When someone mentions fun activities in Colorado, skiing is often one of the first things that come to mind. Each year, countless individuals and families hit the slopes, reveling in the chance to enjoy the crisp air while they speed down snow-covered mountains. Tragically, the fun ends for some when a skiing accident occurs. While many people experience some slight scrapes and bruises when skiing, many accidents are severe and require hospitalization.

Ski and Snowboard Injuries that May Require Help From a Colorado Personal Injury Lawyer

Hitting the snow can be dangerous in the best of conditions. Since it’s so easy to become injured in an accident, the state of Colorado has set in place certain laws to make sure that everyone is responsible while engaging in skiing or snowboarding. When skiing or snowboarding, participants are expected to pay attention, show respect, and avoid others. When an “uphill” skier ignores these rules, they may crash into someone below them. If you were involved in a collision with another skier or snowboarder, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if the offending party has no money, their homeowner’s insurance may cover the cost.

Faulty Equipment

There is no way to verbalize the fear that a skier or snowboarder feels when they discover that the equipment they are using is not operating properly. Here at Zinda Law Group, we understand what you’ve been through and will work tirelessly to get compensation for your injuries. We will work to determine if the manufacturers, rental company, or resort is to blame, and then develop a court case around your injuries.

Ski Lifts and Machinery

When properly managed and well maintained, the lifts and machinery used at ski slopes are safe. However, this is not always the case. Some people are injured during a lift malfunction, when someone improperly uses the lift, or when the victim came in contact with other machinery. Resorts should only hire trained professionals to operate machinery and should routinely check it for defects. If you’ve been injured in an accident that involved ski lifts or machinery, you could be entitled to compensation.

Ski Resorts and Areas

Some ski and snowboard accidents occur if the resort or area is not well-maintained. For instance, a skier may suffer injury if they run into debris, hit a misplaced sign, or come upon an unexpected fence. While Colorado law makes it difficult to file a lawsuit against a ski resort or area, your case is not hopeless in the hands of our trained staff. We will carefully investigate your accident and determine if a lawsuit is possible.
