Broomfield Store And Restaurant Fall Lawyers
McCormick & Murphy are Broomfield store and restaurant fall lawyers for people hurt in a fall inside a store or restaurant. We file in Broomfield Combined Courts.
When you walk into a store or restaurant in Broomfield to shop or eat, you are typically considered an invitee under Colorado premises law. That status means the owner owes a duty to address dangers it actually knew about, and dangers it should have known about through reasonable care. Spilled drinks, tracked-in water near entrances along U.S. Highway 36 or 120th Avenue, greasy floors near food service areas, and freshly mopped sections without adequate warning are common examples we see.
The strength of a spill or hazard claim often comes down to a few key questions: how did the substance or condition get on the floor, how long had it been there before you fell, did staff or management know about it, and did the business have any regular practice of checking its floors and aisles. These questions do not have automatic answers. Each case depends on what actually happened and what the evidence shows.
We do not tell clients that a wet-floor sign automatically defeats a claim, and we do not tell clients that a missing sign automatically proves the store was negligent. Both scenarios require a closer look at the full picture, including how the hazard came to be there and what the business did or did not do about it.
What Proves A Broomfield Store Or Restaurant Fall Claim
Surveillance footage is often the single most valuable piece of evidence in a store or restaurant fall. It can show when a spill occurred, how long it sat before your fall, and whether any employee walked past it without addressing the hazard. Many businesses overwrite or delete footage on a routine cycle, so we move quickly to request preservation once we are retained.
Incident reports, cleanup or inspection logs, and employee statements taken near the time of the fall can also help establish what the business knew and when. We gather these records along with photos of the scene, your own account of what happened, and any witness information from other customers who may have seen the spill or the fall itself.
- Report the fall to a manager and ask for a written incident report
- Photograph the spill, the floor, and the surrounding area before it is cleaned
- Get names and contact information for any witnesses nearby
- Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing at the time
- Seek medical evaluation and follow through with recommended care
Spill And Fall Claims Along Broomfield's Retail Corridors
Broomfield's retail and dining corridors along U.S. Highway 36, 120th Avenue, and Colorado Highway 121 see heavy foot traffic every day, and falls in these businesses happen more often than people expect. We work with clients throughout the City and County of Broomfield, including areas near Midway Boulevard and the Westminster border, to investigate what caused a fall and hold the responsible business accountable.
If your fall required medical treatment, records from providers such as UCHealth Broomfield Hospital can help document your injuries and connect them to the incident. When a claim needs to go to court, cases from this area are typically handled through Broomfield Combined Courts. Our office is based in Denver, and we meet with Broomfield clients to review the details of their fall and explain their options.

What Broomfield Clients Ask About Spills And Store Falls
Do I need Broomfield store and restaurant fall lawyers after an injury?
Call Broomfield store and restaurant fall lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is in Denver, CO.
Does a wet-floor sign protect the store from a claim?
Not automatically. A sign is one factor among many, and whether it was adequate, visible, or properly placed still matters. We look at the full circumstances rather than treating a sign as an automatic defense.
What if there was no warning sign at all?
The absence of a sign does not automatically prove the business was negligent either. We still need to show the business knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it within a reasonable time.
How do I prove the spill was there for a while before I fell?
Surveillance footage, employee schedules, and inspection or cleaning logs can help show how long a hazard existed. Witness accounts from other customers or staff can also support this timeline.
What should I do if the store refuses to give me an incident report?
Write down everything you remember as soon as possible, including time, location, and any employees you spoke with. We can request records directly from the business once we are involved.
Where would my case be handled if it goes to court?
Premises liability claims arising in Broomfield are typically filed in Broomfield Combined Courts. We handle these filings and can walk you through what to expect at each stage.
