A serious fall can happen in an instant — on an icy walkway, a wet store floor, or a poorly maintained stairway — and the injuries can be long-lasting. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. Injury Claim Team connects fall victims with attorneys who hold negligent owners accountable.
Slip & Fall Claims in Colorado
Colorado's Premises Liability Act governs most slip-and-fall claims and sets the standard of care based on whether you were an invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Colorado winters make ice and snow a leading cause of falls, and property owners can be liable for failing to address known hazards within a reasonable time. These cases turn on proving the owner knew or should have known about the danger.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Injuries
Many slip & fall cases share recurring causes. Identifying exactly what went wrong — and who is responsible — is the foundation of a strong claim:
- Ice and snow on walkways and entrances
- Wet or recently mopped floors without warning
- Uneven flooring, torn carpet, and loose mats
- Poor lighting in stairwells and lots
- Missing or broken handrails
- Cluttered aisles and walkways
- Potholes and damaged pavement
- Failure to repair known hazards
Compensation You May Recover
Every case is different, but injured Coloradans pursuing slip & fall claims may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, surgery and rehabilitation, lost wages, long-term care, pain and suffering, and compensation for permanent injuries such as fractures and head trauma. The right attorney makes sure every category of loss is documented and pursued.

Why Act Quickly
Colorado law limits how long you have to file a claim, and evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance footage is overwritten, and witnesses move on. The sooner you connect with an attorney, the more they can do to protect your rights and build your case. There is no downside to a free consultation, and no obligation.
Slip & Fall Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, that the property owner knew or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it or warn you, and that this caused your injury. Colorado's Premises Liability Act sets the framework.
Possibly. Property owners must address known icy conditions within a reasonable time. Whether they met that duty is a key question an attorney investigates.
Under Colorado's comparative negligence rule, you can still recover if you were less than 50% at fault, with damages reduced by your share.
