Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers
Denver, Westminster, Boulder, Arvada and surrounding areas in Colorado
If I sustain a slip and fall injury from a damaged city sidewalk, is the city liable?
You may have a case against the city because municipalities are responsible for keeping sidewalks and streets in good and safe repair. If it can be shown that the city failed to properly maintain the area, you have a good case. Be aware that there are deadlines and other requirements when filing such claims. Hire a knowledgeable lawyer to help you with the rules governing the city in question.
If I am injured in a slip and fall accident during a party I was invited to at a friend's house, can I collect damages?
This depends on if your friend properly informed you about or tried to repair any dangerous areas in and around the home that you would not have recognized as a danger. If an injury could have been avoided by taking precautions, the homeowner may be liable for your injuries.
What responsibilities do property owners have regarding ice and snow removal to avoid slip and fall injuries?
The law generally doesn't require a property owner to remove ice and snow that accumulates outside of a building as a result of weather conditions. But, if conditions on the property cause an unnatural accumulation of snow or ice, the property owner may then be liable for injuries to visitors or employees. If a property owner does elect to provide snow and ice removal on the premises, they must keep this service diligent because visitors, residents or employees have the right to expect the continued service.
Under what circumstances should a property owner have known about a potentially dangerous situation?
In most cases, the law says a property owner should have known about a dangerous condition when it has existed for a long enough time period that a reasonably responsible and careful person would have discovered it or been informed about it.
Does someone warning a store employee about a spill or other potential danger prove that a slip and fall could have been avoided with responsible action?
Yes, if an employee was given notification of a dangerous condition and it was not taken care of, it helps to establish that the owner knew about the problem and neglected to correct it.
