Left-Turn and Failure-to-Yield Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Littleton left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way.
A left-turn crash happens when a driver turns across a rider's path instead of yielding the right of way. These are negligence cases. The core question is whether the turning driver failed to yield to a rider who had the right to proceed, and whether that failure caused the collision.
We do not assume every left-turn crash is the car driver's fault. Lane position, whether the rider signaled, and the rider's speed all matter and get examined closely. Insurers for the turning driver will often argue the rider was speeding, lane-splitting, or otherwise contributed to the crash, and we prepare for that argument from the start.
Colorado comparative negligence can reduce a rider's recovery by their share of fault, and it can bar recovery entirely when the rider's fault is equal to or greater than the other driver's. That makes an honest, early assessment of fault important in every left-turn case we take on.
Building the Left-Turn Case
The point of impact on both vehicles tells us a great deal about angle, speed, and who had the right of way. We also look at sight lines at the intersection or driveway where the crash happened, since obstructed views change how a left-turn case gets argued.
Witness accounts and any available video, including nearby traffic or business cameras, help establish what each driver actually did in the moments before impact. We move quickly to identify and preserve this evidence before it disappears or gets overwritten.
- Photos of both vehicles' final positions and damage
- Contact information for anyone who saw the turn happen
- Any dashcam, helmet-cam, or nearby surveillance footage
- The responding officer's report and case number
- Records from your medical treatment following the crash

Littleton Left-Turn Motorcycle Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Littleton left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Littleton 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. Fault depends on who had the right of way, whether the rider was speeding or in an unusual lane position, and what the sight lines looked like at that location. We evaluate each case on its own facts rather than assuming fault.
What if the insurance company says I was partly at fault?
Colorado allows your recovery to be reduced by your share of fault, and it can bar recovery if your fault is equal to or greater than the other driver's. That is why we push back on inflated fault claims and gather evidence that shows what actually happened.
What evidence matters most in these cases?
Point of impact, sight lines at the intersection, witness statements, and video footage are usually the most persuasive evidence. We work to identify and secure this evidence as early as possible.
Where do these cases get filed?
Left-turn injury claims from the Littleton area are typically filed in the district court for the county where the crash occurred, which may be Arapahoe, Jefferson, or Douglas County depending on location.
