Evans Slip and Fall Lawyer

Colorado property owners should know that they could be held liable if they fail to adequately and safely maintain their property. If they fail to maintain a safe environment, their guests may be highly susceptible to a slip and fall injury. Whether a grocery store ignores a spill, a medical office fails to shovel ice from a walkway, or a restaurant leaves a rip in a rug unfixed, anyone who is injured could be entitled to compensation.

If you have suffered an injury due to a slip and fall and wish to obtain compensation, contact a trusted injury attorney today. An Evans slip and fall lawyer may be able to help you achieve a favorable outcome for your case.

What Damages Could a Slip and Fall Plaintiff Receive?

Damages are what the financial compensation of the injured individual are based upon. Most plaintiffs would claim economic and non-economic damages with the help of an Evans slip and fall lawyer.

Economic damages already have an assigned value. These include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, legal expenses, and other incidental expenses related to the slip and fall.

Non-economic damages are typically more difficult to prove and to assign a value. They are subjective and might include:

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of a bodily function
  • Loss of a career

Pain and Suffering Damage Caps Apply

Slip and fall plaintiffs in Colorado should note that there is a damage cap on their pain and suffering damages. These specific damages are limited to $250,000, plus an allowance for inflation each year, with only a few exceptions. As of 2018, the cap was $468,010, as found in Colorado Revised Statutes §13-21-102.5(3)(a).

Two-Year Filing Deadline for Slip and Fall Lawsuits

Victims who sustained an injury in a slip and fall accident might want to know that their legal right to file a lawsuit is not indefinite. In fact, there is a two-year statute of limitations which can be found in Colorado Revised Statutes §13-80-102(1)(a). Potential plaintiffs in a slip and fall lawsuit have two years from the date of their injury, or in some cases, the date of discovering their injury to file their injury claim.

If the lawsuit is filed after the expiration of the statute of limitations, the defendant could request that the courts remove the case on the basis of being time-barred. The judge would have no choice but to comply with the request of the defendant, leaving the plaintiff without any legal recourse for their damages.
