El Paso County Personal Injury Service for Manitou Springs Residents
McCormick & Murphy are Manitou Springs personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Manitou Springs Police Department or the El Paso County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Memorial Hospital records, and file in the El Paso County Combined Courts.
After a crash or serious injury in Manitou Springs, you face two battles: recovery and an insurance adjuster trained to minimize what you're owed. Many injured people settle too fast, accepting lowball offers because they need money now and don't know their rights. McCormick & Murphy handles cases differently. Our lead trial attorneys, Kirk McCormick and Jay Murphy, spent years representing major insurers before switching sides to fight for injured Coloradans. We don't settle cheap, and we file lawsuits when necessary—we've been doing this since 1990 and we know when to take a case all the way to trial.
Manitou Springs sits in El Paso County, nestled between Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City along the scenic U.S. Highway 24 and Manitou Avenue corridors. Our Colorado Springs office serves the entire region, including Woodland Park, Fountain, and Monument. We handle cases in El Paso County Combined Courts and work with local law enforcement—Manitou Springs Police Department and El Paso County Sheriff's Office—to build a complete record of your injury.

Why Do U.S. Highway 24, Manitou Avenue, and Ruxton Avenue See So Many Injuries?
U.S. Highway 24 is the main artery through Manitou Springs, connecting Colorado Springs to the west side of El Paso County. Traffic moves fast, visibility changes with elevation and weather, and multi-vehicle collisions happen regularly. Pedestrian injuries also occur where Highway 24 intersects Manitou Avenue and the tourist areas surrounding Garden of the Gods.
Manitou Avenue, Ruxton Avenue, and El Paso Boulevard see steady local traffic, especially near shops and attractions that draw visitors year-round. Narrow roads, steep grades, and seasonal conditions create hazards. We investigate every roadway injury—gathering police reports, witness statements, and property-damage records to show exactly how the crash or injury happened.
After an injury, police reports are your first official record. The Manitou Springs Police Department and El Paso County Sheriff's Office document crash details, injuries, and fault findings. We obtain these reports immediately and cross-reference them with medical records and witness interviews. Sometimes the initial report is incomplete or favors the other driver. Our team knows how to supplement that record and challenge inaccuracies—critical work before negotiations or trial.

Records From UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central Build Your Claim
UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs is the primary trauma and emergency facility for Manitou Springs residents. If you're injured in a crash or accident, you'll likely be transported there for immediate care. Keep all medical records, billing statements, and provider notes—they form the foundation of your injury claim.
Many injuries don't show symptoms immediately. Whiplash, soft-tissue damage, and internal injuries can emerge days or weeks later. Document every appointment, prescription, and treatment cost. We review your full medical history to calculate damages accurately and prove the injury's long-term impact.

Clear Answers on Manitou Springs Injury Claims
Do I need Manitou Springs personal injury lawyers?
Call Manitou Springs personal injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Colorado Springs office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—we take a percentage of what we recover for you, only if we win or settle. You pay no attorney fees unless you receive money. We cover case costs (investigation, medical records, expert fees) and recover those from your settlement or judgment.
What's the deadline to file a personal injury claim in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury for most personal injury cases. After two years, you lose the right to sue. Don't wait—evidence disappears, witnesses move, and memories fade. Call us as soon as you're injured.
Should I settle quickly with the insurance company?
No. Adjusters push quick settlements because they pay less than fair value. We investigate fully, calculate your true damages, and negotiate hard. If the offer is inadequate, we file a lawsuit and try the case. You're never forced to accept a lowball offer.
Do you handle cases outside Colorado Springs?
Yes. Our Colorado Springs office serves all of El Paso County, including Manitou Springs, Woodland Park, Fountain, Monument, and Old Colorado City. We handle cases statewide and work with co-counsel as needed.
What if I'm partially at fault for the injury?
Colorado is a comparative-negligence state. You can recover damages even if you're partly responsible—your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight hard to minimize any assignment of blame and maximize your recovery.
