Security-Widefield Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Fighting Rider Fault Bias
McCormick & Murphy are Security-Widefield motorcycle accident lawyers for riders hit when another driver fails to see them or yield. We get the El Paso County Sheriff's Office report, the UCHealth Memorial Hospital records, and file in the El Paso County Combined Courts.
Motorcycle accidents in the Security-Widefield area—whether along U.S. Highway 85, Bradley Road, or Widefield Boulevard—produce injuries that demand urgent legal action. Insurers routinely assume the rider was at fault. We start by rejecting that bias and building a factual case grounded in scene evidence, witness testimony, and Colorado traffic law. Our job is to show what the other driver did or failed to do.
We know that riders wear protective gear, follow lanes, and exercise caution. When a crash happens, physics and the evidence tell the real story. We collect photographs from the scene, measure sight lines, review video footage, interview witnesses, and analyze how the vehicles came into contact. El Paso County Combined Courts see these claims regularly, and we bring the evidence that separates responsibility from assumption.

Documenting Impact Points, Skid Marks, and Crash Reports Before They Disappear
Motorcycle accident scenes yield critical clues: the point of impact on both vehicles, skid marks, road surface conditions, traffic control devices, and the final resting positions of the bike and other vehicle. We document helmet condition, jacket and gear integrity, and any damage patterns that show what forces were at work. Photographs and measurements from the roadway become part of the record before weather or repairs alter the scene.
We obtain the official crash report from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and cross-check it against what witnesses saw and what the physical evidence shows. Video from nearby cameras, dashcams, or doorbell footage can be decisive. We also work with accident reconstruction specialists when needed, particularly in complex multi-vehicle situations or claims involving commercial vehicles on Highway 85 or roads near Fort Carson.
Local investigations may involve El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, evidence on Bradley Road or Fontaine Boulevard, scene measurements, and nearby witnesses.

Proving Your Injuries With Timely UCHealth Memorial Hospital Records and Documentation
Even at moderate speeds, motorcycle riders absorb forces that cars and trucks insulate their occupants from. Road rash, broken bones, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injury, and internal injuries are common. We coordinate with UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and other providers in Colorado Springs to obtain complete medical records, imaging, surgical reports, and ongoing rehabilitation notes.
We track every aspect of your recovery: emergency room visits, hospital stays, imaging studies, surgery, physical therapy, and any lasting pain or limitation. We also document lost wages, transportation costs to medical appointments, and the emotional toll of healing. Your medical evidence is the foundation of your claim's value, and we ensure the insurer sees the full scope of what happened to you.

Should I Call a Lawyer Now? Security-Widefield Motorcycle Claim Questions Answered
Do I need Security-Widefield motorcycle accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Security-Widefield motorcycle accident lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Colorado Springs office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle injury claim in Security-Widefield?
Colorado generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit. However, if a government agency was involved—such as a vehicle operated by El Paso County or a city—you may be required to send written notice within 182 days. Contact an attorney right away to confirm your deadline and preserve your rights.
Why do insurers blame motorcycle riders so often?
Insurers often assume riders are reckless or took unnecessary risks, regardless of the facts. That bias is not law. We build our case on physical evidence—impact marks, sight-line analysis, the other driver's failure to see or yield, road conditions, and your medical records. Colorado traffic law protects riders the same as any other driver.
What if I was not wearing full protective gear at the time?
Lack of protective gear does not prove you caused the accident. It may affect injury severity, but the other driver's liability—their failure to see you, yield, or obey traffic rules—is separate. Colorado law does not require specific gear. We focus on who caused the collision and the full extent of your injuries.
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy for a motorcycle accident claim?
We handle motorcycle injury claims on a contingency fee basis. That means we earn an attorney fee only if we settle your case or win at trial. You pay no fee unless we recover money for you. Out-of-pocket case costs—such as records requests, expert fees, or filing fees—are separate and discussed upfront.
Where will my case be filed if we go to court?
Motorcycle accident claims arising in Security-Widefield are venued in the El Paso County Combined Courts in Colorado Springs. We handle all filing, discovery, and court appearances on your behalf while you focus on recovery.
