$22.2M

Insurance

Our clients retained us following property damage to a historic Colorado mansion. The insurance carrier initially valued the loss at approximately $80,000 and eventually drew the line at under $500,000. After we became involved, the claim resulted in a $22,197,266.98 appraisal award in our client's favor.

$6.8M

Insurance

We obtained a $6,750,000 settlement for our client following hail damage to an apartment complex. The settlement was over $6,000,000 more than the insurer paid on the claim, and millions more than the insurer offered during negotiations. A few days before trial, the insurer sent a check to our office for every dollar we demanded.

$4.7M

Personal Injury / Brain Injury

We obtained a $4,742,048.02 jury verdict for a man in his late 70's who was severely injured in a car crash caused by a drunk driver. When the verdict came down, it was one of the largest verdicts of the year in Douglas County, Colorado. The jury found that the drunk driver was 100% at fault for the crash, and the verdict included an award of punitive damages to punish and deter the driver's conduct.

$2.5M

Personal Injury / Brain Injury

We obtained a $2,500,000 settlement for a bicyclist who suffered a brain injury after being hit by a driver who ran a red light. The driver of the car had no insurance, so we pursued our client's uninsured motorist carrier. The $2,500,000 settlement represented every dollar available under our client's uninsured motorist policy.

$2.3M

Insurance

We obtained a $2,300,000 settlement for a home builder whose liability insurer refused to defend it against a wrongful death claim brought by the family of a subcontractor killed on the job. The insurer denied a defense to the builder on the ground that the claim was excluded under the policy. After we obtained a summary judgment ruling that the carrier owed coverage, the case settled for millions of dollars.

Medical Malpractice

A local clinic misdiagnosed a patient’s condition, leading to life-threatening complications. By the time the correct diagnosis was made, the patient had already suffered irreversible harm.
