Frequently Asked Questions About Slip & Fall Cases

How do I prove a property owner was negligent?

To prove negligence in a slip and fall case, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. Evidence may include surveillance footage, maintenance logs, witness statements, and inspection records. Shannon's team handles this investigation thoroughly.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Colorado?

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, claims against government entities have a much shorter notice period of 182 days. It's critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

What compensation can I recover from a slip and fall?

You may recover compensation for medical bills (past and future), lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any permanent disability or disfigurement. Shannon's medical background helps ensure the full extent of your injuries is documented.

What if I was partially at fault for my fall?

Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Shannon will work to minimize any fault attributed to you.
