Personal Injury in Fountain, Colorado
You've been hurt in a crash or incident in Fountain, and the insurance adjuster is already pushing you to settle fast for far less than you deserve. That pressure is exactly when you need a lawyer who won't fold. We represent injured people—not insurers. Kirk McCormick and James Murphy have led our Colorado trial team since 1990, and Kirk's background representing insurance companies means he knows how they think and won't let them lowball you. If the case doesn't settle fairly, we file suit and try it. We're not afraid of trial.
Fountain sits along the U.S. 85 corridor between Colorado Springs and Security-Widefield, with Mesa Ridge Parkway and Fountain Mesa Road running through town. I-25 is nearby to the west. We maintain our main office in Colorado Springs, just minutes from the El Paso County Combined Courts where we litigate cases for injured Fountain residents. Most serious injuries in the area are treated at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs.

Accident reports for crashes in Fountain are filed with the Fountain Police Department or the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, depending on location.

Fountain Personal Injury FAQ
Do I pay a fee upfront?
No. We work on contingency: you pay no fee unless and until we recover money for you. Court costs and expert fees are advanced by us and deducted from recovery after settlement or judgment.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In Colorado, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury for most personal-injury claims. Don't wait; evidence degrades, witnesses move, and memories fade. Call us immediately after your injury.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
After you've been treated and have consulted us, yes—but only through us. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. We handle all communication to protect your rights and prevent you from saying something that hurts your claim.
What if I was partially at fault?
Colorado is a comparative-negligence state. Even if you're 50% at fault, you can still recover 50% of your damages. We investigate thoroughly to prove the other party's liability and reduce any finding of fault against you.
How long does a personal-injury case take?
It depends. Simple cases with clear liability and serious injuries may settle in 6–12 months. Complex cases or those requiring trial can take 2–3 years. We move efficiently while building a strong case.
