Pursuing Claims for Skiing & Snowboarding Injuries
Skiers and snowboarders have a responsibility to look out for others on the slopes. If you've been injured in a ski collision caused by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation from that person for your injuries.
In many cases, homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for ski accidents caused by the policyholder and, sometimes, members of the household. If the person who caused your accident is covered by such a policy, we can pursue a claim with the insurance company.
Even if you do not know the identity of the responsible person, the Ski Patrol — if it was called to the scene of your accident — likely conducted an investigation and can provide its findings.

Taking Your Side Against the Ski Area
Under Colorado's Skier Act, it is more difficult to pursue a personal injury claim against a ski resort than against an individual skier or snowboarder. To win a lawsuit against a ski area, your lawyer needs to prove that the resort was not just negligent but grossly negligent. Gross negligence would include creating a clear danger and completely failing to warn skiers of that danger.
Although the Skier Act is restrictive, it may be possible to bring a claim in your case. If you've been injured in a ski accident at a Colorado resort, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss whether you are able to bring a claim.
