Left-Turn And Failure-To-Yield Claims In Aurora
McCormick & Murphy are Aurora left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in Arapahoe County Justice Center.
Left-turn crashes are negligence cases. When a driver turns across a rider's path, the question is whether that driver failed to yield to a motorcyclist who had the right of way at the time of the turn.
We do not assume every left-turn crash is automatically the car driver's fault. The rider's lane position, whether signals were used, and the rider's speed approaching the intersection all matter to how fault gets divided.
Because these cases often come down to who had the right of way and whether the turning driver had a clear opportunity to see the motorcycle, we look closely at the specific facts of the intersection and the moments before impact rather than treating the crash type as automatic liability.
Point Of Impact And Sight Lines In A Left-Turn Crash
Point of impact evidence helps show where the motorcycle was and what the turning driver should have seen. We look at sight lines from the driver's position, any obstructions, and the geometry of the intersection to understand what was visible before the turn.
Witness accounts and video, where available, can confirm speed, signal use, and timing. We gather what exists early, since this kind of proof is the backbone of a left-turn or failure-to-yield claim and can fade or disappear quickly.

- Contact information for anyone who saw the turn happen
- Any dashcam, doorbell, or traffic camera video near the intersection

Your Aurora Left-Turn Motorcycle Crash Questions, Answered
Do I need Aurora left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Aurora left-turn motorcycle lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is in Denver, CO.
Is the car driver always at fault in a left-turn crash?
Not automatically. Fault depends on whether the turning driver failed to yield to a rider who had the right of way, and on factors like the rider's lane position, speed, and signal use. Each case is evaluated on its own facts.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Colorado uses a comparative negligence rule, so your recovery can be reduced by your share of fault. If your share of fault is as great as or greater than the other party's, recovery can be barred entirely.
What evidence matters most in these cases?
Point of impact, sight lines at the intersection, witness accounts, and any available video are typically the most useful. These details help show what the turning driver could see and when.
Where do these cases get handled if I was hurt in Aurora?
Depending on where the crash happened, the case may involve Arapahoe, Adams, or Douglas counties, with litigation potentially proceeding through the Arapahoe County Justice Center.
What does a free consultation involve?
We review the facts of your crash, discuss how fault and evidence apply to your situation, and explain your options. There is no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
