About Sean Dormer
Sean Dormer is a personal injury attorney and partner at Dormer Harpring Denver Personal Injury Lawyers. He focuses on difficult cases that other attorneys have rejected, including challenging insurance settlement offers to secure higher judgments.
Notable verdicts include a $2.51 million verdict in a multi-car crash and a $1.77 million jury verdict in a 2017 grocery store injury case (which settled for $2.1 million after additional costs and damages). He has been recognized in the Top 20 Colorado Verdicts (2023), Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Forbes Best Personal Injury Attorneys, and the Top 100 High Stakes Litigators.
Dormer earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado School of Law and his Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. During law school, he was significantly influenced by his work as a student attorney in CU Law School's Defense Clinic, representing clients with limited financial means in criminal and immigration matters.
Proven verdicts and settlements
A federal jury returned a $4 million verdict against Saguache County Jail officials after finding that staff ignored repeated suicidal statements made by 27-year-old Jackson Maes before his death in November 2019.
Rick Hartkopp, a construction site superintendent, was hurt in a February 2019 crash on I-25 caused by an uninsured driver and sued his own insurer, State Farm, over the uninsured motorist benefits it would not pay. After a four-day trial in June 2023, a federal jury in Denver set his damages at $2.4 million. Judge Robert E. Blackburn entered final judgment against both State Farm defendants for $1,180,053.17 in September 2023, and no appeal followed.
