Florence Child Premises Injury Lawyers for Injuries on Someone Else's Property
McCormick & Murphy are Florence child premises injury lawyers for families after a child is hurt on someone else's property. We file in Fremont County Combined Courts.
A child hurt on someone else's property in Florence does not automatically win a claim just because they are young. The child's legal status on the property still depends on why they were there, whether they were invited, and what the property owner knew or should have known. There is no automatic age cutoff that changes the analysis, and we look at the actual facts of the visit before drawing conclusions.
Pools, trampolines, and play equipment show up often in these cases, but having one on a property is not automatic liability. We look at how the condition was maintained, whether there were warnings or barriers, and whether the owner took reasonable steps given the risk the equipment or feature presented. The presence of an attractive feature is a fact we investigate, not a shortcut to fault.
Because the injured party is a minor, a parent or guardian often needs to manage the claim on the child's behalf. We walk families through what that involves and help make sure the child's interests are protected as the claim moves forward.
What We Preserve: Photos, Maintenance Records, and Witness Statements
We gather statements from anyone who saw what happened, photos of the pool, equipment, or hazard involved, and any maintenance or inspection records the property owner has. We also look at whether the property had prior incidents or complaints involving the same condition, since that history can speak to what the owner knew.
If your child suffered a head injury in the fall, that injury can overlap with a traumatic brain injury claim. We handle those injuries through our dedicated brain injury practice, and we can walk you through how that fits with the premises claim.
- Get your child medical attention and follow up on any recommended care
- Take photos of the pool, equipment, or condition that caused the injury
- Write down what your child and any witnesses remember about what happened
- Get the names of other children or adults who were present
- Avoid discussing fault with the property owner or their insurer before speaking with us

Do I need Florence child premises injury lawyers after an injury?

Is a property owner automatically liable if my child got hurt on a trampoline or pool?
No. Having a pool or trampoline on the property is a fact we look at, but it does not by itself establish liability. We examine how the feature was maintained, whether there were warnings or safeguards, and what the owner knew about the risk.
Does my child's age determine whether the owner owed a duty of care?
Age is one factor, but there is no fixed cutoff that decides the case. What matters is why the child was on the property and what the owner knew or should have known about the risk to a visitor in that situation.
Can I file a claim on my child's behalf?
Yes, a parent or guardian typically needs to manage a minor's claim. We can explain what that process looks like for your family and help make sure it is handled correctly.
My child suffered a head injury when they fell. Does that change the claim?
A head injury can overlap with a traumatic brain injury claim, which we handle separately through our brain injury practice. We can look at both angles together so nothing about your child's injury is overlooked.
Where would a lawsuit be filed if we don't settle?
Premises liability cases from Florence are generally filed in Fremont County Combined Courts in Cañon City. We handle that process and keep you informed at each step.
