Handling Intersection Accident Claims in Superior
McCormick & Murphy are Superior intersection accident lawyers for people hurt in Superior. We get the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office report, the AdventHealth Avista in Louisville records, and file in Boulder County Justice Center.
Intersection crashes almost always come down to a dispute over who had the right of way. One driver says the light was green. The other says it was red or yellow. Insurance adjusters often use this conflict to delay payment or push blame onto you, especially at busy crossings like McCaslin Boulevard or along U.S. Highway 36.
We work to establish signal status, vehicle movement, speed, and right of way through objective evidence rather than relying on competing memories. That includes looking at how the vehicles were positioned at impact, where debris landed, and what the physical damage tells us about angle and force.
Whether the crash happened at a signalized intersection, a stop-sign controlled crossing, during a turning movement, or in a crosswalk, the same core question applies: who had the legal right to proceed. We build the claim around evidence that answers that question clearly.
Evidence That Clarifies Fault at Intersections
Signal phasing records can show what the light sequence actually was at the time of the crash. Traffic cameras or nearby business video sometimes capture the collision directly or show vehicle positions beforehand. Lane markings and sight-obstruction evidence, such as parked cars, signage, or landscaping near the intersection, help explain what each driver could or could not see.
Vehicle damage patterns and event data from the vehicles themselves can confirm speed and direction at impact. Witness accounts from people stopped at the intersection or nearby add another layer of confirmation. Acting quickly to request and preserve this evidence matters, since video footage and other records are not kept indefinitely.

Superior Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
Both drivers say they had the green light. How is that resolved?
We look at objective evidence like signal phasing data, traffic or business camera footage, vehicle damage patterns, and witness statements. These sources often clarify what happened more reliably than conflicting driver accounts. Our goal is to build a factual picture rather than rely on a swearing match.
What if the other driver claims I turned in front of them?
Turning movement disputes are common in intersection cases. We examine vehicle positioning, point of impact, lane markings, and any available video to assess which vehicle had the right of way during the turn. Event data from the vehicles can also help establish speed and timing.
The intersection had no traffic signal. Does that change the claim?
Uncontrolled and stop-sign intersections still have right-of-way rules, and evidence still matters. We look at stop-sign visibility, sight obstructions, vehicle speed, and witness accounts to determine how the crash happened. The absence of a signal doesn't mean fault is unclear.
I was hit while walking in a crosswalk near Superior. Can you help?
Yes. Crosswalk crashes involve the same careful review of signal status, driver sightlines, and vehicle movement as vehicle-on-vehicle intersection cases. We gather available video, witness information, and physical evidence to support your claim.
How soon should I contact you after an intersection crash?
Reaching out promptly helps us request traffic camera footage, business video, and other evidence before it's deleted or overwritten. Early action also helps preserve witness accounts while details are still fresh. We offer a free consultation to review your situation.
