Meet Colorado Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury and Insurance Dispute Attorney R. Mack Babcock

Prior to founding The Babcock Law Firm, LLC, R. Mack Babcock spent many years on the other side of workers’ compensation, personal injury and insurance disputes representing some of the largest insurance companies and corporations in Colorado as an attorney at a midsize insurance defense firm.

He defended hundreds of injury claims in his days at the insurance defense firm which represented clients such as Pinnacol Assurance, State Farm, Hartford, Sentry Insurance, Qwest Communications, Furniture Row and other large companies. He became intimately familiar with the insurance industry’s approach to accident victims.

After seeing firsthand how the system and the insurance industry treat injured individuals and their families, Babcock switched sides and worked at one of Colorado’s premier plaintiffs firms, as a workers’ compensation, personal injury and insurance dispute attorney. He later founded The Babcock Law Firm in order to focus on providing high-quality, aggressive legal representation to injured individuals.

Babcock was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. The workers’ compensation attorney enlisted in the United States Marine Corps out of high school and subsequently completed 8 years of active and reserve duty. Babcock was rapidly promoted during his military service including a meritorious promotion to non-commissioned officer at the ripe young age of 21. He also received significant decoration as a Marine including a Navy Achievement Medal for superior performance of his duties.

Babcock earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Iowa. He continued his legal studies at the University of Denver College of Law where he was inducted into the Order of St. Ives honor society upon graduating in the top of his class. He earned the highest class grades in Administrative Law and Basic Taxation and was a semi-finalist in the Hoffman Cup Trial Advocacy Competition during his final year.

While in law school, Babcock clerked for the Honorable Michael A. Martinez in the Colorado District Courts for the City and County of Denver. He also worked for the District Attorney’s Office for the 18th Judicial District, the Denver City Attorney’s Office Employment Law Section, Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, and several small litigation firms.

Babcock is a member of the Colorado and Denver Bar Associations, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and the Workers’ Compensation Educational Association.  In early 2008, he was elected as the Colorado House District 43 Committee Chairperson for the Douglas County Colorado Democratic Party. In connection with this position, he is responsible for finding a candidate(s) to run for House District 43, overseeing the campaign(s), organizing volunteers, and also sits on the executive committee for the Douglas County Democratic Party.

The Colorado workers’ compensation, insurance dispute, and personal injury attorney is a husband and father of two young children.  When Babcock is not fighting for the rights of clients as a personal injury or workers’ compensation attorney, you’ll find him swimming at the pool or running or biking along one of Colorado’s scenic roads. Babcock has competed in several marathons, road races, and triathlons and is currently training to complete an Ironman triathlon.
