Hydroplaning Accidents in Colorado…
Spring is in the air and all of us who live in Colorado know what that means… We’ll experience every season in the next couple of months: winter, spring, summer, and fall. We may have a high of 75 with loads of sun on Monday and Tuesday will bring sleet, then snow, then rain.
(more…) Four Leading Causes of Semi Truck Crashes in Color…
With the beautiful mountains of Colorado, come some pretty turbulent driving conditions, especially for the truckers. It wasn’t too long ago a semi truck driver on I-70 in Golden lost control, causing a fiery accident that killed four surrounding drivers and injured several others.
(more…) Filing a Wrongful Death Claim after a Car Accident…
Even those of you who drive following all of the Colorado driving laws and rules, use proper road etiquette, and take driving safely seriously are put at risk every day you get into a vehicle. Why? Because just because you’re doing it the right way, doesn’t mean everyone else is. In fact, everyone else most certainly is not.
(more…) Questions are Common After a Tragedy…
Many people struggle to understand why wrongful death lawsuits exist. After all, no one can bring back someone who passes, and sometimes we hear about wrongful death suits being filed in cases where someone also faced criminal charges. So why do they exist? What is the purpose? Here are some of our answers to the frequently asked questions about wrongful death.
(more…) Family sues Vail Resorts after losing son in avala…
The parents of an Eagle teenager have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Vail Resorts after losing their son to an avalanche in January.
The suit alleges the resort failed to close off a dangerous section during an avalanche warning. The teenager went into one of the areas that remained open under the impression it would be safe. He was killed in an avalanche in that section of the resort.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center issued an avalanche warning for that morning. The wrongful death suit claims Vail Resorts failed to uphold its responsibility to heed such warnings.
Our condolences go out to the family in their time of loss.
Man’s family blames biking app for his death…
An Oakland, California, man's family is suing running and bicycling app Strava after he was killed while making an attempt at breaking a speed record.
The app records a user's speed and time for stretches of roads. Users can compete with one another by publicly sharing their times for the same areas. After discovering that someone bested his time for a particular route, the man departed to reclaim his title. He ran into a car while traveling at least 10 mph above the posted speed limit of 30 mph.
The lawsuit alleges that the design of the app encourages people to speed, putting them in dangerous, potentially deadly situations. Strava is denying responsibility, citing the fact that it is not involved in the creation of running or biking routes. Strava claims that it removes the ones that are reported to be hazardous.
Bicycle accidents are particularly dangerous because bicycles do not offer the same level of protection that cars do. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a bicycle accident, contact the bicycle accident attorneys of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., at (303) 423-1770.
Family sues ski area after man dies in avalanche…
The widow of a skier who was tragically killed in a January avalanche at the Winter Park ski area is suing its operator, Intrawest.
The 28-year-old man, a father of two, was skiing in a designated safe area on January 22. Reports indicate that he triggered a 40-foot-wide avalanche that barreled 30 feet down the hill, burying him. Rescuers later discovered his gloved hand protruding from the snow.
The lawsuit against the ski area claims that its operators should have known that the area was unsafe and restricted skiers from accessing it, or at the very least warned them of the avalanche danger.
When a person is killed in a ski area, it can be difficult to determine who is at fault. Our condolences go out to this man's family.
