Serving Fort Carson and El Paso County With Trial-Ready Representation
McCormick & Murphy are Fort Carson personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Military Police or the El Paso County Sheriff's Office report, the Evans Army Community Hospital records, and file in the El Paso County Combined Courts.
If you've been hurt in a crash on U.S. Highway 85, Nelson Boulevard, or near Gate 20, or suffered injury on Fort Carson property, you need a lawyer who understands both military procedure and civilian negligence claims. Insurance adjusters—especially those working for the military or third-party carriers—often lowball injury settlements or deny claims outright because the case involves post property or military personnel. We won't file a quick release or accept a fraction of what you're owed. Kirk McCormick and James Murphy have led our Colorado trial team since 1990, and Kirk and Jay previously represented insurers; they know how claims adjusters think and how to make them pay full value when they refuse to settle fairly.
Our Colorado Springs office serves Fort Carson, Fountain, Security-Widefield, and communities along I-25 and Highway 85. We handle both on-post incidents (coordinating with Evans Army Community Hospital and military medical records) and off-post collisions that involve military personnel or arise from Fort Carson access roads. Cases proceed through El Paso County Combined Courts when private liability exists, and we navigate federal forums when required by military claims procedure.

Why Are U.S. Highway 85 and Nelson Boulevard So Dangerous for Drivers?
U.S. Highway 85 carries heavy traffic between Fountain and Security-Widefield, with frequent merges, turning conflicts, and speeding crashes near Fort Carson's southern approaches. Nelson Boulevard and the corridors around Gate 20 and Chiles Avenue are high-volume routes where visibility problems, failure to yield, and multi-vehicle incidents cause serious injuries.
We investigate every collision on these corridors—photo evidence, witness statements, police reports, traffic camera footage, and expert reconstruction when liability is unclear. If the at-fault driver or property owner has insurance, we pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and permanent injury costs.
Fort Carson injury claims can involve on-post and off-post crashes, premises incidents, and third-party liability. We coordinate with military medical records and applicable civilian courts when a private claim is available.
Fort Carson accidents may be reported to Military Police if they occur on post, or to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and Colorado Springs Police for off-post events. Reports are filed separately depending on location and parties involved. We obtain all police and incident reports, interview responding officers, and coordinate with military medical and investigative records when the injured person is military-connected. Third-party civilian claims move through El Paso County Combined Courts.

Records From Evans Army Community Hospital and UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central
Evans Army Community Hospital and UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central serve Fort Carson and the greater Colorado Springs area. If you're treated at either facility after a crash or injury, request copies of all records, imaging, lab work, and provider notes immediately. Military medical records require specific release forms; we handle that paperwork.
Do not accept a settlement offer or sign a liability waiver before consulting us. Medical documentation—emergency reports, doctor notes, physical therapy records, and specialist evaluations—proves the full scope of your injury and justifies compensation for ongoing care, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

Clear Answers on Fort Carson Injury Claims
Do I need Fort Carson personal injury lawyers?
Call Fort Carson personal injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Colorado Springs office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on contingency: you pay no fee unless we win or settle your case. We cover costs (records, experts, filing fees) as well, deducted only from your recovery. You never pay out of pocket.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury. Military claims may have different deadlines; we review your specific situation and file before the deadline expires.
Can I sue the military or Fort Carson directly?
Generally, the Federal Tort Claims Act limits lawsuits against the military, but third-party negligence claims (another driver, a private contractor, or a civilian business on base) may be viable. We evaluate all options and pursue every responsible party.
What if the insurance company offers a settlement?
Do not accept without speaking to us first. Adjusters often undervalue claims, especially those involving military personnel or post property. We negotiate aggressively and are prepared to try the case if they refuse fair value.
Will my case go to trial?
Most settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried. Our willingness and ability to go to court gives us leverage in settlement negotiations. You decide the final offer.
