Sorting Out a Multi-Vehicle Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Walsenburg multi-vehicle accident lawyers for people hurt in Walsenburg. We get the Walsenburg Police Department and Huerfano County Sheriff’s Office report, the Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center records, and file in Huerfano County Combined Courts.
A pileup on I-25 or U.S. Highway 160 near Walsenburg is not one crash. It is several impacts, often seconds apart, each caused by a different driver's decision. Before we can tell you who owes what, we have to break the event into its parts: who hit whom, in what order, and why.
That sequence matters because fault can shift from one driver to the next as the chain reaction unfolds. A driver who was pushed into the car ahead of them may not bear the same responsibility as the driver who started the chain by following too closely or misjudging conditions on Colorado Highway 10 or Main Street. We look at each impact separately before we look at the whole.
Multiple insurers also means multiple adjusters, each trying to point blame at someone else's driver. We represent your interests against all of them, not just the one that seems easiest to blame.
What We Look At
We focus on the sequence of impacts, each vehicle's damage pattern, event data recorders, available video, witness accounts, following distances, and road conditions at the time. Damage patterns alone can tell us which car hit which, and in what order, especially when several vehicles show both front and rear damage.
We also identify every policy that may apply. In a multi-vehicle crash near Walsenburg, that can mean several liability policies plus underinsured motorist coverage. Sorting out which policies respond, and in what order, is part of building a full recovery for you.
- Photos of your vehicle's damage from multiple angles
- Photos of the full scene, including other vehicles involved

Walsenburg and Huerfano County
Multi-vehicle crashes near Walsenburg often happen where traffic merges or slows unexpectedly, including stretches of I-25, U.S. Highway 160, and Colorado Highway 10. Weather and sudden braking can turn a two-car incident into a longer chain. Walsenburg Police Department and the Huerfano County Sheriff's Office typically respond and document each vehicle involved, which becomes important when fault is contested.
We handle these claims for people in Walsenburg and nearby communities including La Veta, Colorado City, Rye, and Aguilar, as well as Pueblo. If a case needs to be filed, it would go through Huerfano County Combined Courts. Our office is in Pueblo, and we meet with clients from across the region.

Walsenburg Multi-Vehicle Accident Lawyers FAQ
How do you figure out who caused a multi-vehicle crash?
We reconstruct the sequence of impacts using vehicle damage patterns, event data, witness statements, and any available video. Each driver's role gets examined separately rather than assuming the first or last car is automatically at fault.
What if I was in the middle of the pileup?
Being in the middle does not automatically mean you share fault. We look at whether you were pushed into the car ahead of you or whether your own following distance or actions contributed to the chain reaction.
Will I have to deal with more than one insurance company?
Often yes. Multi-vehicle crashes can involve several liability insurers plus your own underinsured motorist coverage. We handle communication with each insurer so you are not managing multiple claims on your own.
What should I do right after a chain-reaction crash near Walsenburg?
Get medical attention, make sure a police report is filed naming all vehicles involved, and take photos of the scene and damage if you are able. Avoid discussing fault with other drivers or their insurers before speaking with us.
Does it cost anything to talk with you about my case?
No. We offer a free consultation, and we do not charge an attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
