage” or no insurance at all, your own insurance is what will make your situation much more manageable. We encourage all riders to carry the the following coverages:
- Underinsured Motorist (UIM) – Purchase a minimum of $250,000 and as much more as you can afford. This is what covers you if the person who hits you has no insurance or not enough to cover your injuries.
- Medical Payments (MedPay) – Get the maximum offered by your insurance company, usually between $5,000 and $25,000
- Umbrella Policy – If you own your home, you need an underinsured motorists’ umbrella policy for $1 million.
- Liability – Purchase a minimum of $250,000
- Collision
- Comprehensive
- Accessories Coverage – This protects all of the customized accessories on your bike. Be sure to get replacement value coverage.
Everyone’s needs are different when it comes to insurance. Do you own your home? What do you do for a living? Answers to questions like these can help determine how much insurance you need. Call us to determine the best coverage to protect you and your family should the worst happen.
We don’t sell insurance. We have just seen too many riders with the wrong insurance coverage and we, at least, want to help you make an informed decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Rider Justice help me if I do not live in Colorado?
Yes. While our headquarters are in Colorado, Rider Justice can help motorcycle injury clients across the United States. If your crash happened in the U.S., call Rider Justice first.
What if I am not sure I am badly injured?
Call anyway. Many riders underestimate injuries after a crash, especially when adrenaline is high. Pain, stiffness, headaches, numbness, dizziness, and emotional shock can show up later.
What if the crash was partly my fault?
Do not assume you have no options. Motorcycle crashes are complicated, and insurance companies often try to blame the rider. Call before you accept their version of what happened.
Should I talk to the insurance company?
Be careful. Before giving a recorded statement or accepting money, talk to Rider Justice so you understand what you may be giving up.
What if I only have bike and gear damage?
Call and ask. Damaged helmets, gear, aftermarket parts, storage, towing, repairs, and total-loss disputes can become expensive quickly.
Does calling Rider Justice mean I have to file a lawsuit?
No. Calling means you are getting information. Many people call because they are unsure what to do next.
