Proving Driver Fault At Colorado Springs Crosswalks And Turning-Vehicle Crashes
McCormick & Murphy are Colorado Springs pedestrian accident lawyers for people hit while walking. 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 pedestrian accident claim requires proof that a driver breached a duty of care and caused your injuries. In Colorado Springs, that means establishing whether a driver failed to yield at a crosswalk, ran a signal, was speeding, or was distracted or impaired when turning into or across your path. Right-of-way rules, visibility conditions, and the driver's attention all matter.
We investigate the scene, obtain police reports from Colorado Springs Police Department or Colorado State Patrol, review medical records from UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central or CommonSpirit Penrose Hospital, and interview witnesses. We then build a demand or file suit in El Paso County District Court if necessary to secure fair compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain, and disability.
Securing Crosswalk Video, Signal Timing, And UCHealth Memorial Records Before They Vanish
Pedestrian cases turn on physical and human evidence. Crosswalk markings, traffic signal timing, sight-line measurements, street lighting, and road conditions tell part of the story. Vehicle damage, skid marks, and the point of impact on your body help reconstruct the collision.
Witness statements, video from nearby businesses or traffic cameras, your clothing (reflectivity matters at night), and the driver's cell phone records or impairment tests round out the picture. Medical imaging and emergency-room documentation prove the severity of injuries caused by the unprotected impact.

Powers Boulevard, Academy Boulevard, Woodmen Road, And I-25 Pedestrian Danger Zones
Powers Boulevard, Academy Boulevard, Woodmen Road, and I-25 corridors carry heavy traffic. Intersections in Briargate, Old Colorado City, and near the Broadmoor see frequent pedestrian activity. Colorado Springs Police Department and Colorado State Patrol respond to crashes daily, but police reports sometimes understate driver fault or pedestrian right of way.
El Paso County juries expect drivers to watch for pedestrians, especially in commercial zones and residential neighborhoods. They understand that a person on foot has almost no protection in a collision. We use local knowledge of traffic patterns, typical driver behavior, and juror expectations to maximize your claim value.

Questions We Hear From Colorado Springs Pedestrian Accident Clients
Do I need Colorado Springs pedestrian accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Colorado Springs pedestrian 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 your fee upfront?
No. We work on contingency. You pay no attorney fee unless we settle your case or win a judgment. Our fee comes from the recovery we obtain, and only then. You are never liable for our fees if we do not succeed.
What is the deadline to sue for a pedestrian accident in Colorado?
Colorado allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit. However, evidence degrades and witnesses disappear quickly. We recommend contacting us within weeks or months of the crash to maximize investigation and preserve evidence.
Who pays if the driver has no insurance?
Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may cover the claim. We examine your policy and pursue all available sources—the driver's assets, their employer if they were working, or other third parties who contributed to the accident.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Colorado is a comparative-negligence state. Even if you were 50 percent at fault, you may recover 50 percent of your damages. We challenge any allegation that you caused or contributed to the crash.
What should I do immediately after being hit by a car?
Call 911 for police and an ambulance. Get medical care even if you feel okay—injuries show up later. Write down what you remember, take photos of the scene and your injuries, collect witness contact information, and contact our office as soon as you are able. Do not settle quickly or speak to the driver's insurance adjuster without legal advice.
