Personal Injury Claims in Westminster
McCormick & Murphy are Westminster personal injury lawyers for people hurt in a crash, a fall, a dog bite, or another injury. We get the Westminster Police Department report, the CommonSpirit St. Anthony North Hospital records, and file in the Adams County Justice Center or Jefferson County Courts.
After a crash or injury in Westminster, insurance adjusters often try to minimize what they owe you. We've spent years representing injury victims who refused to accept lowball offers—and before that, we represented insurers, so we know exactly how they think. When you've been hurt on U.S. Highway 36, Federal Boulevard, I-25, or 120th Avenue, or in a slip-and-fall or workplace incident, you need lawyers who will file suit and fight if the adjuster won't pay fair value.
Our Denver office serves Westminster and the surrounding communities—Broomfield, Arvada, Northglenn, Thornton, and Wheat Ridge. If your case lands in Adams County Justice Center or Jefferson County Courts, we handle discovery, depositions, and trial preparation right here. We work with CommonSpirit St. Anthony North Hospital and local medical providers to document your injuries, and we file police reports obtained from Westminster Police Department to support your claim. We represent you on contingency, so you pay no upfront fees.

Common Injury Sites on Westminster Roads
U.S. Highway 36 and Federal Boulevard carry heavy commuter and commercial traffic daily. Merging collisions, lane-change accidents, and speed-related crashes frequently cause serious injuries. We've handled cases involving pedestrians struck near intersections, drivers injured in T-bone collisions, and passengers hurt in chain-reaction pileups.
120th Avenue and I-25 present their own hazards. Icy conditions in winter, construction-zone accidents, and driver distraction lead to injuries that require immediate medical attention and legal follow-up. If you were hurt on any Westminster roadway, documenting the scene and your medical response is critical—we help you build that record from day one.
The Westminster Police Department responds to collisions and files reports that become central to your injury claim. We obtain police reports, dispatch records, and witness statements early in your case. If the accident resulted in citations or traffic violations, those findings often support your claim for negligence. We also work with Adams and Jefferson County Sheriff's offices when jurisdiction overlaps. Understanding what the police report says—and what it may be missing—helps us identify liable parties and strengthen your demand.
Medical Care and Documentation in Westminster
CommonSpirit St. Anthony North Hospital and local urgent-care clinics are standard destinations for trauma and acute injury treatment in Westminster. Prompt medical evaluation creates the first documentation of your injuries. Insurance companies and courts rely on these records to assess damage. We advise clients to seek care immediately after an accident, even if symptoms seem minor at first.
Ongoing treatment—whether physical therapy, chiropractic care, or specialist follow-up—must be consistent and medically reasonable. We work with your healthcare providers to obtain records and clarify the connection between the accident and your ongoing treatment needs. Gaps in care or treatment that seems excessive can hurt your claim, so staying on a clear treatment plan matters.
Filing Your Case in Adams or Jefferson County
Depending on where your injury occurred and where the defendant is located, your case may be filed at the Adams County Justice Center or in Jefferson County Courts. Both venues handle personal injury and negligence lawsuits. We manage all procedural requirements, discovery, and deadlines. If settlement negotiations stall, we prepare to proceed to trial.
Colorado's civil rules require mediation in most cases before trial. Many claims resolve during or after mediation when the parties have full information. We present a strong demand package and are ready to advocate for you if your case reaches the courtroom.

Westminster Personal Injury Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Westminster personal injury lawyers?
Call Westminster personal injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Denver office is in Denver, CO.
How much does it cost to hire you?
We work on contingency. You pay nothing upfront and no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. If we win or settle your case, our fee comes from the recovery. You're not at financial risk—only if you receive money do we collect.
What is Colorado's deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit?
Colorado's statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline can bar your claim permanently. We track these dates carefully and file suit well before the deadline expires. Contact us as soon as possible after your injury to ensure your rights are protected.
Do I have to go to trial?
No. Most cases settle through negotiation or mediation before trial. We handle all settlement discussions and advise you on any offer. You retain final say on whether to accept a settlement or proceed to trial. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, but we aim for fair resolution without unnecessary delay.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Simple cases may resolve in months; complex ones can take one to three years or longer. Factors include the severity of injury, number of parties, insurance coverage, and court scheduling. We work efficiently and keep you informed of progress at every stage.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Colorado follows comparative negligence rules. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault. We investigate fully to minimize any finding of fault against you and maximize your recovery.
