Boulder Premises Liability Attorney

Slip & Fall Accident Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

What is premises liability?
Under premises liability laws, property owners are responsible for keeping their property safe and warning visitors of potential hazards. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any injuries that result. Premises liability cases can involve workplace accidents, construction accidents, amusement park accidents, and slip & falls.

What should I do if I am injured on someone else’s property?
If you sustained an injury on another person’s property you should keep records of the scene of the accident and of your injury. It is best to hire a Boulder personal injury attorney right away because they will help you file charges in time, collect evidence, and speak with the defendant’s insurance company and lawyer.

Is there a time limit for filing a premises liability lawsuit?
You must press premises liability charges within the time limits imposed by Colorado’s statute of limitations, which may vary according to the circumstances of the accident. Once this deadline has passed, no lawsuit may be filed at all, so it is crucial to hire an attorney right away if you are injured.

What kind of damages can I expect to receive?
The types of premises liability damages victims can recover depend on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the circumstances surrounding the accident, and the amount of insurance available. Victims and their families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Who are potential responsible parties in a premises liability case?
There may be more than one person or entity that may be held responsible for your injuries. Property owners, tenants, landlords, security guards or companies charged with patrolling the property, management companies in charge of maintaining the property and third parties whose intentional or criminal actions caused your injuries while on another's property may liable for damages stemming from your injuries.
