Colorado Slip and Fall Attorneys

At DearLegal, we connect you with experienced Colorado slip and fall attorneys who understand the Premises Liability Act (C.R.S. § 13-21-115), the state’s 50% comparative-fault bar, and the storm-cycle and treatment-log evidence that decides winter cases. Whether you fell in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, or anywhere across the state, we’ll match you with the right attorney — at no cost to get started.

The Premises Liability Act provides the exclusive remedy. You must show your visitor status, the duty owed for that status, and that the owner breached it. For invitees (most business customers), the duty is to protect against dangers the owner knew or should have known about.

The PLA limits common-law theories, and Colorado’s 50% bar means losing the comparative-fault fight can wipe out the entire claim. Defense counsel work hard to push fault onto plaintiffs.

Open-and-obvious is part of the duty analysis under the PLA, not an automatic bar. If harm is foreseeable despite the obviousness (the only entrance is icy), liability may still attach.

Get the incident report, photograph the hazard, identify witnesses, and request preservation of surveillance. Inspection logs and snow-treatment records will be central to the case.

Colorado has not adopted a hard natural-accumulation rule. Cases apply the PLA reasonableness factors — what did the owner know about the storm, what steps did they take, and were unnatural accumulations involved.

Yes. The Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (C.R.S. § 24-10-109) requires written notice within 182 days. Miss the deadline and the claim is barred — no exceptions.

Colorado slip and fall attorneys typically work on contingency — no upfront cost, paid a percentage of the recovery. Typical contingency fees range from 33% to 40%.

Why Do You Need a Slip and Fall Attorney in Colorado?

Colorado is unusual: the Premises Liability Act (C.R.S. § 13-21-115) is the exclusive remedy for injuries on someone else’s land, and it codifies the invitee/licensee/trespasser classifications. Invitees are owed protection against dangers the owner actually knew of OR should have known of; licensees only against those the owner actually knew of. Combined with modified comparative fault (50% bar) and capped non-economic damages, Colorado premises cases require precise legal strategy.
