Personal Injury Help in Greeley and Weld County
McCormick & Murphy are Greeley personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Greeley Police Department report, the Banner North Colorado Medical Center records, and file in the Weld County Combined Courts.
You were hit on U.S. Highway 34 or 85, or maybe on 10th Street or 47th Avenue here in Greeley. Now the insurance adjuster is lowballing your claim, and you're facing medical bills, lost wages, and pain that won't quit. We file suit when adjusters won't budge. We know Weld County's courts, we know how juries here respond to injury cases, and we know the tactics insurers use to minimize what you're owed.
We work from our Denver office to serve Greeley, Evans, Windsor, Milliken, and the surrounding Weld County communities. Cases get filed in Weld County Combined Courts. Banner North Colorado Medical Center is where many of our clients receive care after their injuries. We work on contingency—you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect if we recover for you.

Common Injury Routes in and Around Greeley
U.S. Highway 34 runs east-west and handles substantial commercial and commuter traffic. U.S. Highway 85 runs north-south, linking Greeley to Evans, Windsor, and points beyond. Collisions on these corridors often involve tractor-trailers, distracted drivers, and speed-related factors. 10th Street and 47th Avenue carry local and regional traffic and are frequent sites of intersection crashes, rear-end collisions, and pedestrian incidents.
We've handled injury claims arising from accidents on all of these roadways. We work with accident reconstructionists, obtain police reports from the Greeley Police Department and Weld County Sheriff's Office, and gather evidence to establish liability. Early investigation is critical; road conditions, traffic signals, and witness accounts can disappear quickly.
Police reports are often the first official record of an accident. The Greeley Police Department handles incidents within city limits, while the Weld County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas and highways. We request these reports promptly and review them for officer observations, witness statements, citations, and preliminary fault determinations. We also file records requests to obtain dispatch records, dashcam or body camera footage, and any follow-up investigation materials that may strengthen your claim.
Medical Care and Documentation in Greeley
Banner North Colorado Medical Center is the primary acute-care facility serving Greeley and Weld County. If you're transported there by ambulance or arrive by private vehicle after a crash, that emergency record becomes a critical part of your injury history. Document every visit—ER intake, imaging, lab work, and initial diagnoses all establish the baseline of your injuries.
Don't stop at the emergency room. Follow up with your primary care physician, specialists, physical therapists, and any other providers who treat you. Gaps in care can be used against you in settlement negotiations. Keep records of all bills, insurance explanations of benefits, and out-of-pocket costs. We help you organize this medical evidence and connect it to your lost wages and other damages.
Weld County Combined Courts and Litigation
If settlement discussions stall, your case may proceed to litigation in Weld County Combined Courts. We have tried cases in this courthouse and know the local judges, court rules, and typical timelines. Discovery can take six months to a year; trial preparation requires detailed witness and expert coordination. We prepare you for deposition and courtroom testimony.
We also handle mediations and settlement conferences. Many cases resolve before trial, but we always prepare as if we're going to trial. That readiness often leads to better settlement offers because opposing counsel knows we won't accept lowball proposals.

Greeley Personal Injury Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Greeley personal injury lawyers?
Call Greeley 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.
Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on contingency. You pay us a percentage of the recovery only if we obtain a settlement or jury award. If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing. This aligns our interests with yours.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Colorado law generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, waiting too long makes it harder to gather evidence, locate witnesses, and build a strong case. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible after your accident.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
Colorado requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, but some don't. If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, your own insurance may cover your losses. We file claims against all potential sources of recovery and negotiate on your behalf.
Can I still have a case if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Colorado applies comparative negligence, meaning you can recover even if you're partially responsible—as long as you're less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We investigate the full circumstances to minimize any finding of shared liability.
How long does it usually take to resolve a case?
Simple claims may settle within a few months. More serious injuries with significant medical treatment often take one to two years, depending on the complexity and whether litigation is necessary. We keep you informed every step of the way.
