Investigating a Fatal Motorcycle Crash

McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in Pueblo County District Court.

When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash, we approach the case as a negligence claim first. Our job is to establish how the collision happened, who caused it, and what evidence supports that account.

That investigation is the foundation for a wrongful-death claim. Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring that claim and what it can address, and we do not guess at those rules here. We encourage families to review our wrongful-death page for details on who may file and what losses that claim covers.

Every fatal crash case is different, and the facts of how the collision occurred in Pueblo will shape the claim. We work to build a clear, evidence-based picture of the crash while connecting families with the right legal path forward under wrongful-death law.

Evidence in a Fatal Crash Investigation

Fatal motorcycle crashes require prompt, careful investigation. That can include the police crash report, photos of the scene, witness accounts, and any available data from the vehicles involved. Because the rider is not available to describe what happened, this evidence becomes even more important to reconstructing the crash accurately.

We also look at medical records, including any records from CommonSpirit Parkview Medical Center, to understand the sequence of events and the extent of injuries. Preserving this evidence early, before it is lost or altered, is critical to building a strong claim on behalf of the family.

Preserve Steps Families in Pueblo Can Take
  • Request a copy of the police crash report
  • Identify and contact any witnesses at the scene
  • Preserve the motorcycle and any damaged gear
  • Gather medical records related to the crash
  • Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with an attorney
