Babar Waheed won his first district court jury trial in the very first week that the Colorado Supreme Court swore him in to practice law. Beginning with that first jury trial, Babar has committed to representing the people against the powerful, the courageous against corporations, and individuals against insurance companies. Today, Babar is the managing member of Dan Caplis Law.

In 2019, Babar represented a brother and sister at trial after the defendant-driver, working for a transport company, fell asleep behind the wheel and crashed into the family vehicle at 75 miles per hour. Both parents were killed and the siblings suffered significant injuries. The jury returned a verdict for over $25 million and found that the transport company was responsible for the driver’s negligence.
