Extreme & Outrageous Conduct
I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I’ve definitely learned a lot.
-Miley Cyrus
When someone chooses to make a mistake and you become their learning opportunity, you don’t have to be their stepping stone; you can assist them in “learning” accountability. Their actions just may rise to the level of extreme and outrageous conduct.
Outrageous conduct must be so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community. See Churchey v. Adolph Coors Co., 759 P.2d 1336, 1350 (Colo.1988).
So what is an example of extreme and outrageous conduct? If you were to tell someone the facts of the situation and they would exclaim “Outrageous!” then you may have a claim. On this type of claim, it is imperative that you contact Mark Anthony Law to discuss whether your experience rises to a valid claim.
Under C.R.S. § 13-80-102(a), the statute of limitations for extreme and outrageous conduct is 2 years. Therefore, the window is relatively small to act on an extreme and outrageous conduct claim.
