Personal Injury Help in Commerce City
McCormick & Murphy are Commerce City personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Commerce City Police Department report, the Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital records, and file in the Adams County Justice Center.
You've been hit by another driver, or you're recovering from a workplace or slip-and-fall injury in Commerce City—and now an insurance adjuster is offering you less than you know you need. We see this pattern often: injury victims are pressured to settle quickly, before they understand the full scope of their medical care or lost income. That's where we come in. We represent Commerce City residents who've been hurt and need lawyers willing to file suit and take cases to trial if an insurer won't pay fairly.
We work from our Denver office to serve Commerce City and the surrounding Adams County region, including Brighton, Thornton, and Northglenn. Commerce City sits along Colorado Highway 2, U.S. Highway 85, and I-76, corridors that see heavy traffic and where collisions happen regularly. If your case proceeds to litigation, it will be handled in Adams County Justice Center. We know these courts and the local injury patterns—from distracted driving near Dick's Sporting Goods Park during events to industrial accidents along the major routes that cut through the area.

High-Risk Roads in and Around Commerce City
Colorado Highway 2 and U.S. Highway 85 are primary routes through Commerce City, handling significant daily traffic. I-76 and 104th Avenue add to the network of corridors where collisions occur. Weather, congestion near Dick's Sporting Goods Park event days, and driver error all contribute to crashes on these roads.
Multi-vehicle pile-ups, rear-end collisions, and intersection accidents are common on these stretches. If you were injured in a crash on any of these roads—whether you were a driver, passenger, or pedestrian—we can investigate the circumstances and determine who bears liability for your injuries.
Traffic around Dick’s Sporting Goods Park can change normal driving patterns when events add congestion to nearby roads.
The Commerce City Police Department responds to traffic collisions and other incidents throughout the city. Police reports document the scene, identify witnesses, and sometimes note citations or violations. We obtain and review these reports as part of building your injury claim. If you were hit by a driver cited for traffic violations, that citation can support your case for compensation.
Medical Care for Commerce City Injury Victims
Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital serves the Commerce City area and Adams County. Many injury victims receive emergency care there after collisions or accidents. Your medical records from Platte Valley Hospital or other providers document your injuries, treatment, and recovery—essential evidence in your claim.
Beyond initial emergency treatment, ongoing care may include physical therapy, specialist consultations, or imaging studies. We work with medical providers to obtain complete records and connect you with treatment providers who understand personal injury cases. Medical documentation of your injuries and the cost of treatment directly supports the compensation you deserve.
Adams County Justice Center and Injury Litigation
The Adams County Justice Center in Brighton handles civil cases, including personal injury lawsuits. If settlement negotiations do not result in fair compensation, we are prepared to file suit and represent you through trial. Many cases resolve before trial, but we always prepare each case as if it will go to court.
Filing deadlines matter in Colorado injury cases. The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury, but some claims have shorter deadlines. We ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe and that all procedural requirements are met to protect your rights.

Commerce City Personal Injury Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Commerce City personal injury lawyers?
Call Commerce City personal injury 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 do you charge for personal injury representation?
We work on contingency: if we don't recover money for you, we don't collect a fee. You pay nothing upfront. When we settle or win your case, our fee comes from the compensation we obtain, so we only succeed when you do.
What is the deadline to file an injury claim in Colorado?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. Some claims, such as those involving government entities, have shorter deadlines. We review your specific situation and ensure your claim is filed within all applicable deadlines.
Should I accept the first settlement offer from an insurance company?
Insurance companies often make initial offers that do not fully account for your long-term medical needs, lost earnings, or pain and suffering. We evaluate whether an offer is fair based on the evidence, comparable cases, and your actual damages. We negotiate aggressively and are ready to take your case to trial if necessary.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Timeline varies. Some cases settle within months; others take a year or more if they proceed to trial. Factors include the complexity of liability, extent of injuries, availability of medical records, and the insurance company's willingness to negotiate. We keep you informed every step.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Colorado follows comparative negligence rules. Even if you were partially at fault, you may recover compensation if the other party was primarily responsible. We investigate thoroughly to establish liability and ensure you receive fair recovery despite any partial fault.
