Dooring, Passing Distance, and Turning Vehicle Claims in El Paso County
McCormick & Murphy are Colorado Springs bicycle accident lawyers for people hit while riding a bicycle. We get the Colorado Springs Police Department or Colorado State Patrol report, the UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central or CommonSpirit Penrose Hospital records, and file in El Paso County District Court.
A bicycle accident claim in Colorado Springs requires careful investigation of how the collision actually happened, not stereotypes about cyclists or motor vehicles. Whether the crash occurred in Briargate, Old Colorado City, or along a major corridor, we examine the road design, signal timing, lane markings, and the actions of all parties involved. Colorado law protects cyclists and holds drivers accountable when negligence causes injury.
Bicycle collisions can result from dooring, improper passing distance, turning vehicles that fail to yield, roadway hazards, or intersection conflicts. We gather evidence specific to your crash—bike and vehicle damage, photos of the scene, witness statements, traffic signal data, and any video or GPS records—to support your claim. The goal is a fair settlement or judgment that covers your medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Witness Accounts and Crash Data From Powers Boulevard and Academy Boulevard
Physical evidence matters in every bicycle claim we handle. Damage to your bike and the vehicle involved tells a story about impact angle, speed, and position at the moment of collision. We preserve photographs of the accident scene, lane markings, traffic signals, and road conditions from the day of the crash. Helmet damage can indicate head impact; medical imaging shows injury severity. Device data—GPS from your phone, data from fitness watches, or telematics from the vehicle—can establish speed and timing.
Witness statements are critical in Colorado Springs bicycle cases, especially when the crash occurred on busy corridors like Powers Boulevard or Academy Boulevard. We interview bystanders, nearby residents, and business owners who saw what happened. Traffic camera footage, private security video, and dashcam records can corroborate witness accounts. We also review Colorado Springs Police Department or Colorado State Patrol reports and any traffic signal timing records to establish liability.

From Powers Boulevard To Woodmen Road: How Colorado Springs Corridors Shape Your Case
Colorado Springs neighborhoods have different road environments. Briargate and the Broadmoor area tend to have well-developed street networks with bike lanes on some routes, but conflicts still occur at intersections and where lanes end. Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs have narrower, winding roads with higher accident risk for cyclists. Fountain and areas along I-25 corridors present different hazards. We know these local roads and the patterns of cyclist and vehicle interaction that lead to injury.
Whether your collision happened while commuting on Woodmen Road, crossing Academy Boulevard, navigating Powers Boulevard traffic, or riding in a less-trafficked neighborhood near Fountain or Manitou Springs, we evaluate your case based on the specific road design, traffic patterns, and behavior of the parties involved. Local context—school routes, business district congestion, seasonal weather on mountain approaches—informs our investigation and claim strategy.

Questions We Hear From Colorado Springs Cyclists After A Crash
Do I need Colorado Springs bicycle accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Colorado Springs bicycle accident 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 you for my bicycle accident claim?
We work on contingency. You pay no upfront fees, no hourly rate, and no costs unless we recover money for you through settlement or trial verdict. Our fee is a percentage of what you receive. If we don't recover, you don't pay us.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Colorado Springs?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, insurance claims and settlement negotiations often move faster. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible so we can preserve evidence and begin investigating while details are fresh.
What if I was partially at fault for the bicycle accident?
Colorado follows comparative negligence rules. You can recover damages even if you were partially responsible, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight to minimize any blame assigned to you and maximize what you receive.
Will my case go to trial, or can we settle?
Most bicycle accident claims settle without trial. We negotiate aggressively with the at-fault driver's insurance company to reach a fair settlement. If the insurer refuses to offer adequate compensation, we prepare your case for El Paso County District Court and present it before a judge or jury.
What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident in Colorado Springs?
Call Colorado Springs Police Department or Colorado State Patrol to report the collision. Seek medical attention even if you feel okay—some injuries appear later. Take photos of your bike, the vehicle, the scene, and any visible injuries. Get names and contact information from witnesses. Do not admit fault. Then contact us so we can protect your rights and begin evidence preservation.
