Proven verdicts and settlements
A University of Colorado basketball player was struck from behind in a Denver alley by a police patrol car and dragged beneath it when the officer reversed. After a four-day trial, a Denver jury found the officer 90% at fault and awarded $579,795.65 in damages. The Colorado Governmental Immunity Act cap, which includes costs and interest, limited the judgment to $387,000, and the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed in May 2025. The Colorado Supreme Court denied review that September.
