Slip and Fall

Most commonly, when a person falls on property owned by another, somewhere along the line a system failure occurred. Someone failed to institute a process or procedure that would have protected the injured party, and as a result, the injury occurred. It is rarely as simple as “water was on the floor and someone slipped.” More often, these types of cases involve “powers that be” who should have made a decision to protect the public years prior and didn’t. They cut corners to save dollars and someone got hurt. Premises Liability claims cover a very unique corner of Colorado law. The most common type of premises liability cases is the slip and fall. However, there are many other versions of a premises liability case – such a civil rights violations, preventable assaults, security failures, and construction defects. The first rule of thumb for a premises case, or a slip and fall, is that it cannot simply be treated like any other injury claim. Because it’s not.

To properly handle a premises claim, experts, investigators, and skilled attorneys must work together from the very beginning to identify where the system error occurred and how it affected the safety of the injured party.
