LONGMONT Premises
Liability Lawyer
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Your Safety
If you have become injured due to dangerous circumstances in a place where you should’ve felt safe, you may be able to make premises liability claims. Premises liability refers to the responsibility someone takes while you are on their property. For instance, if you slip, fall, and sustain a serious injury because of ice outside the entry of a store, business, or home, a liquid on the floor in the grocery store, or some other dangerous condition on the premises of another, you may have a maximum compensation against that landowner.
How Is Premises Liability Determined?
The system in Longmont CO will weigh in on whether the injured party was acting reasonably, so both the injured person and the place they were at could potentially share liability. For the property owner to be considered careless, they must have reasonably known that the unsafe conditions existed and failed to pursue any preventative behavior.
If a company fails to investigate the security guard at a hotel who later assaults a guest, the hotel may be held liable. The court will also consider if you were behaving in a reasonable manner. If you’re not using common sense to avoid a dangerous situation, you may be unable to prove negligence.
Invitees, Licensees, and Trespassers
You have different rights depending on why you were at the place you were injured. If invited, you are considered either an invitee or a licensee and can almost always claim premises liability. Commercial customers, considered “invitees,” and social guests, considered “licensees,” therefore have the greatest rights and expectations of safety.
Your rights are generally not protected if you trespass on someone else’s property. There are some cases where trespassers entered unknowingly in an extremely dangerous situation and have won the case. There can also be child trespassers, minors who would be enticed to break onto your property because, for example, you own a swimming pool. They are awarded more rights, and as a homeowner, you would need to take more precautions to prevent these unwanted visitors as you may still be liable if they are harmed on your property.
If you have been injured from a slip and fall accident on someone’s property where you had the right to feel safe being there, you can file a premises liability claim to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more.

Proven Results that Result in 5 Star Reviews. See for Yourself
May 2017 We survived a 50mph head on collision after someone rolled into highway traffic but were left injured with an absurd debt in medical bills and our car having only been 10 days old was totaled. I found Ed through a search online for reputable accident attorneys. He had the best and most sincere reviews including his previous role in the insurance industry. Just saying we didn’t want to make the nightmare we were dealing with worse so it was important we were represented well. Ed was always professional, accommodating, clear (he checks in with you to make sure you understand everything), communicates well and honestly goes above and beyond to make the difficult claim process easier. He was a blessing through some difficult times. We are grateful to have worked with Ed and we highly recommend him.
Edward was incredibly attentive, responsive, and kept me in the loop after a bad accident. Every question or problem I had was met with a litany of solutions, and he showed great care to get me the most out of my settlement. I’m a single gal, trying to find my way in the world, and after a traumatic motorcycle accident I needed a knight in shining armor to fight this battle for me! He not only explained the usual course of this matter to me, but offered to speak to my father, brothers, and attorney friends to be sure that I was taken care of. Edward gave sound advice about navigating doctor’s appointments, how to approach the criminal charges of the person who hit me, life advice, and even what to do with my settlement. I can’t recommend him enough!
Ed was amazing! He won us over immediately when he actually answered his phone. Along with being extremely competent in this field, he is prompt in providing information and guidance along an unfamiliar path. My mom was badly injured and he worked diligently on her behalf to get her the financial relief she needed. The case and treatment took a few months and during that time, he would just occasionally call and check in on her. What a kind man…. and, more important, a top-notch attorney! I would give Ed 100 stars if I was able to do so.
