Type of Claim: Wrongful death – bicycle/auto collision and request for punitive damages.
Verdict Summary:
Ryan Montoya was an impaired driver. He admitted liability for injury, economic and non-economic damages suffered by Michael Inglis. Michael Inglis and his wife, Gwen Inglis, were riding their bicycles in a bike lane on May 16, 2021. Montoya was operating his vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol and after being awake and gambling in Central City for 48 hours. He veered into the bike lane where his Nissan Maxima nearly collided with Michael Inglis and struck cyclist Gwen Inglis. Gwen Inglis, a competitive cyclist, died as a result of her injuries.
Michael Inglis sought economic and non-economic losses plus punitive damages for the reckless, willful and wanton conduct of Montoya for his decision to drive when impaired by drugs. Montoya initially denied negligence but admitted he was liable for negligently causing the collision. Montoya had received a DUI two weeks before the collision and had another DUI several years before. He disputed that his driving was wanton and reckless, and denied that punitive damages should be awarded.
Verdict: For the plaintiff: $100,000,000 for non-economic damages; $3,000,000 for economic damages; $250,000,000 for punitive damages. Total: $353,000,000.
Note: Post-trial motions are pending including Michael Inglis’ motion to determine that the vehicular homicide to which Montoya pleaded guilty constitutes a felonious killing for which the damage caps would not apply. Michael Inglis filed a motion to treble punitive damages to $300,000,000, an increase of $50,000. Montoya filed a motion to reduce the punitive damages to an amount equal to actual damages.

Case No.: 2020CV 30751
Judge: 2nd Judicial District Court Judge Shelley Gilman
Trial Dates: April 4-13, 2022
Plaintiff’s Attorneys: Christopher Cormier (Burns Charest, LLP), Washington, D.C.; Daniel H. Charest (Burns Charest, LLP), Dallas, Texas, and Lance Astrella (Astrella Law, PC), Denver, Colorado
Defendants’ Attorneys: Black Hills Corporation and Black Hills Exploration and Production, Inc.: Jonathon D. Bergman and Jennifer S. Allen (Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP), Denver, Colorado Black Hills Gas Resources, Inc.: Michael J. Wozniak and Malinda Morain (Beatty & Wozniak, PC), Denver, Colorado
Type of Claim: Intentional interference with prospective business advantage (against Black Hills Gas Exploration and Production and Black Hills Corporation), and breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing (against Black Hills Gas Resources).
Verdict Summary:
GT Resources sued Black Hills Corporation and two of its subsidiaries, Black Hills Exploration & Production and Black Hills Gas Resources. GT Resources’ claims are based on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves in Costa Rica. In 2000, George Mallon, founder and CEO of Mallon Resources Corporation, entered into an agreement with Mallon Resources Corporation, and Mallon subsequently assigned the agreement to GT Resources. The agreement provided that if an exploration contract was obtained from the Costa Rica government, Mallon would have a 3% royalty in all revenues from oil and gas production in a 2.3-million-acre natural gas and oil concession in Costa Rica and an assignment of any exploration contract if Mallon Resources Corporation elected to abandon or relinquish the contract. In 2003, Black Hills Corporation acquired Mallon Resources Corporation and formed a separate subsidiary, Black Hills Gas Resources, which acquired the concession. Black Hills Gas Resources became a subsidiary of Black Hills Exploration & Production, which was a subsidiary of Black Hills Corporation.
GT Resources alleged Black Hills didn’t pursue the steps necessary to obtain an exploration contract including filing an environmental impact statement. GT Resources claimed Black Hills Gas Resources breached an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing by failing to reasonably pursue the signing of the exploration contract when it owned the concession. GT Resources also alleged Black Hills Corporation and Black Hills Exploration & Production prevented Black Hills Gas Resources from filing the environmental impact statement needed to obtain the exploration contract and intentionally interfered with the prospective business advantage that GT Resources expected to receive from the agreement. GT Resources claimed the concession expired based on the defendants’ inaction.
Black Hills Gas Resources claimed the Costa Rica government didn’t issue the approvals to explore for oil and gas in the concession despite substantial efforts by Black Hills Gas Resources. The defendants denied GT Resources’ claims and disputed the amount of GT Resources’ claimed damages.
Verdict: For GT Resources and against Black Hills Gas Resources on the breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, $8,000,000. For GT Resources and against Black Hills Exploration and Production on the intentional interference with prospective business advantage, $1. For GT Resources and against Black Hills Corporation on the claim of intentional interference with prospective business advantage, $33,000,000.
Note: GT Resources filed a bill of costs of $572,448.75 and is seeking prejudgment and post-judgment interest. The defendants have filed post-trial motions.

