Why Intersection Crashes Lead to Strong Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Colorado Springs intersection accident lawyers for people hurt in an intersection crash. 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.
Intersection accidents create a natural record. Traffic signals, lane markings, sight lines, and vehicle positions all tell a story about what happened. When another driver violated the right-of-way rules that govern intersections—whether by running a signal, failing to yield on a turn, or entering against a stop sign—we have concrete evidence to support liability.
Colorado law requires drivers to obey traffic control devices and yield the right of way. Violations are not just negligent; they often constitute negligence per se. We gather police reports, video footage, witness statements, and physical evidence to build a factual record that establishes fault and causation.
You were driving through an intersection when another driver ran a red light and slammed into your vehicle. Or maybe you had the right of way on a left turn and someone plowed through without stopping. Now you’re dealing with injuries, a totaled car, and an insurance company that’s suggesting you share the blame.
Intersection accidents are different from other crashes because they happen at one of the most documented locations on any road. Traffic signals, cameras, skid marks, witnesses stopped at the light — the evidence exists. The question is whether someone will fight to collect it before it disappears.
Types of Evidence in Intersection Cases
Signal phasing data, traffic-camera recordings, and business surveillance video are powerful. We also obtain lane markings, curb positions, sight-obstruction photographs, and measurements. Vehicle damage patterns frequently show angle of impact and direction of travel. Event-data recorders (black boxes) in modern vehicles can document speed and braking at the moment of collision.
Witness accounts matter, but objective evidence is stronger. Police reports from the Colorado Springs Police Department or Colorado State Patrol document initial observations and citations. We cross-check all sources and eliminate inconsistencies to develop a coherent narrative of liability.
Intersection accidents on Powers Boulevard, Academy Boulevard, Woodmen Road, and I-25 often occur near traffic cameras, surveillance systems at nearby businesses, or traffic-management infrastructure. Signal phasing logs, video archives, and event-data recordings disappear quickly.

Colorado Springs Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Colorado Springs intersection accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Colorado Springs intersection 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.
Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing until we settle or win your case. Our fee comes from the recovery we obtain for you. If we do not recover, you owe us nothing.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Colorado gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal-injury lawsuit. However, evidence disappears fast. We recommend acting within days or weeks, not months. Witness memories fade, video archives are deleted, and signal records are purged.
What if the other driver says it was my fault?
Contradictory accounts are common in intersection cases. We do not rely on the other driver's statement or their insurance company's bias. We obtain objective evidence—signal phasing, video, damage patterns, and police investigation—to establish what actually happened and who violated the right-of-way rules.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. We prepare every file as if it will be tried, which strengthens our negotiating position. We also litigate aggressively when necessary. We discuss trial readiness with you at every step.
