How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Monument fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash near Monument, we investigate it the way we investigate any serious collision: how did it happen, who caused it, and what evidence explains the sequence of events. That negligence investigation is the foundation of any claim that follows, including a wrongful-death claim.
Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring that claim and when. We do not guess at those rules here. If your family is facing this situation, our wrongful-death page walks through who may file and what losses that type of claim is meant to address.
Our role on the fatal-crash side is building the negligence case: reconstructing the collision, identifying the at-fault driver or condition, and documenting how the crash occurred. That work supports the family's claim regardless of which relative ultimately brings it forward.
Evidence in a Fatal Motorcycle Crash
A fatal crash investigation depends on physical evidence collected quickly: the police report, scene photographs, skid marks, vehicle damage, and any available dashcam or surveillance footage from nearby roads. Statements from witnesses who saw the crash near I-25, Colorado Highway 105, or Second Street can also matter before memories fade.
Medical and death records connect the collision to the injuries that caused death, often involving care that began at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs. We work to gather and preserve this evidence early, because a clear account of how the crash happened supports both the negligence claim and any wrongful-death claim the family later pursues.
- The police crash report and any investigator's supplemental findings
- Photos of the scene, both vehicles, and the roadway conditions
- Contact information for witnesses near the crash location
- Medical and hospital records related to the fatal injuries
- Any available video from traffic cameras or nearby businesses

Who can file a wrongful-death claim after a fatal motorcycle crash in Colorado?
Colorado wrongful-death law controls who is eligible to file, and it depends on the family's specific circumstances. We don't guess at that here. Our wrongful-death page explains the general framework, and we can walk through your family's situation directly.
Is a fatal motorcycle crash claim different from a regular injury claim?
The investigation into how the crash happened is similar, but a death changes what the claim seeks to address and who has the right to bring it. That's why fatal crashes often involve both a negligence investigation and a separate wrongful-death claim.
What if the crash happened on I-25 or Highway 105 near Monument?
We look at the specific roadway, traffic conditions, and any contributing factors at that location. Highway crashes often involve higher speeds and multiple vehicles, which makes early evidence collection especially important.
