The contract contained a mandatory arbitration clause, so our attorneys initiated an arbitration proceeding against the contractor. The arbiter eventually awarded the client damages in excess of $2,000,000.

Our client’s sister was returning home from the airport in the state of Washington when she collided with the rear end of a tractor trailer truck. The operator of the truck failed to pull over after having a flat tire and was unlawfully moving 5 MPH on a public highway. The truck also was operating with broken rear brake lights that were inoperative. The at-fault driver’s and trucking company’s insurance carrier denied coverage. The insurance company claimed that the policy had lapsed 24 hours prior to the collision, the insurance company refused to accept liability for the unlawful acts of the company they insured, and then claimed that the deceased woman was somehow at fault. Our attorneys filed a Federal lawsuit and demonstrated that insurance coverage was in effect at the time of the accident, the insurance company finally accepted liability and paid the family of the woman $300,000 to settle the lawsuit.

Our client was walking from a party to a friend’s car when he was struck by a Jeep Cherokee. As a result of the collision, the client suffered severe injuries resulting in substantial medical bills and many months of physical rehabilitation.

Our experienced attorneys were eventually able to convince the insurance company to pay their policy limits of $960,000.

Our client was riding his motorcycle home in Douglas County when he was run off the road by a distracted driver. The driver was working at the time and was distracted by his cell phone use amongst other things. He swerved into the motorcyclist’s lane, hitting him, and running him off the road. Our client suffered a fractured wrist as result of the motorcycle crash. The driver’s insurance company and the driver’s employer refused to pay a reasonable settlement for his damages, so Larson Schneider initiated a lawsuit against the driver and his employer. Two weeks before trial, the insurance company agreed to pay the amount Larson Schneider had demanded from them to fairly compensate the motorcyclist.

The drunk driver was not insured at the time of the accident. Fortunately the client had uninsured motorist coverage. Unfortunately, the client’s insurance company refused to pay the claim and our attorneys were required to file a lawsuit. After a five-day trial in Denver District Court, the court awarded the client $498,000.00 in damages. The court also awarded additional punitive damages against the drunk driver.

A young girl was riding her bicycle in her own neighborhood when she was struck by a teenage boy who was driving his car too fast and was not paying attention to his surroundings. The young girl was knocked off of her bicycle and suffered a fractured ankle when the tire of the car rolled over her foot.

The teenage boy’s insurance company refused to take responsibility for the accident and claimed that the young girl was at fault in the accident because she was not in a cross-walk or crossing the street at an intersection. After the young girl’s family hired our attorneys, an accident reconstructionist was hired by the firm. This expert determined that the driver of the car was driving too fast and had he been paying attention to his surroundings, he would have had ample time to avoid the accident with the young girl.

After our attorneys presented the results of the investigation to the driver’s insurance company, the insurance company agreed to pay their policy limits of $100,000.

Fortunately for the client, he had four additional insurance policies on his family’s vehicles which each had $100,000 in underinsured motorist coverage (UIM). However, his insurance company initially denied the existence of multiple policies and then, contrary to Colorado law, claimed that the policies could not be stacked. Our attorneys were able to get the client’s insurance company to pay the client his full UIM policy limits under all four policies which totaled $400,000. In addition, to the obtain full policy limits on all 5 insurance policies, our attorneys were also able to obtain a personal settlement with the driver of the pickup truck for another $50,000.

The bar owners and their insurance company agreed to compensate the client $500,000.00 for his injuries prior to the scheduled trial in this case.
