Left-Turn and Failure-to-Yield Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Lone Tree left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in Douglas County Justice Center.
Left-turn crashes happen when a driver turns across the path of a motorcyclist who has the right of way. These are negligence cases, and the central question is whether the turning driver failed to yield to a rider who was entitled to proceed. We build the claim around that question.
We do not assume every left-turn crash is automatically the car driver's fault. Lane position, whether the rider signaled, and the rider's speed all factor into how fault gets divided. Insurance adjusters look closely at these details, and so do we.
Colorado's comparative negligence rule can reduce a rider's recovery by their share of fault, and it can bar recovery entirely if the rider's fault is equal to or greater than the other driver's. We work to keep the fault analysis accurate and grounded in the actual facts of the crash.
Building the Case
The point of impact on both vehicles tells us a lot about angle, timing, and who had the right of way. We also look at sight lines at the intersection or driveway, since a driver's view of an oncoming motorcycle can be blocked or clear depending on where the turn happened.
Witness accounts and any available video, from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, or dash cams, help confirm what each driver did in the seconds before impact. We move quickly to identify and preserve this evidence before it disappears.
- Get contact information for any witnesses at the scene
- Photograph the point of impact and final resting positions of both vehicles
- Note the traffic signals, signage, and lane markings at the intersection
- Ask nearby businesses if they have exterior camera footage
- Avoid discussing fault with the other driver's insurer before speaking with us

Lone Tree Left-Turn Motorcycle Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Lone Tree left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Lone Tree 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 automatically. Fault depends on facts like whether the rider had the right of way, the rider's speed, lane position, and whether either driver signaled. We investigate these details before drawing conclusions.
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 be barred if your fault equals or exceeds the other driver's. We push back on inflated fault assessments by insurers using the actual evidence from the scene.
What evidence matters most in these cases?
Point of impact, sight lines at the intersection, witness statements, and any video footage are usually the most important pieces of evidence. We work to gather this before it's lost or forgotten.
Where do these crashes tend to happen in Lone Tree?
We see them along Lincoln Avenue, Yosemite Street, and near C-470 interchanges, as well as in areas connecting to Highlands Ranch and Parker. Intersections with heavy turning traffic are common trouble spots.
