Intersection Accident Claims in Pueblo County
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo intersection accident lawyers for people hurt in an intersection crash. We get the Pueblo Police Department or Colorado State Patrol report and file in Pueblo County District Court.
When two vehicles collide at an intersection—whether controlled by signals, stop signs, or uncontrolled—liability often rests on who violated traffic rules or failed to yield the right of way. Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, or Colorado State Patrol investigators document the scene, but their conclusions are not always complete or accurate. We review the police report, interview witnesses, examine traffic device timing, and analyze vehicle damage to determine fault.
Intersection crashes happen along major Pueblo corridors including U.S. Highway 50, Pueblo Boulevard, Northern Avenue, and I-25, as well as secondary roads in Pueblo West, Bessemer, Belmont, Downtown Pueblo, and Colorado City. Regardless of location, we gather the facts needed to hold the at-fault driver accountable.
Intersection accidents happen fast. One second you have a green light, the next you’re being hit from the side by a driver who ran theirs. Or maybe the signal was yellow, or both of you thought you had the right of way, or someone was turning left when they shouldn’t have been.
Whatever happened, you’re now dealing with injuries, a damaged vehicle, and an insurance company that’s trying to pin some or all of the blame on you.
Objective Evidence in Intersection Cases
Intersection accident reconstruction relies on evidence that does not depend on memory or perception. Signal phasing records from Pueblo traffic authorities, security camera footage from nearby businesses, and dashcam video establish vehicle positions and timing. Lane markings, sight obstructions (trees, buildings, or parked vehicles), and vehicle damage patterns reveal impact angles and speeds.
Event data recorders in modern vehicles can show whether a driver braked, accelerated, or was on their phone before the crash. Witness statements, cross-checked against this objective evidence, help identify the driver who failed to follow traffic laws or exercise due care. Police reports provide baseline investigation results, but independent evidence often tells a clearer story.
Intersection accident evidence can disappear quickly. Photograph the crash scene from multiple angles, including traffic signals, stop signs, lane markings, and any sight obstructions.
- Signal phasing / timing records
- Traffic or business camera video
- Lane markings and intersection photographs
- Vehicle damage and event data
- Witness accounts of light color and turns
- Crash report before retention cycles erase footage
Early preservation of evidence, medical records, and witness information can be the difference between a strong case and a weak one.
Intersection Accidents Across Pueblo County
Pueblo's roadway network includes high-traffic corridors where intersection accidents are common. U.S. Highway 50 intersections, especially near commercial areas, see frequent collisions. Pueblo Boulevard carries dense urban traffic, and Northern Avenue serves as a major north-south route. I-25 interchange accidents often involve multiple vehicles and catastrophic injury.
We also handle intersection crashes in neighboring communities: Pueblo West's growing suburban intersections, Bessemer's industrial and residential crossings, Belmont's rural road junctions, Downtown Pueblo's grid-pattern streets, and Colorado City's mountain corridors. Liability rules and evidence gathering differ slightly depending on location and jurisdiction, but our approach remains the same—find the facts and prove what happened.

Pueblo Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Pueblo intersection accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Pueblo intersection 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.
What if the police report says the other driver was at fault, but their insurance company disagrees?
Police reports are not binding on insurance companies or courts. We use the report as a starting point, then gather independent evidence—camera footage, witness statements, vehicle damage analysis, and physics—to build a case that stands up to challenge. Sometimes the police conclusion is wrong; sometimes it is incomplete. Either way, our job is to prove liability with evidence.
How long do I have to file an intersection accident claim in Pueblo County?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal-injury claims is three years from the date of injury. For wrongful death, the period is also three years from the date of death. However, evidence degrades and witnesses move or forget details as time passes. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible after the crash to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What is your fee if you handle my intersection accident case?
We work on contingency: you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you through settlement or judgment. If we win, our fee is a percentage of what you receive. If we do not recover anything, you owe us nothing. You are never responsible for attorney fees out of your own pocket.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault for the intersection accident?
Colorado follows comparative negligence rules. Even if you were partly at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and damages total $100,000, you may recover $80,000. We evaluate your role honestly and fight for the maximum recovery possible.
Who files the claim—me, my insurance company, or you?
You own the claim. We represent you and manage the process: we send demand letters to the at-fault driver's insurance company, negotiate settlements, and file a lawsuit in Pueblo County District Court if necessary. Your own insurance company may pursue a subrogation claim (to recover what they paid you) after we settle, but we prioritize your recovery first. We handle all communication and paperwork on your behalf.
