Superior auto and truck accident lawyers for crashes on U.S. Highway 36 and McCaslin Boulevard and across Superior. Free consultation. No fee unless we recover for you.
How We Build Your Auto or Truck Accident Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Superior auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Boulder County Sheriff's Office report, the AdventHealth Avista records, and file in the Boulder County Justice Center.
We start by determining exactly what happened. We obtain the crash report filed with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, photograph the scene and vehicle damage, collect traffic-camera or business surveillance video, and interview witnesses. For commercial trucks, we pull inspection records, trucking logs, and maintenance files to show whether the carrier or driver failed to maintain the vehicle or comply with safety rules. For all vehicles, we retrieve electronic data from the collision—event-data-recorder information that captures speed, braking, and steering in the seconds before impact.
Once we know how the collision occurred, we identify every responsible party: the at-fault driver, the vehicle owner, the trucking company, the employer, or the rideshare platform. We then file claims with the at-fault driver's liability insurer and, if you are underinsured or hit by an uninsured motorist, we pursue your own uninsured and underinsured-motorist coverage. We present the evidence of fault and the medical documentation of your injuries to secure the maximum recovery.

Evidence We Gather and Use
Vehicle damage, witness statements, and driver conduct tell the story of a collision. We document how the impact occurred—whether one driver failed to yield, was speeding, was distracted, or was impaired. We obtain photographs from emergency responders and the scene, subpoena traffic-camera footage from intersections along U.S. Highway 36, McCaslin Boulevard, Marshall Road, and Rock Creek Parkway, and retrieve business surveillance video from nearby properties.
For commercial trucks, we examine inspection records, maintenance logs, and trucking company policies to show negligence or recklessness. We obtain event-data-recorder information (the truck's "black box") that proves speed and braking patterns. We also collect insurance policies from every source—the at-fault driver's liability coverage, your own underinsured-motorist policy, commercial general liability, and hired-and-non-owned-vehicle coverage. This comprehensive evidence is presented to the Boulder County Justice Center if litigation becomes necessary.
Local investigations may involve Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, evidence from U.S. Highway 36 or McCaslin Boulevard, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.
Gather and preserve this evidence after a collision on U.S. Highway 36, McCaslin Boulevard, Marshall Road, Rock Creek Parkway, or other Superior-area roads:
- Crash report from Boulder County Sheriff's Office
- Photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, and final positions
- Scene photographs including street signs, traffic signals, and skid marks
- Names, phone numbers, and written statements from all witnesses
- Driver license and insurance information from all drivers
- Medical records and bills from AdventHealth Avista in Louisville or other treatment providers
- Traffic camera or business video from nearby properties
- Cell phone records if distracted driving is involved
- Event-data-recorder (black box) information from any vehicle
- Trucking logs, inspection records, and maintenance records if a commercial vehicle was involved
- Photos of injuries and follow-up medical documentation
- Dispatch recordings or 911 call recordings
- Insurance policy declarations pages for all parties
- Proof of lost income or wage statements if injuries caused time away from work
- Any communications with insurance adjusters or other drivers
Medical Documentation and Your Injury Claim
Injuries from auto and truck accidents range from minor soft-tissue damage to severe fractures, spinal injury, traumatic brain injury, and fatality. We obtain your medical records from AdventHealth Avista in Louisville and other treating facilities, review imaging (X-rays, CT scans, MRI), and gather reports from your physicians and specialists. We document every treatment, prescription, therapy session, and ongoing symptom to prove the scope and cost of your medical care.
We work with medical experts to establish causation—that your injuries were caused by the collision, not a pre-existing condition. We calculate past and future medical expenses, including surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, mental-health treatment, and long-term care. These figures, combined with evidence of lost wages and quality-of-life impact, form the foundation of your demand to the insurance carriers.

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.

Superior Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Superior auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Superior 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 long do I have to file a claim for a Superior auto accident?
Most motor-vehicle injury claims in Colorado have a three-year window from the date of the accident. However, if a public entity (such as Boulder County) was involved, you may need to file written notice of the claim within 182 days. Other exceptions can shorten this timeline. Contact our Denver office right away to protect your rights.
What happens if the other driver does not have insurance?
Colorado law requires you to carry uninsured-motorist coverage. If the at-fault driver has no insurance, we file a claim against your own uninsured-motorist policy. We investigate the other driver's conduct, document your injuries, and present the evidence to your carrier—just as we would with a traditional liability claim.
Should I give a statement to the other driver's insurance company?
Do not give a statement without first consulting your own attorney. The other driver's insurer may use anything you say against your claim. We recommend documenting what you remember, gathering evidence at the scene, and calling our office before you speak to any adjuster.
How much do your services cost?
We handle auto and truck accident claims on a contingency fee, which means McCormick & Murphy earns an attorney fee only if your case is settled or won. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Any advanced case costs—such as investigation, expert reports, or court filing fees—are separate and will be discussed with you upfront.
What if the accident involved a commercial truck on U.S. Highway 36 or nearby roads?
Commercial truck accidents require specialized investigation. We obtain trucking logs, vehicle-maintenance records, inspection reports, and the truck's event-data-recorder information. We identify the trucking company, its employer, and any third parties responsible for inadequate maintenance or driver supervision. Every available insurance policy is examined to maximize your recovery.
