Building the Negligence Case
McCormick & Murphy are Northglenn fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in Adams County Justice Center.
When a motorcyclist or passenger dies in a crash, we start by investigating how the collision happened. That means looking closely at the other driver's conduct, road conditions, and any factors that point to fault. A fatal crash claim is built on the same negligence principles as any other motorcycle case, but the stakes and the family's needs are different.
Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring a claim after a fatal crash and what that claim can address. We do not guess at who qualifies to file. Instead, we walk families through the specific rules that apply to their situation and explain the process clearly.
If you have lost a family member in a Northglenn motorcycle crash, our wrongful-death page explains who may file and what losses that type of claim covers. We encourage families to review that information alongside this page, since the two claims work together but are governed by different rules.
Investigating a Fatal Crash
Fatal motorcycle crashes require prompt, careful investigation. We work to secure police reports, scene evidence, witness accounts, and any available video from the area where the crash occurred, including stretches of I-25 and busy intersections like 104th Avenue, 120th Avenue, and Washington Street.
Medical records connected to care at facilities such as HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center can also help establish the sequence of events and the extent of injuries before death. We handle these records with care and work to preserve every piece of evidence that supports the family's claim.
- Police and crash reports related to the collision
- Photos or video from the crash scene, if available
- Contact information for any witnesses
- Medical and hospital records tied to the crash
- Insurance correspondence sent to the family
