NOTICE OF CLAIM
Re: Mr. Jason Coy (Deceased)
Date of Incident: October 24, 2016
Location of Incident: Sports Authority Field at Mile High
Dear Mr. Baker:
Pursuant to C.R.S. 13-21-201 et seq., and C.R.S. 24-10-109, please accept and
process this formal notice of claim as it relates to the untimely death of Mr. Jason Coy,
‘on October 24, 2016, at the Stadium District's Sports Authority Field at Mile High. This
firm makes said claim on behalf of our represented client, Mrs. Leslie A. Coy, as widow
of Jason Coy, and we can be reached at the contact information provided in our
letterhead, above.
On October 24, 2016, while attending a Denver Bronco's football game as an
invitee inside the Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Mr. Coy fell to his death in a fire
escape corridor and staircase, inside the North East concourse of the stadium. The
subject corridor was designed, built, and maintained as a fire evacuation escape route
and egress method for invited game attendees. The corridor and staircase contained a
vault and open shaft that was inherently dangerous to patrons, and Mr. Coy slipped
over a handrail near the top of the staircase, falling to his death, at or near the base
below. We believe that the Stadium District, and others, failed to make the subject
staircase and stairwell, reasonably safe for invited guests/patrons, and this failure led
directly to Mr. Coy’s fatal injuries.
We are currently aware that stadium staff was positioned at the top of the subject
staircase at the time of, or just before Mr. Coy’s fall. We are not aware of any particular
Stadium District employee who was personally responsible by act or omission, and weMr. Raymond T. Baker, Chairman

feel that the stadium structure itself, its management, and precisely, the open vault in
the stairwell was an unreasonably dangerous condition and hazard to all patrons. We
understand that agents of the Stadium Management Company have gathered
investigative information about this incident, and that emergency personnel and Denver
police also have investigative materials in their reporting.
Pursuant to Colorado Law, Ms. Leslie Coy has exclusive claim rights for wrongful
death damage recovery until October 24, 2017. Ms. Coy may seek damages from the
Metropolitan Football Stadium District, and/or others within the time allowed for such
claims, and may seek damage recovery for herself, and on behalf of her children within
the framework of the Colorado Wrongful Death statutes and case law.
The total amount of monetary damages Mrs. Coy may pursue are not fully
developed or known at this time. We expect the later development of both economic
and non-economic damage components. Non-economic damages are limited by
statute against public entities, and economic damages realized by the remaining Coy
family are subject to economic analysis at a later time. We are in the process of
gathering last treatment medical costs, and will provide them upon compilation
Again, please accept this letter as Mrs. Coys satisfaction of her claim notice
duties under Colorado Statute.
Very Truly Yours,
JAMES D. BRAMER, LLC
