How We Approach a Fatal Motorcycle Crash Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Walsenburg fatal motorcycle accident lawyers for families after a rider or passenger dies. We file in Huerfano County Combined Courts.
When a rider or passenger dies in a motorcycle crash, we investigate it as a negligence claim first. That means looking closely at how the collision happened: what the other driver did or failed to do, road and traffic conditions, and any other factors that contributed to the crash.
That investigation is the foundation for a wrongful-death claim. Colorado wrongful-death law controls who may bring that claim and what it can address, and we do not guess or assume which family member has the right to file. We walk families through that question directly, based on the facts of their situation.
For details on who may file a wrongful-death claim in Colorado and what losses it can cover, we point clients to our wrongful-death page. This page focuses specifically on how we build the underlying crash investigation that supports a fatal motorcycle accident case.
Building the Record After a Fatal Crash
Fatal motorcycle crashes near Walsenburg often happen along I-25, U.S. Highway 160, Colorado Highway 10, or on local roads like Main Street and out toward La Veta. We work to gather crash reports, scene evidence, witness accounts, and any available photos or video before they are lost.
We also coordinate with records connected to Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center where relevant to the crash timeline. Every piece of evidence we collect is aimed at establishing how the crash happened and who was responsible, which is the basis for any claim that follows.
- Request a copy of the official crash report
- Identify any witnesses at the scene
- Preserve the motorcycle and any damaged gear
- Keep records related to the crash and its aftermath
- Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with us
