Determining Liability After a Crash on I-25, Highway 165, or Cuerno Verde Road
McCormick & Murphy are Colorado City auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Parkview Medical Center records, and file in the Pueblo County Combined Courts.
When a crash happens on Colorado Highway 165, Cuerno Verde Road, or I-25 near Colorado City, the immediate question is liability. We investigate the collision scene, review the crash report filed by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office or Colorado State Patrol, and interview witnesses. We identify every driver or company whose conduct contributed to the accident—whether it was rear-end negligence, an intersection violation, distracted or impaired driving, or a commercial truck's unsafe operation.
Our investigation does not stop at fault. We locate and analyze every applicable insurance policy: the at-fault driver's liability coverage, your own uninsured- or underinsured-motorist policy, and any commercial or fleet coverage if a truck was involved. We document the sequence of events, preserve evidence, and build a record that reflects exactly how the collision occurred and who bears responsibility.

Securing Black-Box Data, Crash Reports, and UCHealth Parkview Medical Records
Physical evidence is the foundation. We obtain vehicle damage photographs and estimates, review the crash report's diagrams and citations, and request traffic-camera or business video from nearby properties. If the accident involved a commercial truck, we subpoena electronic data-recorder information (black-box data), trucking logs, vehicle maintenance and inspection records, and dispatch communications. We also collect witness statements and police notes to establish the driver's speed, actions, and awareness before impact.
We coordinate with UCHealth Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo and other treatment providers to obtain medical records, imaging, diagnostic tests, and clinical notes that link your injuries to the collision. Event-data-recorder downloads and vehicle telematics are often critical in proving that the other driver was speeding, braking late, or traveling on the shoulder. All of this evidence is organized and presented to the carrier as we prepare settlement negotiations or trial.
Local investigations may involve Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, evidence from Colorado Highway 165 or Cuerno Verde Road, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.
Colorado City sits along I-25 south of Pueblo in Pueblo County. Highway crashes and local injury claims are often investigated by the Sheriff’s Office or Colorado State Patrol and venued in Pueblo County Combined Courts.
A strong auto or truck accident claim rests on evidence that shows what happened, who was at fault, and how you were harmed. Here is what we collect and review:
- Crash report filed with Pueblo County Sheriff's Office or Colorado State Patrol
- Photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and final positions at the scene
- Medical records and imaging from UCHealth Parkview Medical Center or other treatment providers
- Witness statements and contact information from people who saw the collision
- Electronic data from event-data recorders (black boxes) in modern vehicles
- Traffic camera or nearby business video footage from the crash location
- Insurance policies—liability, uninsured motorist, and underinsured motorist coverage
- Commercial records if a truck, delivery, or rideshare vehicle was involved
- Trucking logs, maintenance records, and vehicle inspection reports for commercial claims
- Driver conduct history, citations, and prior claims information
- Cell phone records or dispatch data if distraction or impairment is suspected
- Expert analysis of vehicle damage, collision dynamics, and causation
The sooner we gather this evidence, the better—witnesses move, video is deleted, and memories fade.
Get Evaluated at UCHealth Parkview Medical Center Right After Your Crash
After an auto or truck accident, immediate medical evaluation is essential. Injuries from rear-end or high-impact collisions often include cervical and lumbar strain, whiplash, soft-tissue damage, fractures, and traumatic brain injury. We ensure that your medical providers document the injury mechanism, your symptoms, clinical findings, and treatment response. UCHealth Parkview Medical Center records and records from local urgent-care providers become part of your case file and support damage calculations.
We also work with your physicians to obtain medical opinions about causation, prognosis, and any permanent impairment or restrictions. Some injuries heal quickly; others require ongoing physical therapy, injections, or surgery. We track all costs, missed wages, and functional limitations so that the liability carrier understands the full scope of your recovery needs and our demand reflects the true economic and non-economic impact of the accident.

What We Pursue for Colorado City Crash Victims: Medical Expenses and Other Losses
- Medical expenses: ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, imaging, and specialist care at UCHealth Parkview or other facilities.
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity: time away from work during recovery and, if applicable, reduced income due to permanent injury.
- Pain and suffering: physical pain, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life resulting from the collision and your injuries.
- Property damage: repair or fair market value of your vehicle, rental car costs, and personal property destroyed in the accident.
- Uninsured- or underinsured-motorist coverage: if the at-fault driver's liability limit is insufficient, your own UIM policy often covers additional damages.
- Punitive damages: in cases involving drunk driving, reckless commercial conduct, or hit-and-run behavior, Pueblo County Combined Courts may allow enhanced damages.
Pueblo County Combined Courts recognizes economic and non-economic damages in motor-vehicle injury cases, and we position each claim to recover the full measure of your loss.

What if the other driver does not have insurance or their policy limits are too low?
Your own uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can protect you. We review your policy and any household policies to identify all available coverage, and we pursue these claims as aggressively as we would a third-party liability case.