Verdict Summary:
In late May and June 2020, the 12 plaintiffs and thousands of others protested in Denver.

The plaintiffs alleged the City and County of Denver failed to properly train its officers which led to their injuries during the demonstrations.

The plaintiffs maintained they were peaceful protestors and didn’t engage in any violent or destructive behavior. Elisabeth Epps also claimed Denver Police Officer Jonathan Christian shot her during the protests in Denver’s city center. The defendants denied the plaintiffs’ claims and alleged that the police officers acted reasonably. The defendants said Denver Police officers were fully and properly trained and Denver’s official policies and its practices and customs applicable at the time were in conformance with established constitutional law. The defendants said Denver Police officers were faced with violent and destructive behavior from some among the thousands of protestors and more than 70 police officers were injured. The defendants said only two plaintiffs received any medical treatment at all, and only one plaintiff submitted any medical bills; the defendants claimed the other plaintiffs had no physical injuries.

Cheryl Emmons, John Emmons, Verna Elliott, Floyd Elliott and Marsha Davis-Wilmeth v. Paul B. Jones and Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado, PC, formally known as Gynecologic Obstetrical Associates of Western Colorado, PC
Case No.: 2019 CV 30459
Judge: 21st Judicial District Judge Matthew Barrett
Trial Dates: April 14-27, 2022
Plaintiffs’ Attorneys: Patrick Fitz-Gerald, Eric Driskell and Scott Ray (Driskell Fitz-Gerald & Ray, LLC), Denver, Colorado
Defendants’ Attorneys: Paul B. Jones: Nancy Cohen and Nicole Marie Black (Cohen Black Law, LLC), Denver, Colorado. Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado: Ivan Sarkissian (McConaughy & Sarkissian), Denver, Colorado
Type of Claim: Medical malpractice: professional negligence, negligent misrepresentation, deceit based on fraud, medical battery, outrageous conduct and request for punitive damages (against Paul B. Jones) and negligence (against Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado)
Verdict Summary:
In 2019, 18 plaintiffs consisting of mothers and children filed this lawsuit alleging Dr. Paul B. Jones used his own semen to artificially inseminate some of his patients at Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado, and those procedures resulted in the birth of nine children. Jones, an obstetrician/gynecologist, was an owner and vice president of Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado, PC. The court dismissed the children’s cases on summary judgment, and some mothers settled with the defendants before trial.
The remaining plaintiffs claimed Jones was professionally negligent for using his own semen in the artificial insemination procedures. The plaintiffs alleged Jones negligently misrepresented to the patient plaintiffs that the sperm for the procedures would come from anonymous donors. The plaintiffs sought non-economic damages and punitive damages. Jones initially denied the plaintiffs’ allegations, but genetic testing confirmed the claims. The defendants asserted the defense of statute of limitations and claimed the plaintiffs knew or with the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known before Oct. 28, 2016, that Jones was the sperm donor. The defendants claimed the plaintiffs failed to mitigate their damages. Women’s Healthcare of Western Colorado asserted the corporate practice of medicine doctrine precluded liability from being imposed on the clinic. The plaintiffs’ claims of wrongful conduct occurred between 1975 and 1989.
Verdict: The defendants didn’t prove the statute of limitations defense.
Note: Judgment entered as follows: for Cheryl Emmons and against Jones, $4,028.698.27 including interest and against Women’s Health Care of Western Colorado, $350,321.61 including interest.
