Left-Turn Motorcycle Crashes And Failure-To-Yield Claims In Security-Widefield
McCormick & Murphy are Security-Widefield left-turn motorcycle lawyers for riders hurt when a driver turned across their right of way. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
These crashes come down to negligence. When a driver turns left across an intersection or driveway, the question is whether that driver failed to yield to a motorcyclist who had the right of way at the time.
That said, not every left-turn crash is automatically the car driver's fault. We look at where the rider was positioned in the lane, whether signals were used, and how fast each vehicle was moving before the impact. Those details shape how fault gets divided.
We build these cases around the specific facts of the intersection and the moment of impact, not assumptions about who's usually at fault in a left-turn crash.
Evidence That Shows How The Left Turn Happened
The point of impact tells us a lot about where the rider was and how the turn was made. We also look at sight lines at the intersection, since obstructed views can affect whether a driver reasonably saw the motorcycle approaching.
Witness accounts and any available video help fill in the sequence of events. Traffic camera footage, dash cams from nearby vehicles, or business surveillance near the crash site can show speed, signal use, and lane position in the moments before the turn.
- Get medical care and keep records of the visit
- Photograph the intersection, vehicle positions, and any skid marks
- Get contact information for witnesses at the scene
- Identify any nearby cameras that may have captured the crash
- Avoid discussing fault with the other driver or their insurer

Your Security-Widefield Left-Turn Motorcycle Questions Answered
Do I need Security-Widefield left-turn motorcycle lawyers after a crash?
Call Security-Widefield left-turn motorcycle lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
Is the car driver always at fault in a left-turn crash?
Not always. Fault depends on facts like whether the rider had the right of way, the rider's lane position, and how fast each person was traveling. We review the specific circumstances before drawing conclusions.
Can my own actions affect my claim?
Yes. Colorado uses a comparative negligence system, which can reduce your recovery by your share of fault. If your share of fault is as great as or greater than the other driver's, it can bar recovery entirely.
What evidence matters most in these cases?
Point of impact, sight lines at the intersection, witness statements, and any video footage are usually the most useful. These details help establish what each driver could see and how the turn unfolded.
What if there were no witnesses?
We still look at physical evidence like the point of impact, vehicle damage, and roadway conditions. Video from nearby businesses or traffic cameras can also help fill in gaps.
Do you handle these cases outside Security-Widefield?
Yes. We take left-turn and failure-to-yield cases throughout the area, including intersections along Fontaine Boulevard and near Fountain. Our office is in Colorado Springs, and we handle claims filed in El Paso County Combined Courts.
