How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash
McCormick & Murphy are Greeley fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in Weld County Combined Courts.
When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash, we start by investigating how the collision happened. That means looking closely at the roadway, the vehicles involved, and the actions of every driver in the moments before impact. The goal is to build a clear, evidence-based account of the negligence that caused the crash.
A death in a motorcycle collision often connects to a wrongful-death claim under Colorado law. Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring that claim and what it can address, and we do not guess or assume which family member has the right to file. We walk families through how that process works and how it relates to the underlying negligence claim from the crash itself.
If your family has lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash near Greeley, we encourage you to also review our wrongful-death page, which explains who may file a claim and what losses it can cover. Here, our focus is on the crash investigation and the negligence case that supports it.
Building the Crash Investigation
In a fatal crash, evidence can be scattered across law enforcement reports, roadway conditions, vehicle damage, and witness accounts. We move quickly to gather what we can from the scene, from responding agencies, and from anyone who saw what happened. The earlier we're involved, the more we can preserve before it's lost or altered.
We also look at physical evidence tied to the motorcycle and the other vehicle, along with any available surveillance or dashcam footage from the area. Every fatal crash is different, and we tailor our investigation to the specific roadway and circumstances involved, whether that's a busy intersection or a stretch of highway near Greeley.
- Any police report or case number from the crash
- Photos of the crash scene, vehicles, or roadway if available
- Contact information for any witnesses
- Insurance information for all vehicles involved
- Medical or hospital records connected to the crash
