According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Nov. 3, 2017, he was injured in a motor vehicle collision with an uninsured driver near the intersection of Ten Brook Road and Jeffco Boulevard in Jefferson County. He alleges he sustained injuries and incurred medical bills of approximately $10,000 for which he filed a claim for the uninsured motorist coverage under the insurance policy issued by defendant.
