You’re facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and the immense stress of recovery. What you need is a dedicated advocate who truly understands your struggle and knows how to deliver results.

But with experienced personal injury attorneys by your side, the dynamic shifts. We stand up for you, ensuring the playing field is even and you receive the full, rightful compensation you deserve.
Why McCormick & Murphy is Broomfield’s Trusted Choice
Broomfield’s busy environment, from residential areas to commercial districts and major highways like US-36 and the Boulder Turnpike, unfortunately means accidents are a frequent occurrence. In 2024, Broomfield reported 600 crashes, with 25% linked to distracted driving. These aren’t just numbers – they represent families and individuals whose lives were disrupted in an instant. Our firm is deeply familiar with these local conditions and how they impact personal injury cases.
What truly sets us apart is our deep knowledge of Colorado personal injury law and our proven record of success. While many claims in Colorado are resolved through mediation, having skilled legal representation ensures you secure a fair settlement, rather than being shortchanged by insurance companies.
Our approach is clear: we manage all legal complexities so you can focus on your recovery. While our office is located at 1547 N Gaylord St UNIT 303, Denver, CO 80206, we proudly serve clients across the entire Broomfield area, bringing decades of combined experience to every case we handle.
Protecting Broomfield Residents in Every Type of Injury Case
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents are unfortunately common in Broomfield, especially along busy corridors like 120th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, rear-ended at a traffic light, or involved in a multi-vehicle collision, we know how to build a strong case to help you recover maximum compensation.
We handle all types of vehicle accidents including:
- Car and truck collisions
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Rideshare accidents involving Uber or Lyft
- Hit-and-run incidents
Slip and Fall Injuries
Property owners in Broomfield have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When their negligence leads to hazards like icy walkways, wet floors, or broken stairs, innocent people suffer injuries. We hold negligent property owners accountable for their failures, helping you seek justice.
Workplace Injuries
Even if you’re eligible for workers’ compensation, you may have additional claims against third parties. We examine every possibility to ensure you receive full financial recovery for your workplace injury.
Medical Malpractice
When healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care, the impact on your life can be devastating. We collaborate with medical experts to establish negligence and secure compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
The Uphill Battle: Understanding Challenges After Your Injury
Based on our experience representing Broomfield residents, we see the same problems over and over again. Understanding these challenges helps us better serve our clients and get better results.
Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They’ll pressure you for recorded statements, offer quick but insufficient settlements, and use your own words against you. They know that most people don’t fully understand the true value of their claim or the long-term impact of their injuries.
One common strategy is the “friendly adjuster” approach. They may seem helpful and concerned, but their true objective is to persuade you to settle for significantly less than your case is worth. Once you accept their offer, you lose the ability to seek additional funds if you later discover the full extent of your damages.
Undervaluing Your Claim
Most individuals focus only on immediate medical bills and lost wages. However, a properly valued personal injury claim includes much more:
- Future medical care and rehabilitation costs
- Lost earning potential if your injury affects your ability to work long-term
- Fair compensation for pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life’s activities
- Property damage and related expenses
Without experienced legal representation, you’re likely to accept far less than your case is truly worth.
Missing Deadlines
Colorado has strict statutes of limitations for personal injury cases. Generally, you have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, but certain exceptions can shorten this timeframe. Miss the deadline, and you forfeit your right to compensation forever.
There are also specific procedural requirements that must be met, especially in cases involving government entities or medical malpractice. These technical requirements can be traps for those unfamiliar with the legal process.
Our Strategy: Maximizing Your Compensation for a Brighter Future
Thorough Investigation and Evidence Gathering
Strong cases are built on solid evidence. We immediately begin investigating your accident, collecting police reports, interviewing witnesses, and securing important evidence before it disappears. In motor vehicle cases, we often collaborate with accident reconstruction experts to establish fault.
For medical cases, we obtain all relevant medical records and partner with healthcare professionals to document the full scope of your injuries and their impact on your life.
Accurate Damage Calculation
We collaborate with economists, medical experts, and life care planners to precisely calculate both your current and future damages. This includes:
- All medical expenses, including anticipated future treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering compensation, determined by established legal standards
- Loss of consortium for married couples (compensation for impact on marital relationship)
- Punitive damages when appropriate, to punish extreme wrongdoing
Skilled Negotiation
Insurance companies respect attorneys with a record of taking cases to trial when necessary. Because they know we are prepared to fight in court, they are more likely to offer fair settlements during negotiations.
We never recommend accepting the first offer, and we do not settle until we are confident you are receiving full compensation for all your damages.

Understanding Colorado Personal Injury Law: How It Impacts Your Case
Comparative Negligence Rule
Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence system. This means that even if you were partly at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you were 20% at fault for a car accident and your total damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000. Insurance companies often try to assign more blame to you than is justified, which is why having experienced legal representation is so important.
Damage Caps
Colorado has limits on non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering) in certain types of cases. For most personal injury cases, non-economic damages are capped at approximately $642,180 as of 2026, with this amount adjusted annually for inflation. However, this cap can be increased to about $963,270 in cases involving clear and convincing evidence of specific aggravating factors.
Insurance Requirements
Colorado requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $15,000 for property damage. Unfortunately, these minimum amounts are often insufficient to cover serious injuries, which is why we also explore all other potential sources of compensation.
Immediate Steps to Protect Your Rights After an Accident
Immediately After an Accident
The actions you take right after an accident can significantly impact your case’s outcome. Here’s what you should do:
- Seek medical attention at once, even if you don’t think your injuries are serious
- Call the police and ensure an accident report is filed
- Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and your injuries
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Do not admit fault or make statements about how the accident happened
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Before speaking with any insurance company, remember these important guidelines:
- You are only required to report the accident to your own insurance company
- Do not give recorded statements to the other party’s insurance
- Do not sign any documents without legal review
- Do not accept quick settlement offers
- Keep detailed records of all communications
Documenting Your Injuries and Damages
Thorough documentation is essential for maximizing your compensation:
- Follow all medical treatment recommendations
- Keep copies of all medical records and bills
- Document how your injuries affect your daily life
- Keep track of lost wages and missed work
- Take photos of your injuries as they heal
Preserving Evidence
Evidence can disappear quickly, so it’s important to act fast:
- Do not repair your vehicle until it has been photographed and inspected
- Keep all damaged personal property
- Request that surveillance footage be saved
- Get witness statements while memories are fresh

Rising medical costs mean accurately calculating future expenses is more critical than ever. We employ specialized experts to ensure your settlement truly covers your long-term needs, not just immediate bills.

Why Acting Quickly Protects Your Claim

The insurance companies have legal teams working on their side from day one. Shouldn’t you have the same powerful representation?
