Northglenn Store and Restaurant Fall Lawyers
McCormick & Murphy are Northglenn store and restaurant fall lawyers for people hurt in a fall inside a store or restaurant. We file in Adams County Justice Center.
When you walk into a store or restaurant to shop or eat, you are generally treated as an invitee under Colorado 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.
These claims often come down to timing and knowledge. How did the spill or hazard get on the floor? How long had it been there before someone fell? Did any employee see it or walk past it? Did the business have any practice for checking floors and aisles, and was that practice followed on the day of the fall?
We look at the full picture rather than assuming any one fact decides the case. A missing wet-floor sign does not automatically mean the store is liable, and a sign being present does not automatically end a valid claim. What matters is whether the owner acted reasonably given what it knew or should have known.
Evidence We Use in Northglenn Store and Restaurant Fall Claims
Stores and restaurants often have surveillance footage covering aisles, entrances, and dining areas. That footage can show how long a spill or hazard sat before your fall and whether any employee walked by it. Incident reports filled out by staff after the fall, along with any cleanup or maintenance logs, can also help establish what the business knew and when.
We work to identify and request this evidence early, because footage can be overwritten and logs can be discarded as part of routine business practice. Witness statements from other customers or employees who saw the hazard, or who saw the fall itself, add another layer of support to the timeline we are building.
- Report the fall to a manager and ask for a written incident report
- Photograph the spill, hazard, and surrounding area before it is cleaned up
- Get names and contact information for any witnesses nearby
- Keep the shoes and clothing you wore at the time of the fall
- Seek medical care and follow up on any recommended treatment
Photograph the Hazard and Preserve Your Footwear After a Northglenn Fall
Northglenn sits along the I-25 corridor with retail and dining clustered near 104th Avenue and 120th Avenue, as well as along Washington Street. These commercial areas draw steady foot traffic, and falls in stores and restaurants here can raise the same questions about spills, floor conditions, and store inspection practices found anywhere in the area, including nearby Thornton.
Claims connected to Northglenn businesses are often handled out of the Adams County Justice Center, though some fall claims may also touch Weld County depending on where the incident occurred. If your fall required medical care, records from providers such as HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center can become an important part of documenting your injuries.

Is There Proof of How Long the Hazard Was There?
Do I need Northglenn store and restaurant fall lawyers after an injury?
Call Northglenn 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.
Do I have a claim if there was no wet-floor sign?
Not automatically. The absence of a sign is one fact among many, and we still need to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it reasonably.
What if the store had a wet-floor sign out?
A sign does not automatically end a valid claim. We look at where it was placed, whether it adequately warned of the specific hazard, and whether the owner otherwise acted reasonably.
How do you find out how long the spill was there?
Surveillance footage, incident reports, and staff statements can all help establish a timeline. We request this evidence early because some of it may not be kept for long.
I fell in a Northglenn restaurant but didn't report it right away. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Reporting sooner helps preserve evidence and creates a record, but we can still investigate and build a claim using other evidence like witness accounts and medical records.
What should I do right after falling in a store?
Ask for a written incident report, take photos of the hazard and area, get witness contact information if possible, and seek medical attention. These steps help protect the evidence we may need later.
