How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Old Colorado City 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, we investigate it as a negligence claim first. That means looking closely at how the collision happened: what the other driver did, how the roadway was laid out, what the traffic signals showed, and what physical evidence remains at the scene. Establishing fault is the foundation for any claim that follows.
A death in a motorcycle crash often leads to a wrongful-death claim under Colorado law. Colorado law controls who is entitled to bring that kind of claim and what it can address, and we do not guess at that here. If you have lost a family member in a motorcycle crash, our wrongful-death page explains who may file and what losses that claim covers.
Our role in a fatal crash case is to build the negligence side of the claim carefully, working alongside the family to understand what happened and to hold the responsible driver accountable through the civil justice system.
Evidence We Look For
In a fatal motorcycle crash, evidence can disappear quickly. Skid marks fade, debris gets cleared, and vehicles get repaired or scrapped. We move to identify and preserve the police crash report, photographs of the scene, any available surveillance or dashcam footage, and physical evidence from the vehicles involved.
We also look at witness accounts, roadway conditions, and any available records related to how the crash occurred. Because these cases often move through the El Paso County Combined Courts, we build the case with attention to how the evidence will need to be presented and supported as the matter proceeds.
- Any photos or video taken at or near the crash scene
- Contact information for witnesses who saw the crash
- The police report and any incident or case number
- The motorcycle, gear, and clothing involved, if accessible
- Any records connected to care received after the crash
