DGS represented a general contractor in an appeal from the trial court's ruling that a severely injured painter could sue for unlimited damages.  The painter was an independent contractor and not entitled to workers' compensation benefits, and he had not purchased workers' compensation insurance to cover himself.  In a Rule 21 appeal directly to the Colorado Supreme Court, DGS attorneys Andy Low, Dick Holme and Liz Titus successfully argued that the painter's tort suit was subject to a $15,000 cap on damages contained in the Workers' Compensation Act.
