Boulder Premises Liability Attorney

Law Firm Overview

At The Law Office of Edward Smith, we are focused on personal injury law and assist those who have been injured on the property of others. Premises liability is a term used to describe the legal responsibility that a landowner and occupiers of a property have for injuries and accidents that occur on their property. Premises liability claims can be filed for a variety of reasons, including:

Injuries that occur as a result of another person's actions on the property may be the responsibility of a property owner, especially if the owner fails to provide adequate security on the property. Injuries can come from falling objects, broken sidewalks, and the failure to post adequate signs and warnings. When determining liability on the part of the owner, your Boulder personal injury attorney will take several factors in to account:

The legal status of the visitor: The visitor is one of the following; invitee, social guest, licensee, or a trespasser. Status is important when assessing a premises liability claim because a trespasser is unlikely to be compensated for a premises liability case.
Whether or not an owner made reasonable effort to provide for the safety of his or her guests: Have obstacles and hazards been cleaned up in a reasonable manner, or have guests been adequately warned that a hazard exists?
Whether or not the owner knew a hazard existed and then failed to remedy the situation.

Successful premises liabilities cases will often result in compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses. If you have reason to believe the negligence of a property owner has contributed to an injury you've sustained, then speaking to a Boulder premises liability lawyer should be a priority.
