2011 seems to have gone by faster than any year previously, both personally and in my practice. My boys are growing quickly, and weeks slip by before I’ve had a chance to realize it! We’ve had a great year full of successes at the firm, and I have had the pleasure of guiding many cases… [Read more…]

The Denver Post reported a car v. cyclist collision which rendered the cyclist dead at the scene. Just another example of the danger cyclists face on the open road from drivers. http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_19092174?source=rss H/t to the Post for breaking the story.

As a fan of a SEC team that is NOT Florida, I admit to harboring some grudges towards Mr. Tebow from his college days. In truth, while Tebow was racking up amateur accolades, my Mississippi teams were not exactly killing it, so it’s pretty much irrelevant.

I posted just a few days ago about the danger that cyclists face from aggressive motorists. Only a few days later, I read this article in the Denver Post, about people intentionally spreading tacks along known race routes before the race. Again, cyclists are targets on the road.

I represent many clients from motor vehicle collisions, and each one of them has an injury of some severity. There is often a lot of focus on clients who have what you’ve seen me refer to as “soft tissue” injuries, because the perception is that these injuries are minor and can be overcome fairly quickly… [Read more…]

I am excited for this documentary to air. HBO’s “Hot Coffee” is a documentary that looks into some of the most highly ridiculed “frivolous lawsuits”, with the namesake representing the case of Stella Liebeck, the woman who brought a product liability claim after she was severely burned by a cup of McDonald’s coffee which was… [Read more…]

Our firm recently experienced a very satisfying win in the courtroom on an “Unreasonable Delay/Denial of Insurance Benefits” claim under Colorado statute 10-3-1115 and 10-3-1116, after nearly a year of litigation, as well as various motions for post-judgment relief from the Defendant.

I just resolved a case and was able to use Colorado’s new “Made Whole” statute in a way that was a big benefit to my client. The “Made Whole” law, Colorado Revised Statute §10-1-135, is a power-packed law for injured persons, and it provides several benefits bey0nd the single aspect I am going to discuss here. Nonetheless,… [Read more…]

It’s been a while since my last post, and I will not make any promises beside that I’ll try to get some good posts up here after I resolve some very time consuming cases. In the meantime, enjoy this heart-warming story about Allstate. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=yhoo-ept_sports_nhl_experts-320928 The update says that Allstate may or may not be the… [Read more…]
