Slip and Fall Accidents/ Premises Liability

In Colorado Springs, slip and fall and other premises liability accidents happen all the time. When a slip and fall accident arises from negligence, the case becomes a question of premises liability. A negligent property owner or manager is anyone who fails to inform visitors of a hazard such as a slippery floor, uneven surface, or a hole, or to fix it once it is brought to his or her attention.

If you are hurt on someone else’s property, the property owner may be liable. To win your case, you should contact an attorney who deals with premises liability cases. In Colorado Springs, Ron Schreiber is experienced in helping victims of slip and fall accidents and premises liability cases.

Property owners are responsible for keeping their property clear of potential hazards such as water, ice, snow, and uneven surfaces. They are liable for the injuries of anyone hurt on their property in a slip and fall accident.

Slip and fall accidents can be caused by many things, and it takes an experienced personal injury lawyer to prove that it was caused by someone else’s negligence or mistake. The lawyer must prove that the slip and fall accident was due to no fault of your own, but the negligence of the property owner. It is also necessary to prove that the owner or manager of the property was aware of the hazard.

Those involved with slip and fall accidents should gather as much information as possible. They should take photographs of the conditions that caused the accident, file an accident report if the accident happened in a place of business, and get information from any and all witnesses to the accident. Furthermore, you should obtain proof of your injuries—with photographs, if possible. And you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Colorado Springs attorney Ronald Schreiber is experienced in premises liability and slip and fall accidents. He can help you get compensation after a slip and fall accident that resulted in an injury. If you or a loved one has been involved in a slip and fall accident, or another accident resulting from premises liability, contact our personal injury law firm today.

Good representation will bring you peace of mind that will help you recover from your injury or cope with your new disability.

Following a workplace accident, you are entitled to reimbursement for your medical costs; mileage going to and from doctor’s appointments; temporary disability payments, which are 2/3 of your normal wage; and other benefits, based on your situation. When a workplace accident results in permanent disability, you are entitled to receive a set amount of money, depending on your level of disability.

Recovering workers' compensation benefits in the face of a negligent employer can be difficult and intimidating; that’s why hiring an experienced workers' compensation lawyer can help.

Animal Attacks

Nearly 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year, ranging from minor injuries to death. Sadly, about half of dog bite fatalities are children under 10 years old. When a dog causes bodily injury to a human or pet without provocation, either on public or private property, the dog’s owner is liable. About a third of premises liability cases involve dogs attacking humans.

In Colorado, even if the dog had no history of viciousness, the dog’s owner may still be liable for the victim’s injuries. If your child or pet was attacked, you may pursue a case on their behalf.

As with any incident that stems from someone’s negligence, it is best to document the scene and your injuries, get the information for any and all witnesses to the attack, and to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

Pursuing a case will mean that you or your child will be compensated for your injuries, and that the vicious animal will be prevented from making similar attacks in the future.

Ronald K. Schreiber is experienced in dog bite law. He is familiar with Colorado’s laws surrounding vicious animals, and he can fairly and aggressively represent you in court.

If you live in Colorado Springs and have a slip and fall accident (premises liability) or workers' compensation case, contact our lawyer today. Attorney Ronald Schreiber can review your claim and determine whether you are entitled to compensation.
