Personal Injury Help in Englewood, Colorado
When a crash or injury lands you in a hospital bed, the insurance adjuster's first offer is rarely what you actually need to recover. We've spent decades on both sides of injury claims—our founding partner represented insurers for years, so we know their playbook and how they calculate lowball settlements. If you're hurt in Englewood and facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, or permanent damage, you need lawyers who will file suit and push back hard instead of accepting the first check.
We serve Englewood from our Denver office, handling cases across Arapahoe County and its courts. Whether your injury happened on U.S. Highway 285, South Broadway, Hampden Avenue, or at a local intersection near Littleton or Sheridan, we gather evidence from the Englewood Police Department, HCA HealthONE Swedish, and witness statements. We build a case for trial at Arapahoe County Justice Center if settlement talks stall.

Common Injury Locations on Englewood Roads
U.S. Highway 285 runs north-south through Englewood and connects to Littleton and surrounding areas. High traffic volume and merging lanes create collision risk. South Broadway, Hampden Avenue, and Santa Fe Drive see heavy local traffic, especially during commute hours. Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and pedestrian strikes occur at predictable spots.
Bike accidents and pedestrian injuries happen at crosswalks and along shoulders where drivers fail to yield. Road construction, poor signage, and worn pavement contribute to falls and loss-of-control incidents. We document road conditions, traffic patterns, and weather at the time of your injury to show negligence.
The Englewood Police Department files incident reports for all motor vehicle collisions and injury accidents. These reports contain officer observations, driver statements, and preliminary fault findings. We request and review reports early, often spotting gaps or errors that help your claim. Police records also identify citations or moving violations by the other party, which strengthen your case.
Medical Care and Recovery After Injury
HCA HealthONE Swedish provides emergency and ongoing trauma care. Document every visit, test, and treatment. Your medical records prove the injury severity and connect the accident to your pain and expenses. We coordinate with your doctors to obtain detailed reports for settlement negotiations.
Recovery is not linear. Some injuries worsen over weeks or months. Keep a journal of your symptoms, missed work, and daily struggles. These details support your claim for pain and suffering damages. We help you organize this evidence so insurers understand the full impact on your life.
Litigation in Arapahoe County
If settlement talks stall, we file suit in Arapahoe County Justice Center. Local judges and juries are familiar with Englewood accident patterns. Discovery opens both sides' files; depositions lock in testimony. We prepare you for trial and build a narrative that resonates with Colorado jurors.
Litigation takes time—usually 1 to 3 years—but it sends a message to insurers that you're serious. Many cases settle during or just before trial as risk becomes real for the other side.

Englewood Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront or during your case. We collect a percentage of your settlement or jury award. If we don't win, you owe no attorney fees. This aligns our interests with yours.
What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims. Missing this deadline bars your case permanently. Contact us immediately so we can preserve your right to sue.
How long does a typical injury case take?
Simple cases with clear liability and minor injuries may settle in 3 to 6 months. Complex cases with serious injuries, disputed fault, or uncooperative insurers can take 1 to 3 years, especially if litigation is necessary.
Do I have to go to trial?
No. Most cases settle before trial. We pursue settlement aggressively because it's faster and less stressful. But we prepare every case for trial so insurers know we're ready. You always decide whether to accept a settlement or go to trial.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Colorado follows comparative negligence. Even if you were 50 percent at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. We review all facts to minimize any blame assigned to you and maximize your recovery.
