Common Injury Sites in Monument
Colorado Highway 105 is the main spine through Monument, connecting the town to I-25 and surrounding communities. Highway 105 accidents often involve multi-vehicle collisions, speed-related crashes, and weather-related incidents—each creating serious injury claims. Second Street and Baptist Road carry local and through traffic, and intersections on these roads are frequent sites of crashes involving pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Injuries from Monument-area crashes frequently require emergency transport to UCHealth Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs. The hospital is equipped to handle trauma, but distance and severity can complicate recovery and claim dynamics. We gather hospital records, coordinate with your medical team, and build your claim while you focus on healing.
The Monument Police Department handles incidents within town limits, while the El Paso County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas and Highway 105 corridors. Both agencies file accident reports that form the backbone of injury claims. We obtain these reports early, interview witnesses, and request dispatch records and any body-camera or traffic-camera footage. Early investigation often reveals facts the initial report missed and strengthens your negotiating position—or trial case.
Medical Care & Documentation
Monument residents injured in crashes or other incidents are treated at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs or other regional facilities. Prompt medical care is essential, but it also creates a record—one that insurers will scrutinize. We coordinate with your doctors to ensure your treatment plan is thorough, documented, and tied to the injury mechanism.
From emergency room visits to physical therapy and specialist consultations, every appointment and prescription matters. We collect medical records, imaging, and provider notes to build an evidence-based claim that reflects the true scope of your harm. This documentation is what separates a credible claim from one that gets dismissed or undervalued.
Resolution & Litigation
If settlement negotiations stall, your case moves to El Paso County Combined Courts. Monument injury claims are heard by judges and juries in Colorado Springs, and we have the trial experience to take your case all the way. We file the complaint, manage discovery, depose the other party's witnesses, and prepare a case for trial if the offer remains unfair.
Many insurers know our reputation and settle appropriately rather than face us in the courtroom. But we never bluff. If trial is necessary, we're ready. Your recovery and your family's future are too important to accept a lowball settlement just to avoid the courthouse.

Monument Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy for my injury claim?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning you pay us only if we recover money for you—either through settlement or trial verdict. Our fee comes from the settlement or judgment, not from your pocket. You'll never owe us legal fees out of pocket, no matter the outcome.
What is the deadline to file a personal-injury lawsuit in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal-injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline bars your claim forever. We track these dates carefully and file suit before the window closes. Do not delay—call us as soon as you're injured.
Why should I hire McCormick & Murphy instead of handling this myself or calling another firm?
Kirk McCormick and James Murphy have tried injury cases for over 30 years. Kirk and Jay previously represented insurance companies, so they understand their strategies and leverage points. We don't accept lowball offers, we file suit when necessary, and we try cases in front of juries. That experience and willingness to go to trial changes how insurers negotiate with us.
How long does a personal-injury case take?
Simple cases with clear liability and minor injuries may settle in months. Complex cases—involving serious injury, multiple defendants, or disputed liability—can take 1–3 years or longer. We manage the timeline, but we never rush a settlement just to close a file. Your recovery and your claim's value come first.
Can I still hire you if the accident happened months ago?
Yes, as long as we're within Colorado's three-year statute of limitations. However, evidence fades, witnesses move away, and memories blur over time. The sooner you call, the sooner we can investigate, gather evidence, and protect your claim. Don't wait.
