Slip and Fall Accidents, Boulder Injury Lawyers
“Slip and fall” is a legal term for personal injury cases that arise when a person slips and falls as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property. Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition, free of hazards to patrons and guests. In legal terms, this is known as premises liability. Slip and fall cases stem from a variety of different types of hazards, including:
- Carpeting that is in disrepair
- Flooring that is not level
- Inadequate lighting
- Wet or slippery floor
- Rain, ice, or snow that is not cleared within a reasonable time after a storm
- Unmarked wells or holes in the ground
- Sidewalks that are uneven or have hidden gaps
Slip and fall cases are litigated under the legal theory of negligence. The Boulder premises liability attorneys at Sloat & Nicholson, P.C. must prove the property owner negligently created the hazardous condition or knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to have it removed or repaired.
