Shirley Nelson v. United States of America
Date: 04-01-2024
Case Number: 1:23-cv-01813
Judge: Kathryn A. Starnella
Court: United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Denver County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Justin E. Mosery and Anthony Michael Hoag
Defendant's Attorney: United States Attorney's Office in Denver
A plaintiff injured by a defendant's wrongful act may file a tort lawsuit to recover money from
that defendant. To name a particularly familiar example of a tort, a person who negligently
causes a vehicular collision may be liable to the victim of that crash. By compelling people who
wrongfully injure others to pay money to their victims, the tort system serves at least two
functions: (1) deterring people from harming others and (2) compensating those who are injured.
