Law360 recently recognized the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision in United Services Automobile Association et al. v. Wenzell as one of the “4 Big Colorado Rulings So Far In 2026.” Spencer Fane attorneys Jeremy Moseley and Evan Stephenson represented USAA in this insurance case, which was cited as “the first significant interpretation of Colorado’s non-cooperation statutes.”
In April 2026, Jeremy and Evan successfully argued that the Colorado Court of Appeals interpreted Section 10-3-1118 too broadly, leading the Supreme Court to reverse the lower court’s ruling in favor of their client’s position. According to Law360, the decision’s narrower interpretation of the statute “reshape[s] insurers’ cooperation defenses.”
Beyond discussion of Wenzell, Law360 also featured Evan’s insights on another decision in the publication’s ‘4 Big’ roundup. In his analysis of Reesa Bohanan v. Esurance Property & Casualty Insurance Co., he noted the Court of Appeals decision “declined to imagine what the outer parameters” of expanding insurer disclosure obligations might be and observed a potential “gray area” carrying potential liability risk for insurers.
