Who's at Fault at the Intersection
McCormick & Murphy are Woodland Park intersection accident lawyers for people hurt in Woodland Park. We get the Woodland Park Police Department and Teller County Sheriff’s Office report, the UCHealth Pikes Peak Regional Hospital records, and file in Teller County Combined Courts.
Intersection crashes often come down to two drivers telling different stories about who had the light, who had the stop sign, or who had the right of way. Insurance adjusters know this and will push whatever version favors their driver unless they're shown clear evidence otherwise.
We work to establish what actually happened through signal phasing, vehicle positions, and physical evidence left at the scene. In Woodland Park, that can mean crashes at the busy junctions along U.S. Highway 24, the merge points with Colorado Highway 67, or the controlled intersections along Midland Avenue and Baldwin Street where turning and crosswalk conflicts are common.
Fault isn't always all-or-nothing. Colorado law allows for shared responsibility between drivers, and we work to make sure our client's share is accurately assessed rather than inflated by the other side's version of events.
Building the Evidence
Intersection cases are won or lost on objective proof. We look at signal timing and phasing, any traffic-camera or nearby business video, lane markings, and the pattern of vehicle damage, since the angle and location of impact often tell us who was moving into whose path. Sight obstructions, like parked vehicles, signage, or terrain near Woodland Park's intersections, can also explain why a driver didn't see another vehicle in time.
We also gather witness accounts quickly, before memories fade, and pull event data recorder information from vehicles when it's available. That data can show speed, braking, and throttle input in the moments before the crash, which often speaks louder than either driver's recollection.
- Photos of vehicle positions, damage, and the intersection itself
- Contact information for any witnesses at the scene

Handling Cases in Woodland Park and Teller County
Woodland Park sits along a corridor where U.S. Highway 24 traffic mixes with local travel on Baldwin Street and Midland Avenue, and where Colorado Highway 67 brings additional vehicles through town toward Cripple Creek. That mix creates intersections with varying traffic patterns, visibility, and signal setups, all of which matter when we're reconstructing a crash.
We handle claims arising from these intersections and file in Teller County Combined Courts when litigation is necessary. We also work with clients from nearby communities like Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Monument, and Palmer Lake who are injured in or passing through Woodland Park intersections.
Damages We Pursue
- Medical expenses from emergency and follow-up care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical needs related to the crash

Woodland Park Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
The other driver says I ran the light. What if that's not true?
This kind of dispute is common in intersection cases, and it's exactly why we focus on objective evidence like signal phasing, video, and vehicle damage patterns rather than relying only on statements. We work to find proof that supports your account of what happened.
What if I was partly at fault for the intersection crash?
Colorado allows for shared fault between drivers, and partial responsibility doesn't necessarily bar you from recovery. We work to make sure any fault assigned to you is accurate and not overstated by the other driver's insurer.
Is there traffic camera footage of intersections in Woodland Park?
It depends on the specific intersection and whether nearby businesses have cameras covering the area. We investigate available footage early, since it can be overwritten or deleted if not requested promptly.
Which intersections see frequent crashes in Woodland Park?
Intersections along U.S. Highway 24 and the connections to Colorado Highway 67, as well as controlled intersections on Midland Avenue and Baldwin Street, see a mix of through traffic, turning movements, and pedestrian activity that can lead to conflicts.
Do I need to go to court for an intersection accident claim?
Many claims resolve without litigation, but when necessary we're prepared to file in Teller County Combined Courts. We handle the process either way so you can focus on recovery.
