Common Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Slip-and-fall accidents can happen virtually anywhere, often resulting from hazardous conditions that could have been prevented. Some common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include:

Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, leaks, or improper cleaning can leave floors wet and slippery, posing a significant risk to unsuspecting individuals.
Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, potholes, or poorly maintained parking lots can lead to trips and falls.
Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit areas can make it difficult to see hazards, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Lack of Handrails: Staircases without handrails or handrails in disrepair can result in dangerous falls.
Negligent Maintenance: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their premises. Neglecting repairs or failing to address hazards promptly can lead to accidents.
Weather Conditions: Snow and ice accumulation can create treacherous walking conditions, especially during Colorado's winter.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Slip-and-Fall Accident in Colorado?

Colorado's statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit, including slip-and-fall accidents, is typically two years from the incident date. However, there can be exceptions and nuances to this rule, making it crucial to consult with an experienced Denver slip-and-fall accident lawyer as soon as possible.

It's essential to act swiftly because you need more time to pursue legal action to ensure your ability to recover compensation.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Slip-and-Fall Accident?

You may be entitled to various damages when injured in a slip-and-fall accident due to someone else's negligence. These damages can help you recover from the physical, emotional, and financial burdens imposed by your injuries. Potentially recoverable damages may include:

Medical Expenses: You can seek compensation for current and future medical bills. This also includes hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and prescription medications.
Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent working, you may recover lost income and potential future earnings.
Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages may be awarded to compensate you for the physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life caused by the accident.
Property Damage: If personal property was damaged in the accident, such as clothing or personal items, you may be able to seek compensation for their repair or replacement.
Punitive Damages: In extreme negligence or intentional misconduct cases, the court may award punitive damages to punish the responsible party and deter similar behavior.
Wrongful Death Damages: If a loved one has tragically lost their life in a slip-and-fall accident, surviving family members may be entitled to wrongful death damages to cover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.

At the Law Office of Joseph A. Lazzara, P.C., we understand that every slip-and-fall case is unique, and we are dedicated to pursuing the maximum compensation you deserve based on the specific circumstances of your situation.

"The DAs and the judges knew who he was and you can tell that they respected him."
Joe Lazzara is the best DUI attorney in the Denver area. I had a DUI in Douglas County and I went to court by myself several times and not only were they not offering me anything but I was looking at jail. I hired Joe Lazzara and he was able to get my case dismissed entirely. The DAs and the judges knew who he was and you can tell that they respected him. I was trying to play it safe but when your life and future is on the line, don't play games, hire Joe Lazzara. His fees are reasonable but his experience is invaluable. I strongly recommend Joe Lazzara to anyone facing a DUI.

"I was nervous and scared because I screwed up, but he put my mind at ease, went to work, and I was shocked when he was able to get my case resolved."
Joseph Lazzara obtained an amazing result on my case. I was nervous and scared because I screwed up, but he put my mind at ease, went to work, and I was shocked when he was able to get my case resolved with a result that I never dreamed was possible.

- Former Client
"Great Attorney. Great result. I highly recommend Joe."
Joe Lazzara did a great job for me. I was involved in an automobile accident and was seriously hurt. Joe took on my case and provided personal attention to it. It was not like those big PI firms on TV but I dealt with him and his staff on a regular basis. He had my best interests at heart. Ultimately we settled my case for $300,000 more than the insurance company initially offered. Great result. I highly recommend Joe.

- John
"He was able to get my daughter the best deal possible and we were very pleased with the experience from start to finish."
My daughter got a DUI. We called Joe and he and his staff were a pleasure to work with during this terrible time. He was able to get my daughter the best deal possible and we were very pleased with the experience from start to finish.

- Former Client
"Both he and his office staff were great at communication and fighting for the best outcome and have continued to assist with any additional questions."
Obviously from the second you get a DUI/DWAI, you feel small and scared (at least this is how I felt) and unsure about what laid ahead. I went online to look for reviews of an attorney my friend had referred me to. Luckily, I saw a review of Joseph A Lazzara; he had raving reviews so I made a phone call that day to schedule a consultation. From the beginning thru the end…Joe explained everything that was ahead of me (the unknown was the scariest part of the entire process for me). Both he and his office staff were great at communication and fighting for the best outcome and have continued to assist with any additional questions, including representing me w/ my DMV hearing. He fought for me to keep my license and even helped me get a reduction of my therapy track after I completed everything the court had asked of me. He helped me save time away from my family and money I would have spent on additional therapy sessions, even the judge said he rarely reduced his original decision. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joseph Lazzara for anyone facing any charges within the court system, he will fight for you until the end!

- Heather
"I strongly recommend Joe to anyone. He will fight for you."
When I was rear-ended by a semi, my world turned upside down. I was sitting in the hospital room in pain, wondering how I would pay my mounting medical bills and other bills since I was not capable of working. I was scared to death. When I called Joe Lazzara he worked tirelessly on my case. I strongly recommend Joe to anyone. He will fight for you.

- Joe
"He was thorough, easy to talk to and although the case took a while it was ultimately pled down."
Joe Lazzara did an amazing job for me. He was thorough, easy to talk to and although the case took a while it was ultimately pled down from a DUI to careless driving, a four point ticket, which I gladly accept as I rear ended someone. I recommend Joe Lazzara and his entire office staff.

- John
"He never gave up on me, knew the law and facts were on my side and was brilliant in the courtroom."
Joseph Lazzara was very hands on and knowledgeable about the case. The criminal case took almost a year but in the end, and after a trial, the verdict was Not Guilty. He never gave up on me, knew the law and facts were on my side and was brilliant in the courtroom.

- Patty
