Malcolm Mead Biography :

Hall & Evans has litigated more civil appeals in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals than any other Colorado law firm as well as more civil appeals before the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Colorado Supreme Court. Malcolm S. Mead is a member of this group. The practice of appellate law provides the opportunity to actually touch and shape the law of Colorado. It is exciting because it reaches beyond the immediate parties involved in the case and establishes a rule of law for the entire state. Decisions rendered in many of the cases litigated by Malcolm S. Mead before the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals have been published in the state’s official law books. Three of these cases changed state law on insurance, exculpatory contracts and attorneys’ fees: Today, Colorado follows the common-sense rule that an exclusion for injuries arising out of the use of an automobile encompasses injuries caused by the negligent entrustment of an automobile. This is the result of the 1989 Colorado Supreme Court decision in Northern Insurance Co. of New York v. Ekstrom, and involved overturning two Colorado Court of Appeals decisions, Ekstrom as well as the Day opinion that had held for the previous seven years. Many residents and visitors value Colorado for its myriad recreational resources involving activities that are often inherently dangerous. By the use of exculpatory agreements or contracts signed by participants, providers are protected from excessive liability. Prior to the 1989 Colorado Supreme Court decision in Heil Valley Ranch, Inc., v. Simkin, these agreements had to include the word negligence in order to be enforceable. After this case, such documents are enforceable (and bar all lawsuits for negligence) so long as they clearly express an intent to extinguish liability. Confusing third-party claims with first party claims, courts in Colorado had sometimes awarded attorneys’ fees as an element of damages in claims for bad faith breach of insurance contract that arose in a first-party context. The 1996 Colorado Supreme Court decision in Bernhard v. Farmers Insurance Exchange clarified once and for all that these fees were not recoverable as an element of damages.In addition, Malcolm has been involved in briefing extensive legal questions before the district courts of Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Missouri, and Wyoming. Prior to joining the firm in 1984, Malcolm worked as a staff attorney for the Colorado Court of Appeals, gaining insight into the inner workings of the appeals process.Publications Cross-Appeals in the Colorado and Federal Court Systems, Colorado Lawyer, Aug. 1996.
