Notable results
Chad Hemmat and co-counsel secured a $33 million wrongful death verdict for the mother of a 30-year-old Aurora engineer killed when a driver traveling nearly three times the posted speed limit ran a red light and T-boned his car at an I-225 interchange.
After Owners Insurance refused to fairly pay a rear-end collision victim's underinsured motorist claim and offered only $150,000 on a $1 million policy, a federal jury found the insurer liable for breach of contract and statutory bad faith. The district court applied Colorado's unreasonable-delay statute to bring Donald Etherton's judgment to $2.25 million, a result the Tenth Circuit affirmed in full in 2016.
Chad Hemmat secured a $1.2 million jury verdict for Della Gallegos after her former attorney, Patric LeHouillier, allowed the statute of limitations on her brain-tumor medical malpractice claim to expire, leaving her blind in one eye, partially deaf, and unable to work.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
