Jason Thomas Sandene is a seasoned personal injury and trial attorney, dedicating his legal career to guiding and advocating for injured clients as they navigate the complexities of the legal system and the litigation process.
Jason's journey into law was uniquely influenced by his experiences and a deep sense of empathy. After the tragic events of September 11th, at the age of 17, he made a remarkable choice—to enlist in the U.S. Army. His 21st birthday was marked by service in Iraq, where he served as a sergeant in a transportation battalion. Following his deployment, Jason returned to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where he pursued his education with the support of the G.I. Bill. It was here that he resolved to attend law school and become an advocate for those who have endured injuries through no fault of their own, inspired by witnessing his own mother's struggle with pain and anxiety after a back injury terminated her nursing career and restricted her active lifestyle.
Upon completing his legal education, Jason gained acceptance into the Iowa State Bar but was swiftly drawn to Denver, a city he had come to love during a visit that summer. He embraced an entry-level position at a well-known personal injury law firm in Denver, embarking on a journey that would span a decade. As an associate attorney, he honed his skills while climbing the ranks in various Colorado law firms, both large and small, all with a common focus—representing injured individuals against insurance companies. This hands-on experience, working with hundreds of clients, provided Jason with an invaluable education in the intricacies of personal injury claims and allowed him to master the facets of litigation that law school alone could not teach. His tenure as an associate attorney also afforded him the opportunity to observe what distinguished law firms did exceptionally well and identify areas where he believed improvements could be made to enhance the client experience and achieve superior outcomes.
Throughout his legal career, Jason has earned a reputation as a fervent advocate for his clients. He has demonstrated a willingness to take on even the most challenging or modest cases, advocating for justice and pursuing what is in the best interest of his clients, including taking cases to trial when necessary. His tenacity has resulted in some of the state's largest jury verdicts when insurance companies have failed to provide fair settlements. His dedication to the cause has led to his recognition as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in Colorado for representing plaintiffs in civil claims. Jason is an active member of esteemed legal associations, including the Denver Bar Association, Colorado Bar Association, Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, and the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys.
Outside the courtroom, Jason relishes his free time with his beloved wife, Dana, and their rescue pup, Lilly, embarking on new adventures and exploring new places. When not immersed in legal work, he can often be found in the mountains or participating in various sports, with the exception of golf. Additionally, he remains a devoted fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, steadfast through the highs and lows.
