Personal Injury Help in Aurora
McCormick & Murphy are Aurora personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Aurora Police Department report, the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital records, and file in the Arapahoe County Justice Center.
You've been hurt in a crash or accident in Aurora, and an insurance adjuster is offering you far less than you deserve. We get it—they have teams of lawyers working to minimize what they pay. That's exactly why you need us. We file cases on behalf of injured people across Aurora and the surrounding areas, and we work on contingency, meaning you pay us only if we recover money for you.
Our Denver office serves Aurora clients throughout Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties. Whether your injury happened on East Colfax Avenue, E-470, Parker Road, I-225, or anywhere else in the city, we handle your case from investigation through settlement or trial. We coordinate with the Aurora Police Department, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus, and the Arapahoe County Justice Center to build the strongest claim possible.

Common Crash Corridors in Aurora
East Colfax Avenue runs east-west through Aurora and is a frequent site of multi-vehicle and intersection collisions. I-225 connects north-south and sees heavy commuter traffic, especially during rush hours. E-470 (the E-470 toll road) and Parker Road also carry significant volume, and accidents on these routes often involve multiple lanes, high speeds, and complex liability.
We investigate crashes on all these corridors, obtain traffic-camera footage and witness statements, and work with accident reconstructionists when needed. Police reports filed with the Aurora Police Department provide an official record, but that record alone does not prove fault or damage.
After a crash or injury incident in Aurora, the responding officer files a report with the Aurora Police Department. That report typically includes driver statements, witness contact information, citations, and preliminary cause findings. We obtain these reports early and use them alongside medical records, photos, and expert analysis to build your claim. Police findings about fault are not binding on civil courts, but they are valuable evidence.
Medical Care Near Aurora
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus is a major trauma and emergency center serving Aurora. Whether you need emergency surgery, diagnostic imaging, or follow-up orthopedic or neurological care, we help you access treatment and ensure your medical bills are documented and preserved for your claim.
We also work with urgent-care clinics, primary-care doctors, physical therapists, and pain-management specialists throughout Aurora and the surrounding areas. Consistent medical documentation—seeking prompt care and following through on treatment—strengthens your personal-injury case and supports a full damages claim.
Court Jurisdiction and Venue in Aurora Cases
Depending on where your injury occurred and where the defendant lives or was doing business, your case may be filed in Arapahoe County Justice Center (the district court serving Aurora) or in the county court for Adams or Douglas counties. We evaluate jurisdiction and venue rules from the outset and file in the court with the strongest advantage for your claim.

Aurora Personal Injury Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Aurora personal injury lawyers?
Call Aurora personal injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Denver office is in Denver, CO.
How does the contingency fee work?
We advance all costs—court fees, expert witnesses, medical records—and take our fee only from the settlement or judgment we win for you. If we don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, agreed to in writing before we begin.
What is the deadline to file a personal-injury lawsuit in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal-injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing that deadline bars your claim forever. We evaluate your case immediately to preserve your legal rights.
What should I do right after a crash in Aurora?
Call 911, seek medical care, and stay at the scene if it is safe. Report the crash to police and exchange information with other drivers. Take photos, get witness names and phone numbers, and do not apologize or admit fault. Contact our office as soon as possible; early investigation is critical.
Will my case go to trial, or can we settle?
Most cases settle before trial, often during mediation or settlement negotiations. However, we prepare every case for trial from day one. If the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we are ready to present your case to a judge and jury in Arapahoe County or the appropriate county court.
How long does a personal-injury case typically take?
Simple cases with clear liability and documented injuries may settle within six months to a year. Complex cases involving multiple parties, significant injury, or disputed fault can take two to three years or longer. We manage the timeline efficiently while never rushing to accept an unfair settlement.
