How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Loveland fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in Larimer County Justice Center.
When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash, we start where any negligence case starts: figuring out how the collision happened. That means looking at what the other driver did or failed to do, how the roadway was set up, and what the physical evidence shows about speed, position, and point of impact.
A fatal crash claim is still built on the same negligence principles as any other motorcycle case, but the stakes and the people involved are different. The family is grieving while also trying to understand what happened on Eisenhower Boulevard, Taft Avenue, U.S. Highway 34, or wherever the crash occurred, and they need answers before they can think about a claim.
Colorado wrongful-death law controls who is allowed to bring a claim after a fatal crash and what that claim can address. We don't guess at those rules here. Our wrongful-death page explains who may file and what losses that type of claim covers, and we walk Loveland families through those specifics directly when we talk.
Building the Record After a Fatal Crash
In a fatal motorcycle case, the physical scene often has to speak for the rider. We work to secure police reports, scene photos, vehicle data, and witness accounts before they're lost, since these crashes are frequently reconstructed well after the fact using whatever evidence was preserved early.
Medical and treatment records also matter, including any care provided at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies, because they help establish the sequence of events and the extent of the injuries suffered. We gather this information carefully and treat every family's situation with the seriousness it deserves.
- Police and crash reconstruction reports
- Photos or video from the crash scene
- Names and contact information for witnesses
- Medical records from treating hospitals
- The motorcycle and any protective gear involved
