Slip/Trip or Fall
If you, a friend or relative were injured as a result of slipping
on ice or some other liquid on a floor, parking lot or sidewalk,
which was due to someone else's fault/negligence or you fell
down stairs or tripped over an object that shouldn't have
been present, you may be entitled to recover damages for your
personal injuries, including pain and suffering, out-of-pocket
expenses, loss of income, physical impairment, scarring and/or
inconvenience.
In slip/trip and fall cases, there is a 2-year statute of
limitations in Colorado, meaning that if you were to file
a suit, you would need to do so within 2 years from the date
of the incident or you would be forever barred from bringing
such a lawsuit.
In most instances, the place where the slip/trip and fall
occurred has a medical pay provision; meaning that regardless
of who was at fault, you would be entitled to a $1,000 or
in some instances a $5,000 benefit to cover your medical expenses.
