Tenants and visitors depend on landlords and property managers to keep common areas safe—stairs, hallways, parking lots, and entries should be inspected, maintained, and compliant with building and safety codes. When owners defer repairs, ignore complaints, or skip snow and ice mitigation, preventable falls lead to fractures, shoulder and knee injuries, spinal harm, and concussions. We help clients in Denver, Aurora, Boulder, and statewide Colorado prove what went wrong, who’s responsible, and the full measure of losses.
Buildings age, traffic is constant, and Colorado’s weather is tough on exterior surfaces. Owners and managers must have systems to identify hazards and fix them promptly, or warn and restrict access until they do.
Colorado premises liability law requires owners and those in control of property to use reasonable care to protect lawful visitors from dangers they knew or should have known about. In multifamily and commercial settings, that means written inspection protocols, responsive maintenance, and code compliance.
Policies on paper aren’t enough—what matters is what happened before your fall. We collect objective records and testimony to show notice and unreasonable conduct.
Time‑sensitive proof can disappear within days. We move fast to lock down the condition and the records that explain it.
Each building type has recurring failure points. We tailor our investigation to the property’s layout, age, and use.
Insurers often cast apartment falls as “minor.” We counter with consistent medical documentation and real‑world corroboration.
Winter conditions are foreseeable. Reasonable plans and execution matter more than the calendar.
Falls on stairs are serious and often trace to objective violations.
Owners sometimes try to shift blame to tenants or third parties. We focus on who controlled the hazard and who had the ability and duty to fix it.
Your priorities are health and evidence preservation. A few timely steps protect both.
Your claim should account for both immediate costs and long‑term effects. Recoverable damages include medical expenses now and in the future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, out‑of‑pocket costs, and, when needed, household services and accommodations. Colorado law also allows recovery for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Comparative negligence, if any, can reduce recovery but doesn’t necessarily bar it.
We represent clients across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Westminster, Arvada, Thornton, and throughout Colorado, including Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Pueblo, and mountain communities. Whether your fall happened at a multifamily complex, commercial office, or mixed‑use property, we can help.
With more than three decades handling Colorado premises cases, we know how apartments and commercial properties are run—and where safety systems break down. We secure time‑sensitive video and logs, retain qualified experts, and present your medical story in a way insurers respect and juries understand. Our trial‑ready approach drives settlement value.
