Obtained Six-Figure Judgment Against Delinquent LLC

In Colorado, it’s common for SUV owners to upgrade their vehicles for offroading and other recreational purposes. Many small businesses specialize in upgrades for different makes and models, but not all shop owners can be trusted. 

We had a client who invested a large sum into their SUV for an offroading trek. 

Unfortunately, the upgrades resulted in an overall downgrade of the vehicle, including a significantly damaged transmission. The shop’s attempt to fix the problem only exacerbated the issues. 

As our client continued to report additional problems with the SUV, the shop owner stopped responding. 

When a new repair shop inspected the SUV and determined it was unsafe to drive, the vehicle’s owner hired Robinson & Henry’s Litigation Team. 

Our litigation attorneys reviewed the facts of the matter and determined this case involved negligence and fraud. In Colorado, a customer is legally entitled to three times the actual damages if a motor vehicle repair facility or its employee fails to comply with motor vehicle repair regulations. C.R.S. 42-9-113

We used this statute as the basis for the complaint we filed in a Colorado district court. The company failed to respond, so we sought a default judgment against the defendant, plus interest and attorney fees. 

The court granted our motions, quadrupling our client’s initial investment and unlocking the financial resources to make an informed decision about the fate of this vehicle.
