Slips & Falls Lawyer
Slip and fall accidents can result in serious physical injuries as well as financial burden. Medical bills and lost wages can put a strain on your family while you try to recover from your injuries. At The Law Office of Edward Smith we understand that slip and fall accidents change people's lives. We go to work immediately to protect your rights and recover the maximum amount in damages. As a former insurance company lawyer, Edward Smith knows the tactics the insurance company will try to use in an effort to minimize your recovery or to deny your claim altogether. Edward Smith is the Colorado slips and falls attorney on your side who serves in Boulder, Longmont, Frederick, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Loveland, Broomfield, Ft. Lupton, and Berthoud region also.
Colorado property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition so those entering their property are not injured. When their failure to keep their property safe results in you getting injured, you have the right to pursue what is called a premises liability claim. Common premises liability claims include the following:
- Slip and fall accidents- caused by icy sidewalks, steps, entry ways or parking lots or unmarked wet floors inside a store or business.
- Trip and fall accidents -caused by tripping over debris on the floor of a store or business, store racks sticking out into path of the customer or tripping over a raised sidewalk.
- Falling Merchandise - such as when a heavy box falls on a customer in a store or business.
- Negligent Security- including assaults in unlit stairways or parking garages or claims involving the failure to properly screen employees.
Colorado law identifies three categories of people on the property of another when they are injured and this determines what the injured person must prove in order to recover damages. For example, if you are injured in a store you most likely will be considered an "invitee" meaning you were invited there for the benefit of the owner as well as yourself. As an invitee you will have to prove that the landowner "knew or should have known" of the dangerous condition and failed to remove it. "Licensees" make up the second group and here it is necessary to prove that the landowner actually knew of the dangerous condition and failed to warn you about it. Licensees are those who enter the property of another, not normally open to the public, at the invitation of the landowner. Trespassers are the third category and can only recover damages that are willfully or deliberately caused by the landowners.
It is extremely common for the insurance company to place some or all of the blame on the slip and fall victim. As a result, it is recommended that you speak with a lawyer familiar with premises liability claims before you speak with the insurance company. An experienced Boulder slips and falls lawyer will be able to protect your rights, rights you may give up by speaking directly with the insurance company.
