How we match your Colorado slip and fall case

When you submit a Colorado slip and fall matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A slip and fall matter needs someone who handles slip and fall work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Colorado law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Colorado who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Colorado is unusual: the Premises Liability Act (C.R.S. § 13-21-115) is the exclusive remedy for injuries on someone else’s land, and it codifies the invitee/licensee/trespasser classifications. Invitees are owed protection against dangers the owner actually knew of OR should have known of; licensees only against those the owner actually knew of. Combined with modified comparative fault (50% bar) and capped non-economic damages, Colorado premises cases require precise legal strategy.

The Premises Liability Act provides the exclusive remedy. You must show your visitor status, the duty owed for that status, and that the owner breached it. For invitees (most business customers), the duty is to protect against dangers the owner knew or should have known about.

The PLA limits common-law theories, and Colorado’s 50% bar means losing the comparative-fault fight can wipe out the entire claim. Defense counsel work hard to push fault onto plaintiffs.

Open-and-obvious is part of the duty analysis under the PLA, not an automatic bar. If harm is foreseeable despite the obviousness (the only entrance is icy), liability may still attach.

Get the incident report, photograph the hazard, identify witnesses, and request preservation of surveillance. Inspection logs and snow-treatment records will be central to the case.

Colorado has not adopted a hard natural-accumulation rule. Cases apply the PLA reasonableness factors — what did the owner know about the storm, what steps did they take, and were unnatural accumulations involved.

Yes. The Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (C.R.S. § 24-10-109) requires written notice within 182 days. Miss the deadline and the claim is barred — no exceptions.

Colorado slip and fall attorneys typically work on contingency — no upfront cost, paid a percentage of the recovery. Typical contingency fees range from 33% to 40%.

Car Accident attorneysCrash cases get a rare third year on the clock in Colorado — but reach 50% fault and the state gives you nothing.

Consumer Protection attorneysThe Colorado Consumer Protection Act can triple your damages and shift attorney fees — and the Attorney General's office is an active co-enforcer.

Criminal Defense attorneysColorado has spent a decade redrawing its drug-sentencing lines — knowing exactly which felonies became misdemeanors, and when, can decide a case.

Defective Product attorneysColorado's Products Liability Act layers presumptions and a repose period over strict liability — older products get harder to sue over.

Employment attorneysThe Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act reaches employers federal law ignores, and recent reforms gave state-court plaintiffs damages parity with federal claims.
