Multi-Vehicle Accident Claims in Pueblo County
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo multi-vehicle accident lawyers for people hurt in a crash involving several vehicles. We get the Pueblo Police Department or Colorado State Patrol report and the CommonSpirit Parkview Medical Center records.
A pileup or chain-reaction crash is not one event but a series of impacts, each with its own cause. One driver's negligence may trigger a second collision, but that does not automatically distribute liability equally. We investigate the precise order of contact, the decisions and speeds of each driver, and the road and weather conditions at the moment of each impact.
You may have a claim against one driver, multiple drivers, or a third party whose road maintenance failure or vehicle defect contributed to the sequence. We examine all available policies and negotiate with each insurer to ensure your injuries and losses are fully compensated.
You were stopped in traffic on I-25 when you heard the screech of brakes behind you. Then impact. Then another. By the time it was over, six vehicles were involved and you were trapped in the middle. Now you are hurt, your car is destroyed, and you have no idea who is actually responsible for what happened to you.
Multi-vehicle accidents are different from two-car crashes. Fault is often divided among multiple drivers. Insurance companies point fingers at each other. Reconstruction becomes essential. And if you do not have someone protecting your rights from the beginning, you risk being blamed for damage you did not cause or settling for far less than you deserve.
Documenting the Sequence of Impacts
Multi-vehicle crashes require careful reconstruction. We obtain the police report from Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, or Colorado State Patrol; vehicle damage reports; event data from vehicle onboard systems; dashcam and traffic camera footage; and detailed witness statements that place each vehicle's position and speed before impact.
We also preserve medical records from CommonSpirit Parkview Medical Center or your treatment provider, photographs of all vehicle positions, road conditions at the time of the crash, and the insurance declarations and liability coverage limits for each driver involved.
In a multi-vehicle accident, physical evidence degrades quickly. Request that all involved vehicles be photographed before removal or repair.
- Sequence of impacts for every vehicle

- Video from any angle available
- All available liability and UM policies
- Police report identifying each participant
Contact us as soon as possible so we can send preservation letters to all parties, ensuring that event data, video, and vehicle damage photos are retained for our investigation.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents on Pueblo's Major Corridors
U.S. Highway 50 and Pueblo Boulevard see heavy traffic, particularly during peak commute times and when weather conditions deteriorate. Chain-reaction crashes are common in these corridors, especially near the interchange with I-25. When visibility drops or traffic slows unexpectedly, drivers following too closely cannot brake in time, and the result is a cascading series of collisions.
Accidents involving Pueblo West, Bessemer, and other nearby communities often involve drivers unfamiliar with local road layouts or construction zones. We understand the traffic patterns and seasonal risks on these routes and use that knowledge to establish how a particular pileup occurred.

Pueblo Multi-Vehicle Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Pueblo multi-vehicle accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Pueblo multi-vehicle 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 do you determine who is at fault in a multi-vehicle accident?
We reconstruct the sequence of impacts using the police report, vehicle damage patterns, event data, video footage, and witness statements. Each impact has a cause—a driver's speed, following distance, or failure to brake. We identify which driver's negligence triggered the chain reaction and hold that driver and their insurer accountable, even if other drivers contributed to later impacts.
Can I recover compensation from multiple insurance companies?
Yes. If more than one driver's negligence contributed to your injuries, you may have claims against each driver's liability insurance. We negotiate with all insurers and ensure that each policy is examined for coverage. We also investigate whether a third party—such as the road authority or a vehicle manufacturer—bears any responsibility.
What does it cost to hire you for a multi-vehicle accident claim?
We work on contingency. You do not pay any upfront fees or costs. We are paid only if we recover compensation for you through settlement or trial. Our fee comes from the settlement or judgment we obtain, so our financial interest aligns with yours.
How long do I have to file a claim for a multi-vehicle accident in Pueblo County?
Colorado law generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, insurance claims have shorter deadlines, and evidence degrades over time. Do not delay. Contact us as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the pileup?
Colorado is a modified comparative negligence state. If you are less than 50 percent at fault, you may still recover compensation, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize any allocation of blame to you and maximize recovery from other drivers.
