Trip and Fall Accidents

Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC represents victims of trip and fall accidents throughout Colorado, helping them secure the compensation they deserve. Trip and fall accidents occur when an individual stumbles over an object, uneven surface, or obstacle, resulting in injury. Unlike slip and falls which typically involve slick surfaces, trip and falls are caused by unexpected objects in your path. Our experienced attorneys understand the distinct challenges these cases present and how to effectively establish property owner negligence for these particular types of accidents.

Common Causes of Trip and Fall Accidents

Trip and fall accidents commonly result from:

• Uneven sidewalks or pavement
• Poorly maintained staircases
• Loose or exposed cables and wires
• Inadequate lighting in walkways
• Unmarked changes in floor elevation
• Debris or objects left in walkways
• Loose or rippled carpeting

When property owners fail to address these hazards, they may be liable for resulting injuries under premises liability law. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case to identify and document these dangerous conditions, gathering critical evidence to establish that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard but failed to take appropriate steps to remedy the situation or warn visitors of the danger.

Injuries from Trip and Fall Accidents

Trip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries including:

• Broken bones, particularly wrists, arms, and hips
• Traumatic brain injuries from head impact
• Knee and ankle injuries
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Cuts, bruises, and soft tissue damage

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and can lead to significant lost wages and diminished quality of life. Our attorneys work with medical experts to fully document your injuries and understand their impact on your life, both immediate and long-term. This thorough approach ensures we seek appropriate compensation for all aspects of your suffering, including future medical expenses and any permanent disability resulting from your accident.

• Negotiate with insurance companies for fair compensation
• Prepare your case for trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached

Our lawyers understand the complexities of trip and fall cases, including how to counter common defense strategies such as claims that the hazard was “open and obvious” or that you were not paying adequate attention. We build compelling cases that establish property owner negligence and your right to compensation for the resulting injuries and losses.

Negligent Property Maintenance

At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand that property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When negligent property maintenance causes injuries, our experienced attorneys fight to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers have extensive experience holding property owners accountable for accidents that result from their failure to address known hazards or perform routine maintenance necessary to keep visitors safe.

Understanding Property Owner Responsibilities

Colorado property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. This includes regular inspections, prompt repairs, and adequate warnings of potential hazards. When owners neglect these duties and someone is injured as a result, they may be held legally liable under premises liability law. Our attorneys understand the specific legal standards that apply to different types of visitors, from invited guests to business customers, and work to establish how the property owner’s failure to meet their duty of care directly led to your injuries and suffering.

Common Negligent Maintenance Issues

Property maintenance negligence appears in many forms. Our Denver personal injury attorneys regularly handle cases involving unaddressed ice and snow accumulation, broken stairs or handrails, inadequate lighting in common areas, uneven walkways, and faulty electrical systems. These preventable conditions often lead to serious injuries that could have been avoided with proper care. We also represent clients injured due to unmaintained floor surfaces that create slip hazards, poorly maintained parking lots with dangerous potholes, and building code violations that compromise safety. Our experience with these cases allows us to quickly identify maintenance failures that constitute negligence.

Proving Your Negligent Maintenance Case

Successfully proving a negligent maintenance claim requires establishing that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to remedy it within a reasonable timeframe, and that this negligence directly caused your injuries. Our legal team thoroughly investigates your case, gathering crucial evidence including maintenance records, security footage, and witness testimony. We work with property maintenance experts when necessary to establish industry standards and demonstrate how the property owner’s neglect fell below acceptable care levels. Our comprehensive approach builds a compelling case that clearly connects the maintenance failure to your accident and resulting injuries.

Landlord and Apartment Complex Negligence

At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand how devastating injuries from apartment complex negligence can be.

Our lawyers have successfully represented many tenants injured due to landlord negligence and understand the unique challenges these cases present, from establishing liability to countering defense claims.

Common Types of Landlord Negligence

Landlords must maintain safe living conditions for tenants. Common negligence issues include failure to repair broken stairs or railings, ignoring electrical hazards, neglecting fire safety equipment, allowing dangerous mold growth, and not addressing structural problems that lead to ceiling collapses or flooding damage. These maintenance failures often violate housing codes and can cause serious injuries. We also represent clients injured due to inadequate lighting in common areas, improperly maintained walkways, unaddressed ice and snow accumulation, and other hazardous conditions that landlords have a legal responsibility to remedy. When these conditions cause slip and fall accidents or other injuries, our attorneys work to hold negligent landlords accountable.

Your Rights as a Tenant

Colorado law protects tenants from negligent landlords. Property owners must maintain habitable living conditions and promptly address safety concerns. When they fail in these duties, resulting in injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Documentation of your injuries and the dangerous condition strengthens your claim. Our attorneys thoroughly explain your legal rights and help you understand the compensation you may be entitled to receive based on the specific circumstances of your case and the severity of your injuries. We fight tenaciously to protect tenants from landlords who prioritize profits over safety.

Retail Store and Business Liability

As a property owner or business operator, you have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for customers, employees, and visitors. At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the complex legal challenges retail stores and businesses face when accidents occur on their property. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing injury victims in premises liability claims against retail establishments and businesses of all sizes, from small local shops to major national chains.

