Denver Child Premises Injury Lawyers For Children Hurt On Another's Property
McCormick & Murphy are Denver child premises injury lawyers for families after a child is hurt on someone else's property. We file in Denver District Court.
A child is not automatically treated as an invitee just because they are a child. Whether the property owner owed a higher or lower duty of care still depends on why the child was on the property in the first place, including whether the owner invited the visit, permitted it, or knew nothing about it. We look at the facts of each case rather than assume a particular legal status applies.
A pool, trampoline, or piece of play equipment on a property is simply a fact about that property. It does not by itself mean the owner is liable for an injury that happened there. We look at whether the owner knew or should have known the condition posed a danger to children and whether they took reasonable steps in response.
Because the injured person is a minor, a parent or guardian may need to manage the claim on the child's behalf. We do not guess at the exact court procedure involved in that process, but we can walk families through what to expect as a case moves forward in Denver District Court.
What We Preserve: Photos, Maintenance Records, And Medical Documentation
Photos of the pool, trampoline, or play equipment involved, along with any fencing, gates, warning signs, or supervision arrangements in place at the time, can matter a great deal. We also look at maintenance records, prior complaints, and any history of similar incidents on the same property.
Medical records documenting the injury and treatment help establish what happened and how serious it was. If your child suffered a head injury in a fall, that may overlap with a brain-injury claim, and we encourage you to review our brain-injury page for more on how we handle those cases specifically.

Denver Child Premises Injury FAQ: Do I Need A Lawyer After My Child Was Hurt?
Do I need Denver child premises injury lawyers after an injury?
Call Denver child premises injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Denver office is in Denver, CO.
Is a property owner automatically liable if my child got hurt on a trampoline or in a pool?
No. The presence of a pool, trampoline, or play equipment is a fact about the property, not automatic proof of liability. We look at whether the owner knew of a danger and failed to respond reasonably.
Does my child count as an invitee just because they're a minor?
Not automatically. A child's legal status on the property still depends on the circumstances of why they were there, similar to how it works for an adult. We evaluate the specific facts of your situation rather than assume a status.
Do I need to do anything special as a parent to bring a claim for my child?
Because your child is a minor, there may be steps a parent or guardian needs to take to manage the claim. We can guide you through what is involved as your case moves forward.
My child hit their head in the fall. Does that change the case?
It might. A head injury from a fall can overlap with a brain-injury claim, and we encourage you to look at our brain-injury page for more detail on how those cases are handled.
