Case Results
There is an old saying in the law – “great facts, and great law, make great lawyers”. In other words, any decent lawyer can achieve a large settlement or a big verdict when there is a lucrative insurance policy (or unlimited assets of a corporation) and the client’s injuries are catastrophic. And, we have certainly done that. However, more often than not, people are not injured by someone with unlimited assets or a high dollar insurance policy. The facts may not be so favorable. The law may be gray. Often it is not entirely clear what injuries were caused by the accident. Sometimes the amount of insurance available to cover the loss is not easy to figure out. Many times the insurance company or corporation may refuse to pay any money whatsoever until a highly skilled trial lawyer takes them to task. In these instances, it takes a GREAT lawyer to get GREAT RESULTS. This is what we do day in and day out.
At the Tenge Law Firm our goal is to achieve the best possible result for our clients as soon as possible. Some clients have injuries and medical treatment that requires a long term strategy, while others do not. Each case and each client is different. We work directly with our clients to pursue a case strategy that will result in the maximum recovery in a time frame which works with the client’s medical care and personal situation.
We have enjoyed great success, with exceedingly high client satisfaction, using this approach. Some examples include:
$300,000 – (policy limits) – Auto accident with neck, back and concussion.
Recovered full policy limits for woman injured in a car accident. Her primary injuries included neck, back, head. We used experts to develop the wage and employment losses caused by the accident, which was key to our getting all the money prior to filing long, protracted litigation.
$275,000
Obtained a policy limits settlement for a client who sustained a torn hip ligament during a car accident, requiring 3 surgeries. This was a disputed liability case in which the at-fault driver’s insurance company originally denied all liability for the car accident and refused to pay any money. Moreover, we were able to get our client’s health insurance subrogation claim completely waived, so she did not have to reimburse her health plan for a significant sum in paid medical care.
$275,000 – Auto accident resulting in herniated lumbar disc
Our client was the front seat passenger in a vehicle travelling on CR 13 in Weld County when they T-boned a vehicle that had ran a stop sign. Our client suffered a herniated lumbar disc, sciatica, and radiculopathy. He went through extensive treatment including Facet Block injections, epidural steroid injections, and radiofrequency thermocoagulation. In less than 2 years, our client was paid the full amount of insurance coverage available to him.
$260,000
After filing a lawsuit, and nearly a year of litigation against 2 insurance companies, and their attorneys, we obtained a $260,000 settlement for a chiropractor who was injured by a drunk driver. He sustained injury to his low back which did not require surgery and also a concussion, which was resolved. He also had income losses. The UM insurance carriers’ initial offer was $26,400 before we filed suit.
$250,000 (policy limits) – Car accident with brain injury
Our client was a middle-aged woman who sustained a brain injury after being rear ended by another vehicle. Despite our client having minimal medical treatment and no demonstrable wage losses we were able to obtain a policy limits settlement from the other driver’s insurance company without a lawsuit.
$250,000
We obtained a policy limits settlement for our elderly client who sustained a concussion, and neck and shoulder injuries in a car accident. Additionally, we were able to waive our client’s healthcare subrogation lien.
$250,000 – Rear-end auto accident
Our client was traveling on Colorado 36 pulling a horse trailer when she was rear-ended at 55 mph. Our client broke her nose, suffered from chronic migraines, back pain and radiculopathy. After a 3 year battle, our client was finally given the settlement she deserved from the insurance companies.
$240,000 – Auto accident with neck, back, and wrist injuries
Tenge Law Firm represented a young lady in her early 20s who was rear-ended by another driver in Boulder County. She required surgery on her injured wrist. In order to obtain full and just compensation, we pursued 2 different lawsuits against 3 different insurance companies. We resolved the claims very near to the date of trial. We collected $240,000 for her when the highest offer from the insurance companies before we were involved was $34,000.
$230,000
An elderly gentleman was rear-ended at a slow rate of speed at a railroad crossing in Boulder, injuring his cervical spine. He had a cervical fusion with a good recovery.
