Understanding Liability in Trip-and-Fall Cases

In Colorado, trip-and-fall claims fall under premises liability law, which requires property owners to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. A property owner may be held liable for injuries if:

• The property condition posed an unreasonable risk of harm.
• The owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
• The owner failed to address the danger or provide adequate warning.

Our experienced attorneys at Arckey & Steele understand Colorado’s premises liability laws in depth. We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your case, gather evidence, and build a strong claim to seek maximum compensation on your behalf.
