Your First Call After a Palmer Lake Crash or Injury
McCormick & Murphy are Palmer Lake personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Palmer Lake 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.
When a crash or injury happens in Palmer Lake, the insurance adjuster's first call is rarely in your favor. They'll lowball your claim, deny liability, or drag settlement negotiations until you give up. That's where we come in. McCormick & Murphy represents injured Coloradans—not insurers. We've tried cases in El Paso County courts for decades and know exactly when an adjuster's offer is an insult. If the other side won't pay fair value, we file suit and go to trial. You don't pay us unless we recover for you.
Palmer Lake sits in El Paso County between Monument and Colorado Springs, anchored by Colorado Highway 105 and the Highway 105 / Second Street corridor. Our office is in Colorado Springs, minutes from Palmer Lake's community. When you're hurt locally—whether on CO-105, County Line Road, or a side street—we handle your case from investigation through trial in El Paso County Combined Courts.

Why Highway 105 and the Second Street Corridor See So Many Crashes
Colorado Highway 105 and the Highway 105 / Second Street corridor carry heavy traffic through Palmer Lake year-round. Distracted drivers, speed, and poor weather create collision risks on these stretches. County Line Road and I-25 access routes also see multi-vehicle incidents and rollover crashes.
We investigate every crash site thoroughly—vehicle damage, skid marks, weather conditions, traffic signals, and witness statements. Reconstruction experts help us prove fault when liability is contested. Early investigation protects evidence and strengthens your claim before adjusters control the narrative.
Crash reports filed with Palmer Lake Police or the El Paso County Sheriff's Office become central evidence in your injury case. We obtain and analyze these reports, identify cited violations, and use them to establish the other driver's liability. Police findings support your claim—but only if we know how to present them.

Do I Need Palmer Lake Personal Injury Lawyers?
Do I need Palmer Lake personal injury lawyers?
Call Palmer Lake 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 7660 Goddard St Suite 245, Colorado Springs, CO 80920.
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—you pay us a percentage of your recovery only if we win your case or settle it. If we don't recover for you, you owe us no fee.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury is typically two years from the date of injury. Don't wait. Evidence fades, witnesses move, and memories blur. Call us within weeks of your crash or injury.
What if the insurance company denied my claim?
A denial is not final. We appeal denials, file suit against the insurer, and pursue bad-faith claims when insurers act unreasonably. Many denials are illegal overreach by adjusters.
Do I have to go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. But we prepare every case as if it's going to trial—that leverage pushes insurers to offer fair settlements. If they won't pay, we're ready to try your case.
Why should I hire McCormick & Murphy instead of another firm?
Kirk McCormick and James Murphy have led our Colorado trial team since 1990. Kirk and Jay previously represented insurers, so they know their playbook. We've won cases other firms thought were unwinnable. We don't settle for less than your claim is worth.