Types of Retail and Business Liability Cases

Slip and fall incidents, merchandise falling from shelves, inadequate security leading to assaults, and parking lot hazards represent the most common retail liability claims. These cases often involve questions of negligence, notice, and reasonable care standards that require experienced legal analysis. Our attorneys also handle cases involving injuries from improperly maintained floor surfaces, missing warning signs for wet floors, poor lighting conditions, and other hazardous conditions that businesses have a responsibility to address. When these conditions cause customer injuries, we work diligently to establish business owner liability and secure fair compensation for our clients.

Property Owner Responsibilities

Colorado law requires business owners to exercise reasonable care in maintaining safe premises. This includes regular inspections, prompt repairs of hazardous conditions, adequate warning signs, proper lighting, and sufficient security measures. Failing to meet these obligations can result in significant liability if someone is injured on your property. Business invitees—customers and others invited onto the property for business purposes—are owed the highest duty of care under Colorado law. Our attorneys understand these legal standards and work to establish when a business has failed to meet its obligations to maintain safe premises.

Determining Liability in Retail Accidents

Establishing liability in these cases depends on whether the business knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, how long the hazard existed, and what steps were taken to address it. Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC meticulously investigates these factors to build strong cases for our clients. We review security footage, maintenance records, prior incident reports, and other evidence to establish business owner knowledge of hazardous conditions. Our thorough approach allows us to effectively counter common defense strategies, such as claims that the hazard was temporary or that the injured person was not paying adequate attention.

How Our Attorneys Can Help

Our experienced attorneys navigate the complexities of retail and business liability claims to protect your rights and interests. Whether you’re an injured customer seeking compensation or a business defending against a premises liability claim, we provide strategic legal guidance tailored to your specific situation. For injury victims, we work to document all aspects of your damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any long-term impairments. Our goal is to secure full and fair compensation that addresses both your current needs and any future expenses related to your injuries.

Inadequate Security Claims

Inadequate security claims arise when property owners fail to provide reasonable safety measures, resulting in preventable harm. At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the devastating impact of security negligence on victims of assault, robbery, or other crimes at apartments, hotels, parking garages, or businesses. Our attorneys have successfully represented many clients who suffered injuries due to insufficient security measures and work tirelessly to hold negligent property owners accountable for these preventable incidents.

Property owners have a legal obligation to implement appropriate security measures based on foreseeable risks, including adequate lighting, functional locks, security personnel, cameras, and controlled access points. When these measures are lacking and crime occurs, victims may have grounds for compensation. The level of security required depends on various factors, including the property’s location, crime history in the area, and the nature of the business. Our attorneys analyze these factors to establish when security measures fell below reasonable standards, creating conditions that allowed criminal activity to occur.

To establish an inadequate security claim, you must demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known about potential risks, failed to implement reasonable security measures, and that this negligence directly contributed to your injuries. Documentation of the incident, security conditions, and prompt reporting strengthen your case. Our lawyers work with security experts to establish industry standards and proper security protocols for different types of properties. This expert testimony helps clearly demonstrate how the property owner’s security failures created an environment where criminal activity was more likely to occur.

The experienced attorneys at Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC investigate thoroughly, gathering evidence of security lapses, reviewing crime statistics, and consulting security experts. We identify all potentially liable parties—from property owners to security companies—to maximize your recovery. Our comprehensive approach examines maintenance records, security policies, staff training procedures, and prior incident reports to build a compelling case that connects security negligence to your injuries. We work diligently to counter defense claims that your injuries were unforeseeable or that security was adequate under the circumstances.

If you’ve been harmed due to insufficient security measures, contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC today for a confidential consultation. We’ll fight to secure compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages while holding negligent property owners accountable for their failure to maintain reasonably safe premises. Our attorneys understand the physical and emotional trauma that results from these incidents and provide compassionate representation focused on your recovery and financial security.

Our experienced attorneys have successfully represented many clients injured in parking lot and sidewalk falls throughout Colorado, securing the compensation they deserve for these preventable accidents.

Common Causes of Falls

Uneven pavement, potholes, inadequate lighting, and weather conditions like ice or snow create dangerous conditions in parking lots and on sidewalks. Property owners who fail to address these hazards may be liable for resulting injuries. Our attorneys at Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC carefully investigate these factors to establish negligence in your case. We also handle claims involving cracked sidewalks, improper drainage leading to icy conditions, poorly designed curbs or steps, and other maintenance failures that create trip and fall hazards for pedestrians. Our thorough approach includes documenting all dangerous conditions through photographs, measurements, and expert analysis when necessary.

Types of Injuries

These accidents frequently result in broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and soft tissue injuries. The severity often depends on the fall’s impact and the victim’s age or pre-existing conditions. Even seemingly minor falls can cause significant long-term health issues that require extensive medical treatment. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries from sidewalk and parking lot falls, often suffering hip fractures, head injuries, and other trauma that may lead to permanent disability. Our attorneys work with medical experts to fully understand the impact of these injuries on your life and ensure your compensation reflects both immediate and long-term consequences.

Liability in Parking Lot and Sidewalk Falls

Determining who’s responsible—property owners, management companies, or maintenance contractors—requires legal expertise. Colorado premises liability laws establish specific duties of care based on your status as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Our team at Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC navigates these complex legal classifications to build your strongest case for compensation. We investigate all potential sources of liability, examining property ownership records, maintenance contracts, and management agreements to identify all parties who may share responsibility for the dangerous condition that caused your fall.
