Child Premises Injury Claims in Pueblo
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo child premises injury lawyers for families after a child is hurt on someone else's property. We file in Pueblo County District Court.
A child being on someone's property does not automatically make them an invitee entitled to the highest level of care. Status still depends on why the child was there in the first place, whether they were invited, permitted to be there, or present for another reason. We look at the specific facts of how your child came to be on the property before we can say what duty the owner owed.
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 automatically liable if a child gets hurt using it or falling near it. 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.
These cases require a careful look at what happened, who was supervising, and what the property owner knew about the condition before the injury. We walk through those facts with you and explain what we can and cannot support with evidence.
Evidence in a Pueblo Child Premises Injury Claim
We gather photographs of the pool, trampoline, play equipment, or other condition involved, along with any maintenance or inspection records the owner may have. Witness accounts from other adults or children present matter, as does information about fencing, gates, warnings, or supervision arrangements at the time.
Medical records documenting your child's injury and treatment are central to the claim. If your child was treated at CommonSpirit Parkview Medical Center or another local provider, we help collect those records and connect them to the events on the property, whether the injury happened in Pueblo West, Bessemer, Downtown Pueblo, Belmont, or elsewhere in the area.

Do You Need Pueblo Child Premises Injury Lawyers? What To Do Next
Do I need Pueblo child premises injury lawyers after an injury?
Call Pueblo child premises injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Pueblo office is at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003.
Is a property owner automatically liable if a child gets hurt on a trampoline or in a pool?
No. Having a pool, trampoline, or play equipment is just a fact about the property. Liability depends on what the owner knew about the risk and whether they acted reasonably in response, not on the mere presence of the feature.
Does my child count as an invitee just because they were on the property?
Not automatically. A child's legal status still depends on the reason they were there and the circumstances of their presence, similar to how it works for adults. We review the specific facts before drawing any conclusions about duty owed.
Do I need to do anything special to bring a claim on my child's behalf?
A parent may need to manage a minor's claim through a specific court process. We can explain what that involves once we understand your child's situation and the property where the injury happened.
My child suffered a head injury from a fall. Does that change the type of claim?
A head injury from a fall on someone's property can overlap with a brain injury claim, which involves its own considerations. We'd point you to our brain injury page for that side of things while handling the premises liability side here.
Where would a premises liability claim involving my child be handled?
Claims arising in the Pueblo area, including neighborhoods like Pueblo West, Bessemer, Downtown Pueblo, and Belmont, would generally proceed through Pueblo County District Court if litigation becomes necessary.
