Bike Lane, Dooring, And Hazard Claims On Pueblo Boulevard And U.S. Highway 50
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo bicycle accident lawyers for people hit while riding a bicycle. We get the Pueblo Police Department or Colorado State Patrol report and file in Pueblo County District Court.
A bicycle accident claim starts with gathering evidence from the scene and the vehicles involved. We obtain the police report from the Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, or Colorado State Patrol, depending on where the crash occurred. We photograph bike and vehicle damage, document lane markings and sight lines, collect statements from witnesses, and preserve any video or traffic-camera footage. If you hit a pothole, debris, or other roadway hazard, we inspect the road condition and identify the public entity or property owner responsible for maintenance.
Colorado law treats cyclists as operators of vehicles with the same rights and duties as drivers. That means you have the right to a full lane, the right to ride through an intersection when the signal permits, and the right to compensation if someone else's negligence injures you. We evaluate fault without stereotypes—focusing only on who violated the traffic laws and the duties of reasonable care.
Bicycle Damage, Scene Photos, And Witness Statements We Gather In Pueblo
We examine the bicycle itself, noting the point of impact, frame damage, and component failure. We review vehicle damage to determine speed and angle of approach. We measure passing distance, document lane width, and photograph road conditions—potholes, debris, poor lighting, or vegetation overgrowth. We obtain signal timing data from city traffic-control systems and retrieve GPS, phone, or cycling-app data that may show your route and speed.
Witness statements are crucial. We interview people who saw the crash, photograph the scene from multiple angles, and obtain video from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, or dashcams. We also examine your helmet, clothing, and any injuries to correlate with the point of impact. Medical records and expert testimony about injury patterns help us prove causation and severity.

Pueblo Police Reports From U.S. Highway 50, Pueblo Boulevard, I-25, And Northern Avenue
U.S. Highway 50 and Pueblo Boulevard carry heavy traffic and are common sites of bicycle crashes. Northern Avenue and I-25 also present hazards for cyclists, especially at on- and off-ramps where drivers merge without checking for bikes. We have handled crashes in Pueblo West, where growing residential development brings increased traffic; in Bessemer and Belmont, where industrial and agricultural roads may have poor maintenance; and in Downtown Pueblo, where older street layouts and mixed traffic create intersection conflicts.
Each location has different hazards. We know which intersections have sight-line problems, which stretches of pavement are prone to potholes, and which road segments lack adequate bike lanes or shoulders. We work with local traffic engineers and law-enforcement records to establish patterns of dangerous conditions and prior complaints.

Do You Need Pueblo Bicycle Accident Lawyers After A Crash
Do I need Pueblo bicycle accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Pueblo bicycle accident lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. We meet you at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003.
How much does it cost to hire you for a bicycle accident case?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and no attorney fee unless we recover money for you through settlement or judgment. Our fee comes from the settlement or award, not from your pocket. If we do not recover anything, you owe us nothing.
What is the deadline to file a bicycle accident claim in Pueblo?
Colorado law gives you three years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit in Pueblo County District Court. However, the sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve evidence and pursue your claim. Insurance settlements often move faster than lawsuits, so do not wait.
Who pays for my medical bills while my case is pending?
Your own health insurance or medical-payment coverage on your homeowner's or renter's policy may cover immediate care. Some personal-injury protection policies also apply. We help you understand your coverage and may negotiate medical liens with providers so your recovery is not reduced by their bills.
Can I be found partially at fault for a bicycle accident?
Yes. Colorado is a comparative-negligence state. If you are found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover the portion of damages caused by the other party. For example, if you are awarded $10,000 but found 20% at fault, you recover $8,000. We challenge unfair fault findings and present evidence of driver negligence.
What should I do if the driver had no insurance?
Colorado requires all drivers to carry liability insurance, but some do not. If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, we can pursue a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if you have it. We also investigate whether the vehicle owner's employer or a commercial fleet may be liable, or whether public-entity immunity applies.
