Attorney Helping Injured Victims in Boulder & Longmont

If you have been injured on the property of a business, homeowner, or public entity, a lawyer at The Law Office of Edward Smith would like to speak with you because you may be able to take a premises liability action.  Premises liability refers to injuries that occur as a result of unsafe conditions on another person's property. The types of premises liability cases can include accidents involving slip and falls, swimming pools, fires, explosions, roof cave-ins, broken glass, animal attacks, faulty store displays and inadequate security. Negligent premises conditions can exist in just about every type of building or open space, including homes, apartment complexes, theaters, malls, sports facilities, amusement parks, government buildings, commercial buildings, farms, and other open land spaces.

Negligent Property Owners & Dangerous Premises

Property owners have a legal duty to use reasonable care to keep their property safe from dangerous conditions. Tenants, property managers, and contractors working on the premises may also be responsible for maintaining the premises in a safe condition and could be liable for injuries which occur on the property as well. If a party has the right to control property, then that party must exercise control in a reasonable manner to prevent foreseeable injuries. If multiple parties have the right to control the property, there may be multiple parties who are liable for an injury, and identifying the proper defendants can be a complex task that will almost always require the assistance of a Boulder premises liability attorney. 

It is often up to a jury to determine whether a property owner or occupier acted reasonably, considering all the circumstances which led to the injury. To decide this, a jury may consider the likelihood that someone would be injured by the unsafe condition and the severity of the potential injuries. A jury might also consider whether the owner knew or should have known about the unsafe condition and how difficult it would have been to correct that condition. Because there are many different types of situations that give rise to premises liability, these cases require careful analysis by a personal injury lawyer.
