Rob Smeltzer and Brian Orr of Lowis & Gellen obtained a jury verdict of more than one million dollars for their client, Iowa Pacific Holdings, LLC, in the U.S. District Court of Colorado last week. The jury held that Iowa Pacific had a valid and enforceable oral agreement to crew a Ski Train between Denver and Winter Park, CO, even though the parties had yet to sign a final written contract. Iowa Pacific alleged that Amtrak anticipatory breached the oral agreement by indicating it would not provide the crew unless Iowa Pacific first agreed to insurance and indemnity requirements well above those initially agreed upon, and the jury concurred.
