Pueblo Slip & Fall and Premises Liability Lawyers
Property owners in Colorado have a legal duty to keep premises reasonably safe. When grocery stores, apartment complexes, restaurants or government buildings fail that duty, we hold them accountable for your injuries.
How our Pueblo attorneys help
Wet floors, ice and snow accumulation
Pueblo winters mean unsalted walkways and untreated ice. We pursue claims for falls at stores, parking lots, restaurants and apartment complexes.
Broken stairs, torn carpet & poor lighting
Trip-and-fall injuries from dangerous walking surfaces and inadequate lighting are classic premises liability cases under Colorado's three-tier framework.
Negligent security
Assaults in poorly lit parking lots or unsecured apartment complexes can give rise to claims against property owners who ignored known risks.
Serious fall injuries
Hip fractures, traumatic brain injuries and spinal injuries from falls often require lifelong care — and serious compensation.

Frequently asked questions
What must I prove in a Colorado slip and fall case?+
Under the Colorado Premises Liability Act, you generally must show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim?+
Generally 2 years from the date of injury under the Premises Liability Act. Claims against government entities have much shorter notice deadlines (often 182 days).
What if I was partially at fault?+
Colorado's modified comparative negligence rule still allows recovery if you were less than 50% at fault, reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if I fell on city or county property?+
Claims against Pueblo, Pueblo County or the State of Colorado fall under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act and have very strict notice deadlines. Call immediately.
