We Understand Colorado Premises Liability Laws

In Colorado, a property owner has a non-delegable duty to maintain his or her property. The law assigns differing duties of the owner based on the status of the victim:

• Invitees (including, customers, delivery persons, job applicants): The highest degree of duty is owed to this group of people. An invitee may recover for injuries and damages caused by the owners' unreasonable failure to exercise reasonable care to protect against dangerous conditions on the property of which they actually knew or should have known to exist.
• Licensees (including social guests): While a lower degree of duty is owed to visitors without a business interest, the property owner may still be liable for injuries and damages caused by dangers on the property of which they had actual knowledge.
• Trespassers: No duty is owed, unless (a) the victim is willfully injured or (b) a trespassing child is injured by an "attractive nuisance", such as a swimming pool or construction excavation.

With over 20 years of experience, Jennifer L. Donaldson has comprehensive understanding of these laws, and how they apply to specific slip and fall cases.
