Colorado Premises Liability Attorney Who Understands Your Rights
At Black, Blink, & Associates LLC, we help injured victims seek compensation from negligent property owners. With decades of combined experience, our Colorado Springs slip-and-fall lawyers are familiar with the complexities of these cases. You can expect our full, undivided attention in helping you navigate Colorado’s nuanced laws on premises liability.
What Colorado’s Premises Liability Act Means
The Colorado Premises Liability Act (PLA) outlines a property owner’s responsibility in a slip-and-fall accident in Colorado. It also determines your rights as an injured party to compensation based on your visitor classification:
- Invitee: Customers or public visitors. Owners must protect them from known or discoverable dangers.
- Licensees: Permitted social or recreational guests. Owners are liable only for failing to warn about hazards they actually knew existed.
- Trespassers: Uninvited visitors. Owners are only liable for willful or deliberate harm.
If you injured yourself on someone else’s property in El Paso County, a Colorado Springs slip-and-fall lawyer can help you file a claim.
Common Slip-And-Fall Hazards
Slip-and-fall accidents occur because of these hazards:
- Wet floors: Liquid spills, freshly mopped surfaces and tracked-in rainwater
- Ice and snow accumulation: Uncleared ice on parking lots, sidewalks and driveways
- Uneven pavement: Cracked sidewalks, unaligned sidewalk seams and torn carpeting
- Poor lighting: Locations with inadequate lighting, making trip hazards invisible
If any of these caused your injury, you must know your next steps after the accident.
Why You Must Act Promptly After The Accident
Once a property owner or landlord learns about the incident, they rush to repair the hazard and delete surveillance footage of your slip. Like other personal injury claims in Colorado, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Missing this can bar you from seeking compensation for your damages.
We are here to help. Our experienced attorneys can secure eyewitness statements, pursue incident reports and obtain surveillance logs. We stand with you in protecting your rights as an injured victim.
