Slip and Fall

Falling on snow and ice

Colorado has very complex laws governing when you can recover for being injured in a fall. We have successfully brought multiple cases against stores that fail to keep their aisles clear and safe. We have also successfully sued other businesses that fail to properly clear snow and ice from their sidewalks.

We recently sued a developer that was inviting customers to view new condos after a large snow storm but failed to provide safe parking and clear walkways. They had also badly designed their drainage system in a way that caused runoff to freeze on the sidewalks, which was made eve more dangerous when it was covered with snow they failed to remove.

Our client fell and badly injured his spine, requiring extensive spinal surgery. They refused to do the right thing and pay for those injuries before being sued. So, we filed suit, hired the experts to prove what they had done, and forced them to see the light. They paid our client $1 million for his injuries.
