Who's at Fault When Accounts Conflict
McCormick & Murphy are Greenwood Village intersection accident lawyers for people hurt in Greenwood Village. We get the Greenwood Village Police Department report, the HCA HealthONE Swedish or Sky Ridge Medical Center records, and file in Arapahoe County Justice Center.
Intersection crashes often come down to two drivers telling different stories. One says the light was green. The other says it was yellow or already red. Someone claims they had the right of way at a stop sign; the other driver swears they stopped first. We don't rely on who sounds more convincing. We build the case on physical and recorded evidence that shows what actually happened.
These crashes happen in a range of settings: a left-turning driver misjudging oncoming traffic, a driver running a stop sign at an uncontrolled intersection, a rear-end at a signal that then pushes a car into cross traffic, or a pedestrian or cyclist struck in a crosswalk. Each pattern points investigators toward different evidence and different theories of fault. We identify which pattern fits your crash early so we know what to preserve.
Colorado allows recovery even when a claimant shares some fault, as long as that fault isn't greater than the other party's. That matters in intersection cases because insurers frequently try to split blame fifty-fifty when the evidence doesn't support it. We push back on those assignments with documentation, not just argument.
Building the Case With Objective Evidence
Signal phasing records, traffic-camera footage, and nearby business security video can show which car had the light or who entered the intersection first. Lane markings and the final resting position of each vehicle help establish the direction and force of travel. Vehicle damage patterns, including where each car was struck, often tell us more about speed and angle than either driver's memory does.
We also look at sight obstructions, like parked vehicles, signage, or landscaping that may have blocked a driver's view, and we gather witness accounts before memories fade. When a vehicle has event data recording capability, that information can confirm speed, braking, and throttle input in the seconds before impact. Police reports from Greenwood Village Police Department are a starting point, but we don't treat them as the final word; our own investigation fills in what the report leaves out.
- Photograph the intersection, signals, signage, and vehicle positions before anything moves
- Get contact information for every witness, not just the ones who approach you
- Request any available traffic-camera or nearby business video promptly
- Keep records of medical care tied to the crash
- Avoid agreeing to a fault percentage with an insurer before we've reviewed the evidence

Greenwood Village Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
The other driver says I ran the light. What if it's my word against theirs?
We don't rely on conflicting statements alone. Signal timing data, camera footage, witness accounts, and vehicle damage patterns often resolve these disputes with objective evidence rather than competing claims.
What if I was partly at fault for entering the intersection?
Colorado law allows you to recover damages as long as your share of fault isn't greater than the other driver's. We work to make sure fault is assigned accurately based on evidence, not assumption.
Is there traffic-camera footage of my crash?
It depends on the intersection and whether nearby signals or businesses have cameras covering the area. We move quickly to identify and request any available footage before it's deleted or overwritten.
I was hit while turning left. Does that automatically make me at fault?
Not necessarily. Left-turn crashes depend on signal timing, whether the other driver was speeding or ran a stale yellow or red, and sight line conditions. We investigate the specific facts rather than assume fault based on the turn itself.
What should I do before talking to the insurance company?
Gather photos, witness contacts, and any available video before details fade or footage is lost. Speak with us first so we can help you avoid agreeing to a fault split that isn't supported by the evidence.
