NBC 9 News Too Many Colorado Lawyers? Attorney Jim Chalet

The ethical and economic problems of having so many lawyers in Colorado. Jim Chalat says the real problem is that too many lawyers fighting for too few clients puts many in an economic crunch. Some lawyers take cases that are outside their abilities, cut corners, and commit acts which have led to an increase in the size of malpractice judgments.

NBC 9 News Statutory Cap Monetary Limits Attorney Jim Chalat

Colorado statutory cap limits the amount of money you can recover when a public employee is negligent. The current statutory cap, established 20 years ago, is $150,000. Since then medical costs have soared since then. If you were to buy $150,000 worth of medical services in 1979, it would cost you more than half a million dollars to replace those services today,” says Attorney Jim Chalat. “These types of governmental immunity statues are the ultimate special interest legislation”.

Nathan Hall Trial Skiing Accident Denver Colorado Attorney

Nathan Hall was accused of skiing out of control and colliding with another skier, killing him. Lawyer Jim Chalat, who has handled many ski injury cases, said the outcome of Hall’s case isn’t as important as the message of the case sliding off the slopes and into the courtroom. If you go skiing, and you ski recklessly, and someone is hurt as a result, then you are responsible just as you would be if you were driving recklessly.

What's New

But we are also very involved in the greater community. Our community support is typically donation funds coupled with significant volunteer time commitments. As a small firm, we believe it is essential for our donations to be effectively utilized, and by volunteering directly to work with a community organization we give even more back to our community as well as ensure good use of the donated monies.

Being committed advocates for quality public education, we have offered significant support to these educational programs:

Colorado Bar Association High School Mock Trial Program

The goals of the Colorado High School Mock Trial Program are to promote an appreciation for American judicial system and court procedures; to build and improve basic life skills such as critical thinking, public speaking, reading, reasoning, team collaboration, persuasive argument, and advocacy; and to increase communication and cooperation between the legal and educational communities.

Great Education Colorado

Great Education Colorado is a nonpartisan, statewide, grassroots organization of parents and other public school supporters that advocates for adequate funding for public education in Colorado.

DBA Community Action Network Annual School Supply Drive

This past school year, more than 60 law firms collected enough school supplies to fill an entire DPS classroom! The Community Action Network donated the items to DPS's Educational Outreach Program, an entity of DPS that provides assistance to the more than 800 children that are identified as homeless in the Denver school system.

DBA Community Action Network Snow Carnival

The Denver Bar Association's CAN Snow Carnival was a great success in 2008. Close to $25,000 ($10,000 more than in 2006) was raised for Children's Outreach Project, which provides early childhood and kindergarten education to "typical, gifted, and developmentally delayed children" in the Denver-metro area.

Lakewood Senior High School After Prom

After Prom is a free, safe party at Lakewood High School open to all LHS juniors and seniors as an alternative to unsupervised parties following Prom.

Havern School's Annual Garden Party

Havern School provides a specialized education program for elementary and middle school students with learning disabilities.

The nature of our work brings us in contact with many families who have suffered the terrible loss of a child. Witnessing this grief firsthand informs our decision to provide support to:

The Children's Hospital Neuro-Oncology Research Fund

Fund supports research efforts being conducted in neuro-oncology and other areas of childhood cancer

Colorado SIDS Program

The mission of The Colorado SIDS Program, Inc. is to provide support and counseling to families, friends, and communities who experience or are affected by a SIDS death; educate first responders and other professionals who deal with SIDS deaths; and provide education throughout Colorado about SIDS, risk reduction, and latest research; and help fund and support SIDS research.

And finally, having represented hundreds of injured skiers, we appreciate the beauty of the sport as well as the need for adequate safety equipment. To these two ends we support:

St. Anthony Health Foundation Ski Helmet Program

A large research and surveillance effort to track both the use of helmets on-slope and the impact of ski helmets on head injury reductions.

RMD United States Ski and Snowboard Association

Rocky Mountain Divisions of the USSA, an Olympic sports organization dedicated to fielding the best skiing and snowboarding teams in the world

The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD)

NSCD began in 1970 as a one-time ski lesson for children with amputations for the Children's Hospital of Denver. Today, the NSCD is one of the largest outdoor therapeutic recreation agencies in the world. Each year, thousands of children and adults with disabilities take to the ski slopes, mountain trails and golf courses to learn more about sports - and themselves. Chalat Hatten & Koupal proudly sponsors a competitive disabled skier through this program.

All our efforts may not be novel or ground-breaking, but we feel notable none the less for consistency and dedication!
