Englewood Snow And Ice Fall Claims Under C.R.S. § 13-21-115
McCormick & Murphy are Englewood snow and ice fall lawyers for people hurt in a fall on snow or ice. We file in Arapahoe County Justice Center.
Snow and ice falls on sidewalks, entrances, and outdoor walkways are treated as a property condition claim under C.R.S. § 13‑21‑115. That statute controls how these cases are analyzed in Colorado, and it looks at both your status on the property and what the landowner knew or should have known about the condition.
Your status matters. A customer walking into a store or restaurant along South Broadway or Hampden Avenue is often an invitee, which carries the landowner's highest duty of care. Someone crossing private property for another reason may fall into a different category, and we do not assign a status until we have the facts of how and why you were on the property.
The landowner's knowledge of the ice or snow is central to the claim. We look at whether the property owner or manager knew about the condition, whether they had a chance to address it, and whether the area had been plowed, salted, or otherwise treated before your fall.
How We Document What The Landowner Knew And When
Photos of the ice or snow, taken as close to the time of the fall as possible, are some of the strongest evidence we can use. We also pull weather records for the Englewood area to show what conditions existed leading up to and at the time of your fall, and we look into whether the property had a plowing or salting schedule and whether it was followed.
How long the condition existed before your fall is a key fact, but we do not assign a specific number of hours or days it needs to have been there. Instead we gather witness statements, maintenance logs, and surveillance footage where available to build a timeline showing what the landowner knew and when.
- Photos of the ice, snow, or unshoveled area where you fell
- The clothing and shoes you were wearing at the time
- Contact information for anyone who saw you fall
- Any incident report filed with the store or property manager
- Medical records from any treatment you received after the fall

Englewood Snow And Ice Fall Questions, Answered
Do I need Englewood snow and ice fall lawyers after an injury?
Call Englewood snow and ice 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.
Do I have a case if I fell on ice in a parking lot?
It depends on your status on the property and what the landowner knew about the ice. We look at whether the area had been plowed or treated and how the condition came to exist. Every case depends on its specific facts.
Does it matter how long the ice had been there?
Yes, but we do not assign a set number of hours or days that ice must exist before a landowner is responsible. Instead we gather evidence like weather records and maintenance logs to show what the landowner knew or should have known.
What if I was on someone's property for a personal reason, not as a customer?
Your status as a visitor affects the duty the landowner owed you. A customer at a business is often treated differently than someone on private property for another purpose. We review the facts of your visit before determining your status.
What evidence should I collect after a snow or ice fall?
Photos of the ice or snow, information about the weather that day, and witness contact information are all valuable. An incident report and your medical records also help support the claim.
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer about my fall?
