Manitou Springs Child Premises Injury Lawyers For Families
McCormick & Murphy are Manitou Springs child premises injury lawyers for families after a child is hurt on someone else's property. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
People sometimes assume a child hurt on someone else's property is automatically treated as an invitee with the strongest legal protection. That is not how it works. A child's status on the property still depends on why the child was there and the relationship between the property owner and the family, and we walk through those facts before drawing conclusions.
Manitou Springs properties with pools, trampolines, or play equipment come up often in these cases, from homes near Ruxton Avenue to rentals along Manitou Avenue. The presence of that kind of feature is a fact about the property, not proof of automatic liability. We look at how the condition was maintained, whether warnings or barriers were reasonable, and what the property owner knew or should have known.
When a parent needs to bring a claim on behalf of a minor, there are procedural steps involved in managing that claim. We do not guess at those requirements here. We explain the actual process to the family once we understand the facts of the case and where it will be filed, which for this area is typically El Paso County Combined Courts.
What Documents The Injury And The Property Condition
Photos of the property condition, any pool or play equipment involved, and the surrounding area help show what the child encountered. Witness accounts from other adults or children present, along with any prior complaints about the same hazard, can support the claim. If emergency responders were called, those records matter too.
Medical treatment records tie the injury to the incident and show its severity. Families near Old Colorado City or along U.S. Highway 24 who sought care may have gone to UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs, and those records become part of the file. If the child suffered a head injury from a fall, that can overlap with a brain-injury claim, and our brain-injury page addresses that separately.
- Photos of the property, equipment, or condition involved
- Names and contact information for any witnesses
- Medical records and bills from any treatment received
- Notes on what the property owner said after the incident
- Any prior knowledge the owner had of the hazard

What Should You Do Next After Your Child Was Hurt?
Do I need Manitou Springs child premises injury lawyers after an injury?
Call Manitou Springs child premises injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
Is my child automatically considered an invitee if they were hurt on someone's property?
No, a child's legal status depends on the circumstances of why they were on the property, not just their age. We review the facts of each situation before determining how the claim should be approached.
Does having a pool or trampoline mean the property owner is automatically liable?
No. The presence of a pool, trampoline, or play equipment is a fact about the property, but it does not by itself create liability. We look at maintenance, warnings, and what the owner knew about the risk.
Can I file a claim on behalf of my child?
A parent generally needs to manage a minor's claim, and there are procedural steps involved in doing so. We explain those steps once we understand your child's case and where it will be handled.
My child had a head injury from a fall. Is that handled the same way?
A head injury from a fall can overlap with a brain-injury claim, which involves its own considerations. We address that in more detail on our brain-injury page and can discuss how it applies to your situation.
