Posted on | September 1, 2010 | Comments Off
www.glasheenlaw.com Glasheen, Valles, Inderman, & DeHoyos LLP Personal Injury Lawyers with Offices in Lubbock, San Angelo, Odessa and El Paso Texas Forklift Accident Injury Case $648000 Net to Client Our client was employed as a forklift operator for an industrial warehouse where his job required him to move large pallets of product in the refrigerator and freezer sections at the facility. During the morning of the accident, he was using a forklift in and around the freezer section of the facility. As on other occasions, operating the forklift in the freezer caused ice to build up on the forklift. As our client was operating the stand-up forklift he attempted to stop and get off the lift. As he did so he slipped on melted ice and water that had accumulated on and around the forklift. The concrete floor was slippery due to water dripping from other product. When our client slipped, his leg became pinned between the forklift and a metal pole. His employer did not carry workers compensation insurance, and were therefore unable to blame our client for any contributory negligence in causing his own injuries.

Colorado Personal Injury Lawyers – New Colorado Insurance Law Punishes Unreasonable Delay and Denial
Posted on | August 27, 2010 | Comments Off
Colorado’s New Law Regulating Insurance Companies for Unreasonable Delay and Denial-Effective August 6, 2008
The new law provides Colorado citizens the power to make sure insurance companies pay claims in a reasonable and timely manner.
What is this new law? House Bill 08-1407. The objective of the law is to put a stop to unreasonable denials or delays by insurance companies. The law increases the penalties on insurance companies for their unreasonable conduct with respect to claims.
“A first-party claimant whose claim for payment of benefits has been unreasonably delayed or denied may bring an action in a district court to recover reasonable attorney fees and court costs, and two times the covered benefit.”
Who benefits from the new law? Colorado citizens claiming insurance benefits from their own insurance company. Injured people in Colorado have been powerless to bring large claims against insurance companies because attorneys’ fees could eat up much of their settlement money. The new law provides Colorado citizens the power to make sure insurance companies pay claims in a reasonable and timely manner by requiring unreasonable insurance companies to pay the owed benefits, double damages, and attorneys’ fees.
For example, let’s say your claim has damages of $30,000 and the insurance company unreasonably delayed or denied the claim. Under the new law you could receive double the $30,000 plus attorneys’ fees (let’s say $10,000). Therefore the insurance company would have to pay you $70,000 ($10,000 of which would pay your attorneys’ fees) for their violation of the new law.
“A person engaged in the business of insurance shall not unreasonably delay or deny payment of a claim for benefits owed to or on behalf of any first-party claimant.”
What type of insurance companies can be penalized by this new law? The law applies to health insurers, disability insurers and nearly any other kind of insurance. The law does not apply to workers’ compensation insurance, life insurance and title insurance. If you believe that workers’ compensation, life insurance, and/or title insurance has unreasonably denied your claim you cannot use this new law, however, you may be able to use other laws to help you seek benefits.
When does the new law go into effect? The new law goes into effect on August 6, 2008. However, the language of the law is not clear as to how that date practically plays out. It is unclear whether the law applies only to claims after August 6, 2008 or if it applies to claims that have been ongoing for the past year or two.
