Castle Rock Premises Liability Lawyer
Turn Pain into Power, Injury into Justice

We fight to make sure you’re heard. We win because your recovery depends on it. You deserve results, not excuses—let’s get to work.

When you visit someone else’s property, you have a right to expect safe conditions. You trust that the owner has taken reasonable steps to fix hazards and prevent foreseeable accidents.

But when property owners neglect their duty to maintain safe premises, innocent people get hurt. Slips and falls, swimming pool accidents, elevator malfunctions – these preventable incidents can lead to life-altering injuries.

If you’ve been hurt due to a property owner’s negligence, the dedicated legal team at Kennedy Injury Law in Castle Rock is here to help. We’ll hold careless owners accountable and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability is the legal concept that property owners are responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their land or in their buildings. In Colorado, this duty of care applies to anyone who owns, leases, or controls property, including:

  • Homeowners and landlords
  • Retail stores and restaurants
  • Office and commercial buildings
  • Hotels and resorts
  • Schools and universities
  • Government entities

The specific duty owed depends on the visitor’s status:

  • Invitees (e.g., customers or clients) are owed the highest duty of care. Owners must regularly inspect for hazards and promptly fix or warn of any dangers.
  • Licensees (e.g., social guests) are owed a moderate duty. Owners must warn of known hazards that aren’t obvious.
  • Trespassers are generally owed no duty, except to avoid willful or wanton conduct. However, special rules apply for child trespassers.

When property owners fail to meet these duties, and someone gets hurt as a result, they can be held liable for the victim’s injuries and losses.

Common Premises Liability Accidents

Premises liability claims can arise from a wide range of hazardous property conditions, such as:

  • Slippery floors or spills
  • Broken stairs or missing handrails
  • Uneven sidewalks or potholes
  • Falling merchandise or debris
  • Unsecured swimming pools
  • Faulty elevators or escalators
  • Inadequate lighting or security
  • Fire safety violations
  • Toxic chemical exposure
  • Attractive nuisances like abandoned appliances

These hazards can lead to devastating injuries, such as:

Victims often face mounting medical bills, lost income, and a painful road to recovery. Our mission is to help you obtain the resources you need to heal and rebuild.

Proving a Premises Liability Claim

Premises liability cases can be complex. Just because you were injured on someone’s property doesn’t automatically mean they were negligent. You must generally show:

  1. The defendant owned, leased, or controlled the property
  2. A dangerous condition existed on the premises
  3. The defendant knew or should have known about the hazard
  4. They failed to fix the condition or provide adequate warning
  5. You were injured as a result

Proving these elements takes prompt investigation and strong evidence, such as:

  • Incident reports and witness statements
  • Photos and video of the scene
  • Property maintenance and inspection records
  • Building code violations and citations
  • Expert analysis of the hazard
  • Medical records linking your injuries to the incident

At Kennedy Injury Law, we act quickly to secure this crucial evidence before it disappears. We’ll also consult with top experts – from engineers to medical specialists – to build a persuasive case for liability and damages.

Compensation for Premises Liability Victims

If you’ve been seriously hurt due to a property owner’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone. Colorado law allows you to seek compensation for all the ways the injury has impacted your life, including:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning potential
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment and quality of life

In cases of extreme misconduct or recklessness, you may also be entitled to punitive damages. These are additional penalties intended to punish the owner and deter others from similar negligence.

Our knowledgeable attorneys will thoroughly document your losses, consult with experts, and fight for maximum compensation. We’ll also handle all communications and negotiations with the insurance company, so you can focus on your health and well-being.

Pursing Justice and Accountability

Premises liability claims don’t just provide much-needed compensation for injured victims. They also create safer environments for everyone by holding property owners accountable for negligent conduct.

At Kennedy Injury Law, we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and protected in their community. By pursuing these claims, we strive to:

  • Encourage property owners to prioritize safety
  • Identify and correct hazardous conditions
  • Raise awareness of premises liability responsibilities
  • Improve industry standards and best practices
  • Prevent future accidents and injuries

While no amount of money can undo the trauma of a serious injury, securing justice and accountability can provide a sense of closure. Let us help you find the peace of mind you deserve.

What is an example of an "attractive nuisance"?

An attractive nuisance is a hazardous object or condition that is likely to attract children, such as a swimming pool, trampoline, or abandoned appliance. Property owners have a special duty to prevent foreseeable injuries to child trespassers from these hazards.

What if my injury occurred at work?

If you were injured in the course of your employment, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party (not your employer) was responsible for the hazard, you may also have a premises liability claim. An attorney can advise you on your options.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit in Colorado?

The statute of limitations for most premises liability lawsuits in Colorado is two years from the date of injury. However, there are exceptions that can shorten or extend this deadline. It’s critical to consult with an attorney right away to protect your rights.

Can I sue if I was partially at fault for my injury?

Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault for your injury. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help minimize allegations that you contributed to your own injury.

How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?

At Kennedy Injury Law, we handle premises liability cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we win compensation for you. You have nothing to lose by scheduling a free consultation to learn about your rights.

How much does it cost to hire a distracted driving accident lawyer?
