How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Fountain fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash, we start by investigating the collision itself: how it happened, who was involved, and what each driver did or failed to do. That negligence investigation is the foundation of the claim, whether the crash happened on Mesa Ridge Parkway, Fountain Mesa Road, U.S. Highway 85, or elsewhere in the area.
A death in a motorcycle crash can connect to a Colorado wrongful-death claim. Colorado law controls who is eligible to bring that kind of claim and what it can address, and we do not guess at those rules here. We walk families through those specifics directly, based on their situation.
If you are trying to understand who in your family may be able to file a wrongful-death claim after a fatal motorcycle crash in Fountain, our wrongful-death page covers who may file and what losses that claim addresses. This page focuses on the crash investigation itself and how it fits into the larger picture.
Building the Crash Investigation
Fatal motorcycle crashes deserve a full look at how the collision occurred. That means examining the crash scene, vehicle positions, road conditions, and any witness accounts from the area, whether the crash happened near Colorado Springs, Security-Widefield, or along one of Fountain's main corridors. We also look at police reports and any available physical evidence tied to the vehicles involved.
Medical records connected to care at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs, or wherever treatment occurred, can also matter to understanding the sequence of events. We gather what is available early, because details fade and evidence can disappear the longer a case sits unaddressed.
- Police reports and crash investigation records
- Photos of the crash scene, vehicles, and roadway
- Contact information for any witnesses
- Medical and treatment records tied to the crash
- Insurance correspondence related to the collision
