The principal trial lawyer of the
Avery Law Firm, James W. “Jim” Avery, has handled some of the
largest and most complex cases in Colorado history in the areas of personal
injury, insurance bad faith, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, product
liability and commodities fraud litigation, with amazing results. Perhaps because of such results, and
demonstrated talent in the courtroom, Jim Avery was named a Super Lawyer in 2006 and again in 2007.
This is the most recent of many outstanding lawyer and leadership awards
which he has received.
In a confidential settlement, the founder of AVERY LAW FIRM, Jim Avery, settled what was said (by the settlement judge) to be the largest malpractice settlement in Colorado since the advent of tort reform legislation in the mid-1980's. Although state law purports to place a cap of $1 million on malpractice awards, Mr. Avery was able to negotiate a settlement in a malpractice case for over $4 million, on behalf of a brain injured baby.
Mr. Avery has also served as the lead attorney in
other cases garnishing national recognition to the firm.
In the 1980's,
Mr. Avery represented a large group of claimants in a $30 million commodities
fraud case against Western Monetary Consultants and its principal, William R.
Kennedy, Jr..
Mr. Avery tried the case to a Ft. Collins jury which awarded punitive
damages against WMC, then later obtained a muli-million
dollar court award against Mr. Kennedy.
After successfully completing the civil damage claim, Mr. Avery turned
the case over to the United States Attorneys office in Colorado, which
successfully prosecuted Mr. Kennedy for racketeering, who is now serving time
in a federal prison. The case was
one of the first in the country to utilize federal racketeering law to obtain a
monetary damage award in a civil case.
The case was widely reported in Colorado and California, including
extensive coverage in the San Diego Tribune. CASE
WON!
In the 1990's,
Mr. Avery represented a large group of claimants in a medical malpractice case
against Denver=s Children=s Hospital and various pediatric surgeons, arising
from a so called epidemic called craniosynostosis. Mr. Avery represented dozens of families
who alleged that their infant sons and daughters had unnecessary skull surgery
after having been misdiagnosed by a prominent neurosurgeon and plastic
surgeon. The case was reported
several times on the front page of the Denver Post (October, 1995 and
thereafter), the Wall Street Journal (February, 1996) and was the subject of a
feature story on ABC=s 20/20 with Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs in April
of 1996. CASE
SETTLED!
In present
decade, Mr. Avery represented a U.S. Air Force pilot who suffered a mild brain
injury as a result of a head-on automobile crash caused by two drivers engaged
in road rage. Although there was
only a total of $100,000 insurance coverage available, Mr. Avery was able to
obtain a jury verdict of $1.75 million in the case and collect every penny,
with costs and interest, from Allstate Insurance Company. CASE
WON!
In 2004, Mr.
Avery filed suit against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company for bad faith, unfair
trade practices and consumer fraud on behalf of a poor African-American who
suffered a brain injury in a single vehicle roll-over accident and was
underpaid worker’s compensation benefits. CASE
SETTLED!
In 2006, Mr.
Avery spent 8 weeks in a legal malpractice trial on behalf of a brain injured
survivor against one of the nation’s top lawyers, Houston billionaire
John Eddie Williams Jr., accusing the lawyer of committing malpractice in the
handling of an airplane crash case.
The trial was in Mr. William’s home town, Houston. CASE WON!
