After a Colorado Supreme Court decision disallowed the offset of workers’ compensation benefits against payments for uninsured motorist benefits, the client, a national insurance provider, was sued in a putative class action case alleging common law and statutory bad faith claims.

That work revealed that the class lacked numerosity, and our firm used that information to negotiate a stipulated dismissal of all class claims.
