Colorado Slip & Fall Accidents
More than eight million people were injured in slip-and-fall accidents in 2004, according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Because property owners in Boulder & Longmont are responsible for maintaining safe premises and warning visitors of potential hazards, they can be held liable for injuries that occur due to unsafe conditions on their property. Slip-and-fall accidents can result in many different types of injuries, ranging from the relatively minor to the extremely severe. A slip-and-fall accident can happen on public or private property, indoors or outdoors. A slip-and-fall injury can occur because of the following hazards:
