Greeley Left-Turn Motorcycle Crashes On U.S. 34 And U.S. 85
McCormick & Murphy are Greeley left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in Weld County Combined Courts.
A left-turn crash happens when a driver turns across a rider's path instead of waiting for the rider to clear the intersection. These are negligence cases, and the core question is whether the turning driver failed to yield to a rider who had the right of way at the time.
We do not assume the car driver is automatically at fault just because they were turning. We look closely at where the motorcycle was positioned in the lane, whether the rider had a working headlight or signal, and how fast the rider was traveling before we take a position on liability.
Corridors like 47th Avenue and U.S. Highway 34 in Greeley see a steady mix of turning traffic, commercial vehicles, and riders passing through. When a driver turns left in front of a motorcycle at one of these locations, we build the case around who actually had the right of way and whether the turn was made safely.
Preserving Point Of Impact And Sight-Line Evidence Near 10th Street
The point of impact tells us a lot about who was where when the turn began. We also look at sight lines from the turning driver's position, since a blocked view, a parked vehicle, or a curve in the road can affect whether the driver could see the motorcycle approaching.
Witness accounts and any available video from nearby businesses or traffic cameras help fill in details that physical evidence alone cannot show, such as how fast each vehicle was moving or whether a signal was used. The sooner we gather this evidence, the better our chances of preserving it before it disappears.
- Get contact information for any witnesses at the scene
- Note the exact intersection or roadway location, such as a cross street near 10th Street
- Take photos of vehicle positions and any skid marks before they fade
- Keep records from any treatment received, including at Banner North Colorado Medical Center
- Avoid discussing fault with the other driver's insurance company before speaking with us

Your Greeley Left-Turn Motorcycle Crash Questions, Answered
Do I need Greeley left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Greeley left-turn motorcycle lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is in Denver, CO.
Is the car driver always at fault in a left-turn crash?
Not always. While a turning driver often bears significant responsibility, we still examine the rider's lane position, speed, and signal use before reaching a conclusion. Each case depends on its specific facts.
How does comparative negligence affect my claim?
Colorado law can reduce your recovery by your share of fault in the crash. If your share of fault is found to be as great as or greater than the other driver's, it can bar recovery entirely. We work to minimize any fault attributed to you by building a strong evidentiary record.
What if there were no witnesses to the crash?
We still look at physical evidence like point of impact, vehicle damage patterns, and sight lines from the turning driver's position. Video from nearby businesses or traffic cameras can also help even without eyewitnesses.
Where would my case be filed if it goes to court?
Cases arising in Greeley are generally filed in Weld County Combined Courts. We handle the filing and court process so you can focus on recovery.
What should I do right after a left-turn crash?
Get medical attention, document the scene with photos if you're able, and gather witness contact information. Avoid making statements about fault to insurance adjusters until you've spoken with us.
