Centennial Left-Turn Motorcycle Lawyers Serving Arapahoe County
McCormick & Murphy are Centennial left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in Arapahoe County Justice Center.
A left-turn crash happens when a driver turns across the path of a rider who had the right of way. These are negligence cases. The core question is whether the turning driver failed to yield to a motorcyclist who was already close enough to be a hazard, or whether the driver misjudged the rider's speed or distance.
We do not assume every left-turn crash is automatically the car driver's fault. The rider's lane position, signal use, and speed still matter. Insurance adjusters look closely at these details, and so do we, before we tell a client how strong a claim looks.
These crashes are common at intersections along Arapahoe Road and University Boulevard, where left-turning traffic crosses oncoming lanes and a rider can be hard to spot until it's too late. We build the claim around who actually had the right of way and why the other driver missed it.
What We Preserve To Prove Fault In A Left-Turn Claim
The point of impact tells a lot about who was where. Combine that with sight-line analysis showing what each driver could and couldn't see, and you start to get a real picture of fault. We also look at whether anything blocked the driver's view of the oncoming rider.
Witness accounts and video, when available, help confirm speed, signal use, and timing. We gather this evidence early because memories fade and traffic footage doesn't sit around forever. The sooner we're involved, the more of it we can preserve.
- Get medical care and follow through on treatment
- Photograph the intersection, both vehicles, and the point of impact
- Get contact information for any witnesses at the scene
- Note traffic signals, signage, and any obstructions to sight lines
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before talking to us

Centennial sits along a busy stretch of the metro area, with I-25 and E-470 funneling traffic through intersections near Arapahoe Road, University Boulevard, and Greenwood Village. Left-turn crashes tend to cluster at signalized intersections where turning drivers misjudge an oncoming rider's speed or don't see the motorcycle at all in a gap between cars.
Riders hurt in these crashes are often taken to AdventHealth Littleton. If a claim moves into litigation, it's typically filed at the Arapahoe County Justice Center. We handle the legal work locally so clients can focus on recovering.

What Centennial Riders Ask After A Left-Turn Crash
Do I need Centennial left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Centennial 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 facts like whether the rider had the right of way, how fast the rider was going, and whether the rider's lane position was clear and visible. We look at all of it before drawing conclusions.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Colorado's comparative negligence rule can reduce your recovery by your share of fault. If your share is equal to or greater than the other driver's, you can be barred from recovering. We evaluate fault carefully before estimating what a claim is worth.
What if there's no traffic camera footage?
We still build the case using the point of impact, witness statements, and sight-line analysis. Physical evidence and witness accounts often carry a claim even without video.
Where do these crashes tend to happen in Centennial?
We see them at busy signalized intersections along Arapahoe Road and University Boulevard, and near access points to E-470 and I-25. Turning traffic and gaps between vehicles make it easy to miss an oncoming rider.
What should I do right after a left-turn crash?
Get medical attention and get photos of the intersection, the vehicles, and the point of impact if you're able. Get witness contact information, and hold off on giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer until you've spoken with us.
