Kirk McCormick spent years on the other side of the table, defending insurance companies, which means he knows every tactic they use to minimize your claim.

Common Injury Corridors Near Security-Widefield
Highway 85 runs north-south through the region and is a frequent site of serious crashes involving commercial vehicles, distracted drivers, and speed-related collisions. Bradley Road, Fontaine Boulevard, and Widefield Boulevard also see multi-vehicle accidents and single-vehicle rollovers, especially during poor weather.
If you were injured on any of these roads, the crash report filed with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is critical evidence. We obtain those reports immediately and interview witnesses before memories fade. Road conditions, traffic signal timing, and vehicle maintenance records can all support your claim.
Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community southeast of Colorado Springs. Injury claims from this area often involve Highway 85 / Bradley Road corridors and are venued in El Paso County Combined Courts.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office responds to and documents crashes in Security-Widefield. We request the official report as soon as you hire us, because it contains the investigating officer's observations, vehicle damage descriptions, and any citations issued. That report often contradicts what the at-fault driver or their insurer later claims. We also request dispatch records and dash-camera footage when available.
Medical Care After Your Injury
UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs is the nearest major trauma facility. If you were transported by ambulance or went to the emergency room, those records document the severity of your injuries on day one. We obtain your full medical file and consult with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and other specialists to quantify your damages.
Don't skip follow-up appointments or physical therapy, even if you feel better. Insurance adjusters use gaps in treatment as an excuse to deny claims. We help you understand what care you need and ensure your medical records support your demand.

Security-Widefield Personal Injury FAQ
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy?
We work on contingency. You pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict, not from your pocket. Court costs and expert fees are also advanced by us and paid from recovery.
When do I need to file a lawsuit?
Colorado law gives you two years from the date of injury to file suit in El Paso County Combined Courts. Don't wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses move away, and memories fade. We recommend calling within weeks of your injury.
What if I was partially at fault?
Colorado is a modified comparative-negligence state. You can recover even if you were partly responsible, as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We build a strong liability case to minimize any blame on you.
How long does a personal-injury case take?
Most cases settle within 12 to 18 months. Some take longer if the injuries require extended treatment or if the insurance company refuses a fair offer. We prepare every case for trial so you're never pressured to accept low money just to move fast.
Can I speak to Kirk McCormick or James Murphy directly?
Yes. Our lead attorneys review every case personally. You'll work with an experienced trial lawyer, not a paralegal. Call us for a free consultation and speak to the attorney who will handle your case.
