Colorado Court of Appeals Affirms Dismissal of Franchisor and Awards Attorney Fees and Costs
The Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the Rule 12(b)(5) dismissal of premises liability and negligence claims, and an award of attorney fees and costs, in favor of a franchisor when Plaintiff alleged she tripped and fell at a franchised restaurant. Shareholder Ashley Larson briefed the motion to dismiss and subsequent appeal, and argued the case at Oral Argument.
Cara Knight and Jackie Booker Win Summary Judgment Dismissing Bad Faith Claims
Cara Knight and Jackie Booker obtained summary judgment in favor of an insurer on plaintiff’s common law and statutory bad faith claims. The UIM insurer investigated the claim and declined to pay benefits because plaintiff was likely more at fault for the accident. The insurer filed a motion for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s extra-contractual claims arguing Plaintiff could not establish that the insurer acted unreasonably in violation of an industry standard. The Court ultimately held that no reasonable jury could find that the insurer unreasonably decided liability adversely to Plaintiff and dismissed the bad faith and unreasonable delay and denial claims.
Katie Johnson and Rachel Jennings Obtain Favorable Verdict in Admitted Liability Premises Case
Katie Johnson and Rachel Jennings obtained a favorable verdict in an admitted liability case on behalf of a large retailer. Plaintiff sought over $1,000,000 in economic losses for past medical expenses and wage loss, and future wage loss for the claimed inability to return to work. The jury awarded $30,157.57 in past medical expenses and wage loss, and $0 for noneconomic losses or physical impairment. Because the plaintiff failed to beat the retailer’s pre-trial offer of settlement, judgment was entered in favor of the retailer for trial costs.
