Partner Andrew Lavin and Associate William Dewey obtained dismissal from the District Court, City and County of Denver, Colorado, based on a motion to dismiss.
The plaintiff pursued three tort claims: unfair and deceptive trade practices, bad faith breach of an insurance contract, and failure to protect personal information. The court agreed that the firm's client, the website for Colorado residents to obtain health insurance, was a government entity that was immune to these tort claims. The court also agreed that the plaintiff failed to allege facts supporting a breach of contract claim.
