Premises Liability: Holding Property Owners Accountable in Colorado
Whether you slip and fall at a grocery store or suffer an injury due to unsafe conditions at an apartment complex, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment. At Watkins Law, LLC in Denver, Colorado, we specialize in premises liability cases, helping victims hold negligent property owners accountable.
Understanding Premises Liability Law
In Colorado, premises liability law applies to injuries caused by hazardous conditions on someone else’s property. The level of care owed to you depends on your status:
- Invitee: A person invited for business purposes (e.g., a customer). Property owners owe the highest duty of care.
- Licensee: A person on the property for their own purposes (e.g., a social guest). Property owners must warn of known dangers.
- Trespasser: A person without permission to be on the property. Property owners generally owe no duty of care, except in specific circumstances (e.g., children).
Compensation for Premises Liability Victims
Victims of premises liability accidents may recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
