Glen has extensive experience in the area of ski lift accidents and ski area liability, having represented numerous clients in state and federal court against Colorado's prominent ski area industry, including Vail, Aspen, Copper Mountain, Wolf Creek, Crested Butte and POMA corporation. He was co-counsel for plaintiff with Bob Schuetze in Bayer v. Crested Butte, 960 P.2d 70 (Colo. 1998), in which the Colorado Supreme Court established the legal rule that ski area operators owe to their patrons the "highest degree of care" in connection with ski lift operation.
Glen was Colorado counsel in an Americans with Disabilities Act class action brought by disabled Coloradoans against the State of Colorado arising from the State's charging a fee for disabled persons to obtain disabled parking placards. The case was recognized as the "Case of the Year 2008" by the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.
In 1998, Glen represented a young Boulder attorney who had been involved in an automobile accident early in his professional career. A jury awarded the client $450,000, substantially in excess of the $15,000 pretrial offer from the insurance company.
In his many years of practice, Glen has handled literally hundreds of personal injury claims and has tried numerous cases to juries and arbitration panels. These cases have ranged from basic automobile accidents to complex railroad grade crossing collisions, and brain injury and paraplegia claims.
