The Denver, Colorado, team of Laura Ellenberger (Of Counsel), Chris Yvars (Partner), and Benjamin Bakula (Associate) secured a complete pre-trial dismissal in a case where the plaintiff initially demanded $5 million for alleged injuries from a claimed hit-and-run accident involving a delivery van displaying the branding of a well-known international corporation. Although third-party video captured the incident, the team’s investigation raised concerns that the accident may have been staged. Through aggressive discovery and proactive investigation, they uncovered the plaintiff’s history of injury claims and identified strikingly similar allegations of injury. Armed with this evidence, they successfully challenged causation and credibility. The Denver District Court dismissed all claims before trial and ordered reimbursement of our client’s defense costs.
