Loveland auto and truck accident lawyers for crashes on U.S. Highway 34 and Eisenhower Boulevard and across Loveland. Free consultation. No fee unless we recover for you.
How We Build Your Auto Accident Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Loveland auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Loveland Police Department or the Larimer County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies records, and file in the Larimer County Justice Center.
A car or truck accident happens fast. What comes after is methodical. We review the Loveland Police Department and Larimer County Sheriff's Office crash report, interview witnesses, photograph the scene and vehicle damage, and preserve electronic data—including event-data-recorder information from your vehicle and the at-fault driver's truck. We also gather traffic-camera footage and video from nearby businesses. This evidence tells the story of how the collision occurred and who is responsible.
We identify every driver, employer, and insurance policy involved. In commercial-vehicle accidents, we obtain trucking logs, vehicle maintenance records, and inspection reports. We then present your claim to the liable driver's carrier and pursue coverage under your uninsured and underinsured-motorist policies if necessary. Our goal is a full recovery without you bearing the cost of our representation.

Evidence We Investigate and Preserve
The first hours after a collision are critical. Skid marks fade, witnesses disappear, and video is deleted. We move quickly to photograph and measure the accident scene, obtain all available surveillance video, and secure the crash report filed with local law enforcement. We also request electronic data from vehicle event-data recorders, which can show vehicle speed, braking, and steering before impact.
In truck accidents, we subpoena commercial records: driver logs (to show fatigue or speeding), vehicle inspection and maintenance reports, and dispatch records. We depose witnesses and the drivers themselves. We obtain medical and billing records from UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies and other providers you visited. All of this builds a documentary record that demonstrates liability and the full scope of your injuries.
Local investigations may involve Loveland Police Department and Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, evidence from U.S. Highway 34 or Eisenhower Boulevard, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.
Gather and preserve these items after an auto or truck accident in Loveland or Larimer County:
- Crash report filed with Loveland Police Department or Larimer County Sheriff's Office
- Your own photographs and video from the scene
- Photos of vehicle damage to all vehicles involved
- Contact information and statements from all witnesses present
- Insurance information from the other driver(s) or vehicle owner(s)
- Your medical records and bills from UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies or other treatment providers
- Imaging studies (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) showing injury
- Traffic camera or surveillance video from nearby businesses along U.S. Highway 34, Eisenhower Boulevard, Taft Avenue, or I-25
- Event-data-recorder (EDR or "black box") download from your vehicle
- For commercial vehicles: trucking logs, inspection records, and maintenance history
- Copies of all insurance policies covering the vehicles or drivers
- Receipts for repair costs, rental car, and other accident-related expenses
- Communications with insurance adjusters
- Medical records documenting ongoing treatment or permanent injury
Medical Documentation and Damages
Accident injuries are not always obvious at first. Whiplash, concussion, and internal injuries may emerge days or weeks later. We work with your doctors at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies and your own providers to document every injury, treatment, and prognosis. We obtain all imaging, lab work, therapy notes, and surgical records. We also work with medical experts to explain causation and the long-term impact of your injuries.
We track every medical bill, prescription, and out-of-pocket cost. We calculate lost wages, future earning capacity, and the non-economic cost of pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life. This total—combined with evidence of the at-fault driver's conduct—supports a demand or jury verdict that reflects the true cost of the collision.

Loveland Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Loveland auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Loveland auto and truck accident 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.
How long do I have to file a claim after an auto accident in Loveland?
Most motor-vehicle injury claims in Colorado have a three-year deadline from the date of the accident. However, if a public entity or government agency was involved, a written notice of claim may be required in as little as 182 days. Do not wait. Contact a lawyer immediately to protect your rights and meet all deadlines.
What does McCormick & Murphy charge to handle an auto accident claim?
We handle auto and truck accident injury claims on a contingency fee basis. We earn an attorney fee only if we settle your case or win at trial. This means no attorney fee is owed unless there is money recovered. Advanced case costs—such as crash investigation, medical records retrieval, and expert reports—are separate from the contingency fee and are discussed with you before incurring them.
Who can be held responsible in an accident on U.S. Highway 34 or Eisenhower Boulevard in Loveland?
We investigate every responsible party: the other driver, the vehicle owner, the employer if the other vehicle was used for business, a commercial carrier if a truck was involved, or the manufacturer if a defect contributed to the crash. In some cases, multiple parties share liability. We identify all available insurance policies to maximize your recovery.
Why is vehicle data important in truck accidents near Fort Collins and Berthoud?
Commercial trucks and newer cars contain event-data-recorders that capture speed, braking, acceleration, and steering before and after a crash. This electronic evidence is critical to proving how the collision happened. We work quickly to preserve and download this data before it is overwritten or lost.
How do I preserve evidence from an accident scene in Larimer County?
Take photographs and video immediately if you are able: vehicle positions, road conditions, traffic signals, street names, and visible injuries. Obtain contact information from everyone at the scene. Request the crash report from Loveland Police Department or Larimer County Sheriff's Office. Do not move vehicles unless it is unsafe, and do not repair damage until an attorney and adjuster have inspected it. Contact us as soon as possible so we can preserve evidence and interview witnesses.
