How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Palmer Lake fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
A fatal motorcycle crash in Palmer Lake is, at its core, a negligence case. We investigate how the collision happened: what the at-fault driver did or failed to do, what conditions on the roadway contributed, and what the physical and witness evidence shows about the moments before impact.
That investigation lays the groundwork for a wrongful-death claim. Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring that claim and when, and we do not guess at those rules here. If your family is facing this, our wrongful-death page explains who may file and what losses that claim is meant to address.
Our job on the crash side is to build the negligence case as thoroughly as possible, so that whoever is entitled to pursue a wrongful-death claim has a clear, well-documented account of how and why the crash occurred.
Evidence We Look For After a Fatal Crash
In a fatal motorcycle crash, the physical evidence often has to speak for the rider. We look at the crash scene along corridors like I-25, Colorado Highway 105, and County Line Road, including skid marks, debris fields, road conditions, and any available video or dashcam footage from nearby traffic.
We also review the official crash report, statements from witnesses and responding officers, and any medical records connected to care provided, including care at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs. Preserving this evidence early matters, because it can shift or disappear as time passes.
- The police crash report and responding officer's contact information
- Photos or video of the crash scene, vehicles, and roadway
- Names and contact information for any witnesses
- The motorcycle, helmet, and gear, kept in their post-crash condition
- Any medical or hospital records connected to the crash
