$3M Permanent Injury from Motor Vehicle Accident read more

$3M “Liz” was a bright-eyed, horse-obsessed young child. When Liz was in an auto accident at 9 years old, she suffered a permanent injury to her ribs, causing her great pain to ride horses and forcing her to consider her physical health every time she made an everyday life decision such as feeding the horses at home and at the barn she worked at. In the state of Colorado, the timer on the statute of limitation for cases involving an injured minor does not start running until the minor turns 18. This Colorado law benefited Liz, as she continued to treat periodically over the years for the flare-ups of her somatic rib dysfunction. Liz’s family hired an attorney to represent her in her personal injury claim, but when the attorney insisted that they would receive no more than $20,000 for her injuries and his firm would not take her case to court, Liz’s mother started looking elsewhere for representation. It turns out that hiring Jess Cash was literally a life-changer. When Liz was 20 years old, the trial began and Jess Cash and Keith Fuicelli took Liz’s case in front of a jury, showing the monumental impact the auto collision had on Liz throughout her childhood, teen years, and more likely than not into her future. The defense argued throughout the trial that since all of her imaging (x-rays, MRI, bone scan) through the years were negative and she was still active that she did not suffer a permanent injury. Jess and Keith were able to show that sometimes injuries don’t show up on an MRI and that just because Liz had bucked up rather than giving up, that was cause for respect and not a discount for the defense. The jury agreed and reached a verdict of $1.5M in Liz’s favor. At this point, another Colorado law came into play: interest on verdicts accrues from the date of the incident until the date of the verdict. In Liz’s case, that doubled her recovery….but Jess Cash didn’t stop there. She worked out a settlement with the insurance company that maximized Liz’s jury verdict recovery and eliminated the possibility of a lengthy defense appeal. The final settlement agreement was $3,055,000 – over $3 Million more than Liz’s first attorney promised her. Jess Cash’s thoughtful and thorough approach to trial preparation results in life-changing outcomes for her clients. (2022)

$2.575M "Tyler" was only 17 when he was seriously injured in a car crash. He suffered from a long list of injuries including a traumatic brain injury, lacerated internal organs, and broken bones.

$1.3M Semi-Truck Collision read more

$1.3M Patrick was driving home on dark and quiet four-lane highway in Southern Colorado when he came across a semi-truck that was blocking the highway. The semi was attempting to back into a driveway. Patrick hit his brakes but was unable to avoid the semi-truck and slammed into it at 35 mph. Patrick sustained numerous serious injuries including fracturing most ribs, a fractured sternum, broken back, and bruised lungs. Patrick spent 4 days in the ICU followed by many months of in-patient rehab recovering. The trucking company’s insurance pushed back hard, claiming Patrick should have been able to stop in time before striking their semi-truck. Even Patrick’s own insurance company initially attributed 51% liability to the trucker and 49% liability to Patrick. Knowing that these initial assessments were not based on all the available facts, Lori Tolle fought hard to persuade the insurance companies the trucker was 100% at fault. Lori hired experts including an investigator to interview eyewitnesses, an engineering firm to gather data from Patrick's car to prove he did attempt to stop and was not negligent in any way, and a trucking safety standards expert to opine about the trucker’s decision to perform this maneuver under all of the attendant circumstances. Facing Lori's multi-pronged approach establishing liability, the insurance companies finally attributed full fault to the trucker. Lori obtained full policy limits from both the trucker’s insurance company and Patrick's underinsured insurance company for a total settlement of $1.3 million. (2023)
