Pueblo personal injury attorneys

Pueblo personal injury attorneys who will come to you

McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo personal injury attorneys for people hurt in car accidents, slip and fall injuries, dog bites, and wrongful death. We meet you at 301 N. Main Street, at home, or at Parkview or Pueblo Memorial, and we file in Pueblo District Court when the insurer will not pay a fair number.

If you are hurt in Pueblo, you should not have to drive to Colorado Springs for a first meeting — and you should not sign a lowball release before the file is built. We come to you: the Main Street office, home, or the hospital. Kirk McCormick and Jay Murphy used to represent insurance companies. That background matters when a carrier delays, denies, or lowballs a valid Pueblo claim.

McCormick & Murphy, P.C. is headquartered in Colorado Springs, about 40 miles north on I-25. The Pueblo office is at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003. Since 1990, Kirk McCormick and James “Jay” Murphy have practiced personal injury and insurance bad faith in Colorado state and federal courts. We will meet you at Parkview Medical Center, Pueblo Memorial Hospital, or wherever you are being treated.

Crashes on Pueblo Boulevard, Highway 50, and Pueblo streets

Pueblo injury claims often start on the same roads. Pueblo Boulevard, Northern Avenue, Santa Fe Avenue, and 4th Street see daily traffic, left turns, and intersection wrecks. U.S. Highway 50 runs east–west and is a frequent corridor for rear-end and deer-related crashes east of the city — one of the cases below started there. Interstate 25 is the north–south spine through town.

Rural stretches toward Colorado City, Boone, and the Arkansas River recreation areas bring higher speeds and longer response times. Colorado State Patrol often investigates highway crashes. Pueblo Police Department and the Pueblo County Sheriff handle city and county scenes. We obtain the crash report, photographs, and witness names before they get hard to find.

If a CDOT work zone, missing signage, or a dangerous highway design played a part, that is a different kind of claim and a shorter clock. Tell us what you remember about the road, not just the other driver.

Parkview, Pueblo Memorial, and the records that prove the case

Serious Pueblo injuries are often treated at Parkview Medical Center or Pueblo Memorial Hospital. Some patients are transferred to a Denver trauma center. The hospital chart, imaging, and later therapy notes are how we prove what the crash actually did — not what the insurer’s first adjuster wants to call a “soft tissue” case.

We gather records and itemized bills, deal with hospital liens, and coordinate with health insurance or workers’ compensation when both are in play. If a workers’ comp doctor tried to close you out while you still needed care — that happened in one of the Pueblo cases below — we do not treat that report as the last word.

Pueblo District Court, and lawyers who will try the case

Most injury claims settle. Some do not. When a carrier refuses a fair number, the case is filed in Pueblo County Combined Courts — Pueblo District Court for larger claims. Local judges, local jurors, and local rules matter. A lawyer who will not try a case in Pueblo will be pushed into a cheap settlement.

Kirk McCormick and Jay Murphy have decades of trial work. Mr. McCormick and Mr. Murphy previously represented insurance companies. That is useful when the other side’s file is built to minimize the claim. If mediation is the right next step, we prepare it the same way we prepare a trial: records, liens, and a number we can defend.
