Case Results

The Case: At approximately 8:58 p.m., Allstate Sweeping, LLC was operating a street sweeper on E-470 as it passed over Parker Road. The sweeper protruded halfway out into the far left lane of travel while travelling 3 – 5 m.p.h. The sweeper lacked a number of required traffic control and safety devices designed to make the sweeper visible to approaching traffic. The initial investigation by the Colorado State Patrol concluded that all of the fault for the collision was on our client. At trial, on behalf of the deceent's family, the firm successfully argued that Allstate had the majority of responsibility for the death, because there were inadequate warnings for oncoming drivers.

The Result: The wife of the deceased, our client, and their five surviving children prevailed in a suit against Allstate Sweeping, LLC. The jury awarded the family $9 million in damages in Douglas County District Court.

This case involved two clients who both suffered injuries in a houseboat explosion; each one received over $5,000,000 in their individual awards.

The Case: Our clients included the parents of a 12-year old who died at Southglenn Country Club. At trial, our attorneys were able to show that due to the lifeguards' lack of training and the lack of attention to safety by the Country Club and the pool’s manager, the child drowned.

The Result: An Arapahoe County jury awarded $3.8 million to the parents after concluding that the Country Club and its employees failed to conduct the operations at the pool in a safe manner and failed to provide adequately trained and supervised lifeguards at the pool.

The Case: Our client, a firefighter, had his legs crushed and broken when a Ford Expedition seemingly placed in 'park' rolled downhill and pinned the unsuspecting 50-year-old between the Expedition and his own truck. He was changing out of his fire gear and sitting on his tailgate. Permanently impaired and disfigured, the client had completed 7 of the 11 surgeries he would undergo, including a knee replacement and ankle fusion, when we successfully tried his case.

The Result: A jury verdict of $3,565,000.

The Case: The case centered around a 2012 accident that killed a father as his daughter was driving at highway speeds on I-70 near Limon, Colorado, when their vehicle suffered a tire tread separation on a rear tire. The family was driving a 2000 Ford Ranger pickup with two recently purchased tires on the front wheels. The tire dealership that installed the new tires neglected to recommend that the family also replace the rear tires, which were 14 years old.

The Result: The attorneys were able to secure a $3.2 million settlement from the defendants in the case.
