Greenwood Village Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers
Greenwood Village auto and truck accident lawyers for crashes on Belleview Avenue and Orchard Road and across Greenwood Village. Free consultation. No fee unless we recover for you.
How We Build Your Auto or Truck Accident Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Greenwood Village auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Greenwood Village Police Department report, the Sky Ridge Medical Center records, and file in the Arapahoe County Justice Center.
We start by obtaining the police report filed with the Greenwood Village Police Department and photographing the scene, vehicle damage, and road conditions. We collect electronic data from the vehicle's event-data recorder, traffic-camera footage, business video, and witness statements. For commercial vehicles, we request trucking logs, inspection records, maintenance history, and driver qualification files to show negligence or violations of federal safety rules.
Once we have gathered the evidence, we work with accident-reconstruction specialists and medical experts to establish exactly how the collision occurred and which party or parties bear responsibility. We then demand payment from the at-fault driver's liability insurance, the uninsured-motorist coverage on your own policy, or the underinsured-motorist coverage if the liable driver's limits are too low. We negotiate aggressively and are prepared to file suit in Arapahoe County Justice Center if a fair settlement is not offered.
Evidence We Collect and Review
Crash reports, scene photographs, traffic-camera or business video, and event-data-recorder information from both vehicles form the foundation of every strong claim. We also gather witness statements, cell-phone records showing distracted driving, toxicology results for drunk-driving cases, and police dashcam video. For hit-and-run cases, we work with law enforcement and insurance investigators to identify the responsible vehicle and driver.
Commercial-vehicle accidents require additional scrutiny: we review trucking logs, inspection and maintenance records, the carrier's safety history, and electronic logging device data. We examine the driver's qualifications, training records, and prior violations. We also identify all insurance policies—primary, excess, and umbrella coverage—so that every source of recovery is available to compensate you fully.
Local investigations may involve Greenwood Village Police Department, evidence from Belleview Avenue or Orchard Road, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.

Medical Documentation and Injury Evaluation
Injuries from auto and truck collisions range from whiplash and soft-tissue damage to broken bones, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and internal bleeding. We obtain all medical records from HCA HealthONE Swedish, Sky Ridge Medical Center, emergency-room visits, primary-care physicians, physical therapists, and specialists. We document every treatment, hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing therapy so that your full injury history is clear.
We work with independent medical examiners and life-care planners to evaluate the long-term consequences of your injuries, including permanent disability, chronic pain, loss of earning capacity, and future medical care. These expert opinions support a higher settlement value and help ensure that the insurance company pays not just for past medical expenses, but for the lifetime impact of your injuries.

After I was hit by a drunk driver with no insurance, my own insurer refused UM benefits. McCormick & Murphy sued for uninsured motorist benefits and bad faith. A jury awarded me over $900,000.

Greenwood Village Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Greenwood Village auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Greenwood Village 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.
What is the deadline to file an auto-accident claim in Greenwood Village?
Colorado law generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury claim. However, if a public entity (such as Greenwood Village or a government agency) is involved, you may need to provide written notice much sooner—sometimes within 182 days. Other exceptions and shorter time limits can apply depending on the parties and circumstances. Contact McCormick & Murphy immediately after a collision to protect your rights.
How does McCormick & Murphy charge for auto-accident cases?
We handle auto and truck-accident injury claims on a contingency-fee basis. That means we earn an attorney fee only if your case is settled or won at trial. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Costs to investigate and develop your claim—such as medical records, expert reports, and filing fees—are separate from the attorney fee and are advanced by the firm.
What should I do immediately after a collision on Belleview Avenue or another Greenwood Village road?
Call 911 if anyone is injured. Report the collision to Greenwood Village Police Department. Obtain the other driver's license, insurance, and vehicle information. Take photographs of vehicle damage, the road, traffic signals, and street conditions. Get contact information from any independent witnesses. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine—injuries may appear later. Do not admit fault or sign anything except for police or medical personnel. Call McCormick & Murphy as soon as possible to discuss the collision.
Can I recover damages if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Yes. Colorado law requires most auto policies to include uninsured-motorist (UM) and underinsured-motorist (UIM) coverage. If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance or has no insurance, your own UM/UIM coverage may pay your damages. We investigate all available insurance policies and pursue claims against every responsible party and carrier.
What role does commercial-vehicle data play in a truck-accident claim?
Commercial trucks are subject to federal inspection and maintenance rules, and drivers must maintain detailed logs of hours and rest periods. We obtain trucking-company records, event-data-recorder information, inspection reports, and driver logs to establish whether fatigue, improper maintenance, or driver misconduct caused the collision. These records often prove liability and support higher damages claims.
