Centennial Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers
Centennial auto and truck accident lawyers for crashes on E-470 and Arapahoe Road and across Centennial. Free consultation. No fee unless we recover for you.
How We Build Your Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Centennial auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office report, the AdventHealth Littleton records, and file in the Arapahoe County Justice Center.
We start by gathering the crash report from law enforcement and photographing the scene and vehicle damage. We obtain all available video—traffic cameras, business surveillance, dashcam footage, and event-data-recorder information from modern vehicles. We interview witnesses while their memory is clear, and we collect statements from the at-fault driver's employer if a commercial vehicle or truck is involved.
Next, we identify every insurance policy that may cover your losses: the other driver's liability policy, your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and any commercial or trucking-company policies. We document the driver's conduct—distraction, impairment, speeding, traffic violations—and we link that conduct to your injuries. We then present a detailed demand to each carrier, backed by evidence of liability and the full scope of your damages.

Evidence We Pursue in Centennial and Arapahoe County Accidents
Centennial and surrounding areas including Greenwood Village, Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, and Lone Tree generate crash reports through the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. We obtain those reports and combine them with scene photographs, vehicle-damage analysis, and any available traffic-camera or business video. Modern vehicles record impact data; we subpoena that electronic information to show speed, braking, and steering at the moment of collision.
For commercial and truck accidents, we gather trucking logs, vehicle-inspection records, maintenance histories, and dispatch communications. We review the driver's qualification file and any prior safety violations. We collect witness accounts, medical records from AdventHealth Littleton and other providers, and police reports of any citations or violations. All of this evidence flows into a comprehensive demand presented to liability carriers and uninsured-motorist insurers.
Local investigations may involve Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, evidence from E-470 or Arapahoe Road, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.
Gather and preserve the following materials after a motor-vehicle collision:
- Crash report from Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office or local police

- Details about the collision location on E-470, Arapahoe Road, University Boulevard, or I-25
Medical Documentation and Causation
Injuries from auto and truck accidents often include whiplash, back injury, fracture, head trauma, and soft-tissue damage. We work with your medical providers to ensure treatment records clearly document the accident as the cause of your condition. We obtain imaging studies, diagnostic test results, and expert medical opinions linking your injuries to the collision.
We coordinate with AdventHealth Littleton and all emergency and follow-up providers to build a clear medical timeline. We ensure that every treatment note, therapy record, and specialist opinion is available to the insurance carriers. This documentation supports both past medical expenses and ongoing or future medical needs as part of your damages claim.

Centennial Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Centennial auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Centennial 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 after a motor-vehicle accident in Centennial?
Most Colorado injury claims arising from motor-vehicle accidents have a three-year deadline from the date of injury. However, shorter deadlines may apply. If a public entity (such as a government agency or public-entity vehicle) was involved, you may be required to provide written notice of your claim in as little as 182 days. Do not delay; contact an attorney promptly to ensure all deadlines are met.
What happens if the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance?
Colorado law requires most drivers to carry liability insurance. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own uninsured/underinsured-motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering up to your policy limits. We investigate all available insurance policies and pursue every coverage source.
Should I sign an early settlement offer from an insurance company?
No. Initial settlement offers often undervalue your claim. Before accepting anything, consult an attorney. Your medical condition may worsen, and you may not yet know the full extent of your injuries or lost income. We investigate the collision thoroughly, document all damages, and negotiate with the liable and uninsured/underinsured-motorist carriers to maximize your recovery.
How does McCormick & Murphy charge for an auto-accident case?
We handle injury claims on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fee unless we settle your case or win it in court. You are responsible for advanced case costs—such as expert fees, court filing fees, and medical-record requests—separate from the attorney fee. We discuss all costs upfront.
What if the accident involved a commercial truck or fleet vehicle?
Commercial-truck and fleet-vehicle accidents often involve additional evidence: electronic logbooks, vehicle inspection records, maintenance logs, and company safety practices. We investigate the trucking company, the driver's training and conduct, and the carrier's insurance. These claims may yield larger settlements because commercial entities typically carry substantial insurance coverage.
