Personal Injury Claims in Pueblo West
A crash or serious injury in Pueblo West often leaves you facing an insurance adjuster determined to minimize what you're owed. If the other driver's insurer is offering a settlement that doesn't cover your medical bills, lost wages, or pain, you need a lawyer who will file suit and take the case to trial. McCormick & Murphy has represented injury victims across Pueblo County since 1990, and our lead trial attorney Kirk McCormick spent years on the defense side—he knows exactly how insurers build their lowball cases, and he knows how to dismantle them in court.
Pueblo West sits along U.S. Highway 50, one of the region's busiest corridors, where collisions between passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and motorcycles happen regularly. Our office in Pueblo handles claims from the entire unincorporated area west toward Boone, Colorado City, and beyond.

High-Risk Roads in Pueblo West
U.S. Highway 50 is the spine of traffic in and out of Pueblo West. This divided highway sees heavy commercial truck traffic, seasonal shifts in speed and visibility, and frequent rear-end and side-impact collisions during weather changes or congested commute hours.
McCulloch Boulevard, Joe Martinez Boulevard, and Pueblo Boulevard intersect Highway 50 and connect to local residential areas, creating merge zones and left-turn conflicts where injuries occur. We investigate every road hazard—poor signage, missing guardrails, inadequate lighting, or road maintenance failures—that may have contributed to your crash.
Pueblo West is an unincorporated community west of Pueblo along Highway 50. Serious injuries are often treated in Pueblo, and claims commonly proceed in Pueblo County courts.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office responds to crashes on Highway 50 and surrounding roads in the Pueblo West area. Their accident reports document the scene, witness statements, and preliminary fault findings. We obtain these reports early and cross-check them against medical records, vehicle damage, and surveillance footage to build a complete injury narrative.
Medical Care & Documentation
UCHealth Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo is the regional trauma and acute-care hub for Pueblo West residents. Emergency room records, imaging (CT, X-ray, MRI), and surgical notes form the backbone of your injury claim. We coordinate with your medical team to ensure every test, diagnosis, and treatment plan is documented and valued in your settlement or trial.
Many injuries—whiplash, disc herniation, soft-tissue damage, fractures—develop or worsen in the weeks following a crash. We track your full course of care, including physical therapy, orthopedic follow-up, and any mental health treatment related to the accident. This continuity of care is critical when the insurance company tries to argue your injuries are minor or pre-existing.
Litigation & Trial in Pueblo County
Pueblo County Combined Courts is where your personal injury case will be filed if the insurance company refuses fair settlement. Our team has tried dozens of injury cases before Pueblo County juries, and we are prepared to present medical evidence, lost-wage documentation, and expert testimony on pain and suffering in front of a judge or jury.
The discovery process in Pueblo County requires the defendant to produce all communications, maintenance records, and prior complaints related to the road or business involved in your injury. We use this discovery phase to expose negligence and build leverage for settlement or trial victory.

Pueblo West Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. Our fee comes from the settlement or jury verdict we recover for you—typically one-third of the total award. If we don't win, you owe no attorney fees. Court costs and expert fees are also covered by us and deducted from your recovery.
What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of your injury. However, waiting reduces evidence quality, fades witness memory, and limits settlement leverage. We strongly urge clients to contact us within weeks of the accident.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle during negotiation or mediation. However, if the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we file suit and prepare for trial. Our trial experience and Kirk McCormick's background defending insurers gives us credibility and strategy in the courtroom.
How long does a personal injury claim take?
Simple cases with clear liability and documented injuries may resolve in 6–12 months. Complex cases involving multiple vehicles, severe injuries, or disputed liability can take 18–36 months. We manage the pace aggressively while ensuring every medical fact and expert opinion is properly developed.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster before calling a lawyer?
No. The adjuster's job is to minimize the payout. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Contact McCormick & Murphy first. We handle all communication with the insurance company from that point forward.
