Your First Call After a Cañon City Injury, From Police Reports to Filing Suit
McCormick & Murphy are Cañon City personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Cañon City Police Department or the Fremont County Sheriff's Office report, the CommonSpirit St. Thomas More Hospital records, and file in the Fremont County Combined Courts.
When a vehicle collision or workplace injury happens in Cañon City, you need a lawyer who will file suit if the insurance adjuster lowballs your claim. We've seen how quickly insurers push injured people toward inadequate settlements—especially along the busy corridors of U.S. Highway 50 and Colorado Highway 115 where commercial traffic collides with local vehicles. We handle these cases from your first call through negotiation or trial, and we work on contingency so you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Our Pueblo office serves Cañon City and the surrounding Fremont County area, including Florence, Penrose, Lincoln Park, and Brookside. When your case goes to Fremont County Combined Courts, Kirk McCormick and James Murphy bring decades of trial experience—Kirk specifically spent years on the insurance defense side before he switched to represent injured people, which gives us insight into how adjusters and defense counsel approach settlement. That background helps us build stronger cases and negotiate harder on your behalf.

Why U.S. Highway 50 and Colorado Highway 115 See So Many Collisions
U.S. Highway 50 runs through the region and carries heavy traffic. Colorado Highway 115 connects Cañon City to Pueblo and other points, and both routes see speed-related collisions, merging accidents, and weather-related crashes. 9th Street and Royal Gorge Boulevard are local arteries where pedestrian strikes, left-turn accidents, and intersection injuries occur.
High-speed impact, distracted driving, and poor road conditions all contribute to injury claims in this area. If you were hit on any of these roads, or anywhere in Cañon City, gather witness information and photos if you can, then contact us for a free case review.
The Cañon City Police Department and Fremont County Sheriff's Office respond to accidents and injuries across the county. Incident reports are public records and form a key part of your claim file. We obtain and review these reports early to build your case.

Why Your CommonSpirit St. Thomas More Hospital Records Matter
CommonSpirit St. Thomas More Hospital in Cañon City is the main facility for emergency and acute care. If you are injured, go to the emergency department or call 911. Early medical documentation—imaging, provider notes, diagnoses—creates the foundation for your injury claim.
After emergency care, you may need ongoing treatment: physical therapy, specialist visits, imaging follow-ups, or mental health support. Keep all bills and records. The costs and impact of this treatment are damages we will pursue in your case.

Do I Need Cañon City Personal Injury Lawyers?
Do I need Cañon City personal injury lawyers?
Call Cañon City personal injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Pueblo office is at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003.
Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing out of pocket. Our fee comes only from the money we recover for you. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Colorado law gives you two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, waiting longer makes your case harder to prove—witnesses move away, memories fade, and evidence is lost. We recommend calling us as soon as possible after your injury.
What if I was partially at fault?
Colorado allows you to recover damages even if you are partly responsible, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We investigate thoroughly to minimize any claim of fault against you.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor injury?
Even small injuries can lead to unforeseen complications and costs. Insurance companies often undervalue claims without legal representation. A free consultation with us costs nothing and can show you what your claim is truly worth.
