If you or your loved one have suffered severe injuries due to a property owner's negligence, you may be able to seek compensation.
Slip and fall cases typically occur when a business fails to properly maintain a safe, physical environment. Some examples of this might be:
- A spill on on the floor
- A recently mopped area
- Ice and/or snow having not been properly removed in a timely manner
- An unsecured carpet or rug
- Exposed wires or cables
- Holes or bumps in the floor without a clear warning marker
Some of the most common locations slip and fall cases take place are private property, places of business, grocery stores, restaurants, retail establishments, sidewalks, or warehouses.
If you have suffered a fractured arm, broken hip, head injury, physical disfigurement or harm, back or neck injury, or any other physical injury as a result of a slip and fall accident in Denver, Colorado, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer immediately.
An injured party only has two years to pursue a claim against the business responsible for their injuries. This is known as a statute of limitations (SOL), which prevents the injured party from filing a lawsuit for damages once a certain period of time has passed. With slip and fall cases, you only have two years from the date of the incident to file for damages.
Should the property involved in the incident be owned by a governmental entity, such as a city, county or state building or a school, the injured party only has 180 days to file a claim. Failing to give proper notice in time will prevent you from seeking compensation for injuries and damages.
In any such slip and fall scenario, it is important to act fast and contact an experienced, Denver personal injury lawyer right away. Let the team of Sandomire & Kuberry, PLLC help you get the compensation that you deserve.
