How We Handle Your Auto or Truck Accident Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Broomfield auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Broomfield Police Department report, the UCHealth Broomfield Hospital records, and file in the Broomfield Combined Courts.
Broomfield sits at a crossroads of major corridors—U.S. 36, Colorado Highway 121, 120th Avenue, and Midway Boulevard all converge on our community. That geography means rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, commercial-truck collisions, hit-and-runs, and distracted or impaired-driving incidents happen regularly. We begin every case by learning exactly what happened: we obtain the Broomfield Police Department crash report, photograph the scene, locate and interview witnesses, and preserve electronic evidence before it disappears.
We then identify every driver, company, and insurance policy involved. In commercial-vehicle cases, we pull trucking logs, maintenance records, and inspection documents to establish whether a carrier or driver violated safety rules. We work with medical providers at UCHealth Broomfield Hospital and elsewhere to confirm your injuries and build a complete damage record. Once we have the facts, we present your claim to the at-fault driver's liability carrier and, if necessary, to your own uninsured or underinsured-motorist coverage.

Evidence We Gather and Use
A successful auto or truck accident claim rests on solid evidence. We collect crash reports from Broomfield Police Department, photographs and measurements from the collision scene, traffic-camera footage, business surveillance video, and any dashcam or cellphone recording from witnesses. In commercial-truck cases, we obtain event-data-recorder (EDR) downloads—the truck's electronic record of speed, braking, and impact—along with driver logbooks and vehicle inspection records that may reveal maintenance failures or driver fatigue.
We also secure witness statements, medical records documenting your treatment, repair estimates and invoices showing vehicle damage, and policy documents from every insurance company involved. This evidence shows how the crash occurred, proves negligence, and quantifies your losses. We organize it for negotiation with adjusters and, if needed, for presentation to Broomfield Combined Courts.
Local investigations may involve Broomfield Police Department, evidence from U.S. Highway 36 or 120th Avenue, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.

Medical Documentation and Your Recovery
Injuries from auto and truck accidents range from obvious to hidden. Broken bones, lacerations, and head trauma are immediately apparent. Whiplash, soft-tissue injury, spinal cord damage, and internal injuries may not show symptoms until days or weeks later. We ensure you receive prompt evaluation and ongoing care, coordinate your medical records from UCHealth Broomfield Hospital and other providers, and document every treatment, procedure, medication, and specialist visit.
Your medical file becomes the foundation of your damage claim. We work with your doctors to obtain detailed narratives about your diagnosis, your prognosis, any permanent effects, and the medical care you will need in the future. This record demonstrates causation—that your injury came from this specific crash—and justifies the compensation you deserve.

Broomfield Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Broomfield auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Broomfield auto and truck accident lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Denver office is in Denver, CO.
How much time do I have to file a claim for an accident injury in Broomfield?
Most motor-vehicle injury claims in Colorado have a three-year time limit from the date of injury. However, if the at-fault driver is a government entity or employee, a written notice of claim may be required within 182 days. If your accident involves a commercial vehicle or multiple parties, other notice periods or legal deadlines may apply. Do not delay—contact us as soon as possible so we can identify all applicable deadlines and preserve evidence.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
If you were injured by an uninsured driver in Broomfield, your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may protect you. We investigate the at-fault driver's identity and assets, exhaust liability insurance, and then pursue your UM claim. This process requires thorough documentation of the collision, your injuries, and the driver's lack of coverage.
How do you investigate a truck accident differently from a car accident?
Truck accidents involve additional evidence: electronic logging device (ELD) data showing driver hours, maintenance records for the commercial vehicle, trucking company hiring and safety records, and inspection reports. We also request event data recorder (black box) information and determine whether federal trucking regulations were violated. The trucking company and carrier are often jointly liable with the driver.
What is your fee arrangement?
McCormick & Murphy handles auto and truck accident injury claims on a contingency fee basis. We earn an attorney fee only when your case is settled or won. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Advanced case costs—such as expert fees, records requests, and deposition expenses—are separate from the attorney fee and are discussed upfront.
Do you handle hit-and-run accidents in Broomfield?
Yes. Hit-and-run collisions are reported to the Broomfield Police Department and may be investigated by officers. We work with you to preserve surveillance video from nearby businesses, review traffic cameras on U.S. Highway 36 and surrounding roads, and identify the at-fault driver through vehicle damage patterns and witness statements. Your uninsured motorist coverage can also cover a hit-and-run claim.
