Left-Turn Motorcycle Crashes In Monument
McCormick & Murphy are Monument left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
Left-turn crashes are negligence cases. The core question is whether the driver making the turn failed to yield to a rider who had the right of way at the time.
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 assigned.
Our job is to reconstruct exactly what happened at the moment the driver turned across the rider's path, using the physical and testimonial evidence available, and to build a claim around who actually had the right of way.
Evidence That Shows The Driver Failed To Yield
Point of impact tells us a lot about where the rider was and where the driver's vehicle was headed when the turn started. Sight lines at the intersection or driveway matter too, since a driver's view can be blocked or clear depending on the exact location.
Witness accounts and any available video help fill in details that physical evidence alone can't show, like whether the rider had time to react or whether the driver paused before turning. We gather this evidence early, while it's still available, and use it to support the rider's version of events.
- Get medical care and follow up on all treatment recommendations
- Take photos of the intersection, vehicle positions, and any skid marks
- Get contact information for any witnesses at the scene
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to the driver's insurer before speaking with us
- Keep the motorcycle and gear until we've had a chance to review them

Do I need Monument left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?

Is the driver always at fault in a left-turn crash?
Not always. Fault depends on who had the right of way, the rider's lane position and speed, and whether the rider had a clear opportunity to avoid the collision. We look at the full picture before drawing conclusions.
Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault?
Colorado's comparative negligence rule can reduce your recovery based on your share of fault. If your share is as great as or greater than the other driver's, it can bar recovery entirely, so an accurate assessment of fault matters.
What evidence helps prove the driver failed to yield?
Point of impact, sight line conditions at the location, witness statements, and any video footage are the most useful. Together they help show where each vehicle was and whether the driver had a chance to see the rider.
Where would my case be handled if it goes to court?
