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:
$200,000
A middle aged was injured in a Denver car accident, where he sustained a fractured hand, requiring surgery. He had wage loss since he couldn’t use his hand for several months. Although it appeared the at fault driver only had $100,000 in insurance coverage, we determined we could “stack” two policies together, and obtained the fully policy limits of $200,000 for him.
$200,000
Our client was cycling near Estes Park where he was hit by a motorist, sustaining several orthopedic injuries. Tenge Law was able to secure full policy limits between two insurance policies of $100,000 each, for a total pre-litigation resolution of $200,000.00. Our client did not have health insurance, but we were able to get his hospital and other medical bills reduced substantially so he received a majority of the settlement, despite the fact his original medical expenses exceeded $200,000.
$190, 000
Our client, a medical provider in town, was involved in a automobile accident in Boulder where he sustained hip and back injuries, without surgery. He had a pre-existing hip condition for years prior to the accident. We obtained a policy limits settlement ($100,000) from the insurance company of the at fault driver, then made a claim for underinsured motorist benefits for another $90,000 for a total of $190,000.
$190,000
Our client was involved in a car accident and sustained a head injury. His long term disability insurance company completely denied his long term disability claim and offered him nothing because they denied he was injured at all. Before filing suit, the disability insurance company denied liability. He was also only 4 years from retirement, where the disability policy would have been null and void in any event. We sued the disability insurance company and within 2 months obtained $190,000 for our client.
$190,000
Our client sustained a low back injury and a fractured arm while riding as a passenger in a car in Louisville. He had a history of prior back complaints, but did sustain wage loss and wasn’t able to use his arm for couple of months.
$188, 000
We obtained a $188,000 settlement for a college student student who suffered a fractured leg, requiring surgery, after a car illegally turned in front of him while he was riding his motorcycle.
$172,000
We obtained a $172,000 settlement for a college student who suffered a concussion, and a fractured foot, requiring surgery, after a car illegally turned in front of her while she was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle in Boulder.
$130,000
Our client sustained neck and back injuries after being involved in a rear end trucking accident. We obtained a $130,000 settlement without having to file a lawsuit.
$120,000
We represented an older woman who slipped and fell at a fast food restaurant in Greeley. Her primary injury was a torn miniscus in her knee, which was surgically repaired. She had no wage loss and was previously on disability for over a decade. Despite a history of knee problems, we filed suit and settled the case in litigation for $120,000.
