Premises Liability Lawyers in Denver

Colorado Attorneys For When You Are Hurt On Someone Else’s Property

You can hold several types of property owners accountable if you were injured on their premises. In some cases, it’s even worthwhile making a claim against the homeowners insurance of a friend or family member.

Making such an insurance claim does not penalize your friend or family member (besides a slight possible increase in premiums). Your injury, whether from a dog bite, fall or cut, is exactly why homeowners insurance exists. Accidents happen.

When you are seriously injured on someone else’s property, the property owner is almost always liable for your injuries and the resulting costs of your recovery. However, whether you are making a claim against a homeowner or business, recovering the maximum compensation you deserve is never a sure thing.

The insurance company will always work aggressively to limit the compensation it pays you. And your claim may initially be denied completely.

What Is A Premises Liability Injury?

At Flesch & Beck Law, our lawyers will help you thoroughly understand your unique case and assist you in making informed decisions throughout. Types of premises liability incidents include:

  • Trip-and-fall and slip-and-fall accidents
  • Animal attacks (including dog bites)
  • Unsafe and hazardous property conditions, such as poor lighting, cracked or uneven walkways, torn carpet, falling merchandise, broken steps or railings, slippery floors, inadequate security, potholes in parking lots and other hidden hazards
  • Dram shop or bar liability, which involves a bar or restaurant serving an obviously intoxicated patron who then proceeds to cause you injury

Our attorneys handle slip-and-fall injuries and other premises liability cases in metro Denver and throughout the Colorado Front Range. We bring claims and lawsuits against owners of retail stores, restaurants, supermarkets, parking lots, bars and other commercial entities; governmental entities; and homeowners.

Slip-And-Fall Injuries Can Be Serious

The circumstances might seem embarrassing, but injuries from falling can nonetheless be quite debilitating. We know that recovering from a slip-and-fall accident can take a long time and can create significant financial and personal hardships.

Property owners are responsible for the safety of visitors and patrons. Under Colorado statute, owners are liable for injuries if they created, knew of or should have known of a dangerous condition that posed a risk to the public.

Was there a formal complaint prior to your accident? Did the owner have adequate time to clean up or repair the scene of your accident?

We encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation if your slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall involved:

  • A slippery floor (spill, leak, food, waxing/mopping)
  • Sidewalk snow and ice
  • Potholes or raised concrete
  • Broken steps or railings
  • Torn carpet or another tripping hazard
  • Poor lighting
  • Falling merchandise

When our attorneys get involved early, they take swift action to document the dangerous condition before it is remedied or covered up. They obtain photos, witness statements, surveillance video and other evidence, and they research prior complaints or code violations for similar safety lapses.

Our Team Is Committed To Your Full Recovery

Our lawyers will take prompt steps to establish liability, but it is important to let your medical treatment play out. Rather than opting for a quick settlement, our team will want to be sure that your compensation reflects:

  • Future medical care
  • Loss of income and earning potential
  • Any permanent injury
  • Damages for pain and suffering you’ve endured

Our attorneys help clients at every stage of the legal process in hopes that they will be able to focus on healing rather than worrying about legal matters.

What You Need To Know For Your Injury Claim Involving An Unsafe Or Hazardous Condition

Virtually every property owner has a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions on their property. In many cases, whether you were invited onto the property makes little difference. For example, if a property owner failed to adequately install a fence to keep children out of a swimming pool on the property and a child drowned or suffered an injury in the pool, the property owner could be held liable for the costs.

Several elements are necessary to prove property owner negligence in any premises liability case.

  • The property owner or property manager was aware of an unsafe or hazardous condition but neglected to fix it in an appropriate amount of time.
  • The property owner or manager did not properly warn visitors of the danger.
  • The property owner or manager should have reasonably known about the danger.
  • The unsafe or hazardous condition was the cause of your injuries.

You need evidence of negligence and an accurate valuation of your past, present and future damages related to the injury if you wish to recover the maximum compensation you deserve.

Please call Flesch & Beck Law at (303) 806-8886 to speak with an attorney about your claim. We are available 24/7 by phone and offer free consultations.

What Is An Unsafe Or Hazardous Property Condition?

Such conditions come in many forms for many types of properties. It is best to consult an experienced lawyer about your unique injury situation, but there are several common types of dangerous property conditions that cause injuries, including:

  • Wet and slippery floors
  • Icy sidewalks and parking lots
  • Cracked or uneven sidewalks or walkways
  • Torn or folded carpets
  • Uneven floors or entryways
  • Uneven stairs not properly marked
  • Obstacles or merchandise in store aisles
  • Faulty elevators or escalators
  • Stairwells lacking adequate handrails
  • Improperly lit hallways, stairwells, walkways or parking lots
  • Inadequate security
  • Improperly fenced swimming pools, construction sites or homes under renovation

Reasonable safety precautions must be taken by property owners and managers to safeguard all potential visitors to their property. If you or a relative has suffered any type of injury on someone else’s property, including assault or a sex crime, it is critical that you speak with an experienced lawyer.

Maximum Compensation Requires Maximum Advocacy

No insurance company is going to agree with your demand for compensation from the beginning, regardless of the skills and reputation of your lawyer. If you think the government is difficult to deal with, wait until you encounter an insurance defense lawyer.

Although you may have to attend a few meetings with the opposition and, possibly, court hearings if your case cannot be settled for an appropriate amount, our lawyers will handle all communications with insurance companies and all legal aspects of your case. They will even help you find the best possible medical care available for your injuries.

At Flesch & Beck Law, we have been providing representation to injury victims throughout Colorado’s Front Range for over 20 years.

I Got Hurt In A Store. Can The Store Be Held Responsible?

Possibly. If you suffered injuries because of the store’s negligence, you may be able to recover damages. In negligence cases, you must determine if the hazard was known or knowable and if they failed to appropriately respond. It also must also be determined if you, as a reasonable person, could have recognized the hazard and should have been able to avoid it.

I Was Mugged In My Apartment Complex. Can I Sue The Owner?

It depends on what the property owner knew. Were appropriate safety measures, like lighting, locks and cameras, in place. You will need to prove that the landowner was on notice that an unsafe condition existed and yet did nothing. Was there is a history of assaults in the complex?

How Can I Prove My Premises Liability Claim?

You must prove:

  • Dangerous conditions existed for an extended period; and that the owner knew about them, should have known or caused the problem.
  • Your injury was caused by the owner’s negligence or their carelessness contributed to it.
  • The owner’s negligence was a larger contributing factor than your actions.

What should I do after I am injured on someone else’s property?

When you receive injuries on another person’s property, you must first get medical treatment. No matter how serious you think the injury is, you cannot know the full extent of the damage until a doctor medically assesses you. After that, speaking with a skilled attorney can make a significant impact on your chances. Let your lawyer take on the difficulty of pursuing compensation so that you can focus on healing and getting back to your life.

Why should I hire a premises liability lawyer?

When you are injured on someone else’s property, your time and energy should be spent on healing and recovery. When you hire a premises liability lawyer, you are getting an ally who will take over the legal side so that you can focus on what is most important.

These cases can often get complicated, especially when multiple parties are involved. Our attorneys at Flesch & Beck Law have the experience to navigate these complex cases in order to pursue compensation for your injuries.
