Injured in a Fall? You May Have a Case.

Slip and fall accidents happen fast—but the consequences can last a lifetime. In Colorado, property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe. If they don’t, and you’re injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding Premises Liability in Colorado

Premises liability is the legal concept that holds property owners accountable for dangerous conditions on their property. These can include:

• Icy sidewalks and un-shoveled walkways
• Spilled liquids or slick floors in grocery stores
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Broken railings or uneven pavement
• Failure to post warning signs near hazards

Colorado law distinguishes between trespassers, licensees (social guests), and invitees (like customers in a store). Property owners owe the highest duty of care to invitees. If you're injured as an invitee, the owner must have either known or reasonably should have known about the hazard.

What Property Owners Must Do

Under Colorado law, property owners must:

• Regularly inspect their property for hazards
• Promptly fix or block off dangerous conditions
• Warn visitors of any known risks
• Comply with local building codes and safety regulations

Failure to do so may make them liable for injuries under a fall injury lawsuit.

Where These Accidents Commonly Occur

• Supermarkets and retail stores
• Apartment complexes
• Office buildings
• Public sidewalks and parking lots
• Hotels and restaurants

Filing a Slip and Fall Lawsuit

To succeed in a slip and fall Colorado case, you need to prove:

• A dangerous condition existed on the property
• The property owner knew or should have known about it
• The condition directly caused your injury

Gathering evidence early is crucial. This includes photos of the hazard, witness statements, incident reports, and medical records. Surveillance footage from the property may also help strengthen your case.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If you win your case, you could receive compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Rehabilitation costs
