Slip & Fall in Aspen: Premises Claims + Proof
Slip and fall claims often succeed or fail on proof—what the hazard was, how long it existed, and whether the property owner knew (or should have known) about it.
What to do after a slip and fall
report the incident and request documentation
photograph the hazard and surrounding area
collect witness info
preserve footwear/clothing if relevant
get medical care and document symptoms
What proof matters most
condition of the surface (ice, liquid, broken flooring, poor lighting)
notice: whether the owner knew/should have known
cleaning/maintenance logs (when available)
surveillance video (request preservation quickly)
incident reports and witness statements
How we build premises cases
identify responsible parties and insurance coverage
preserve video and documentation early
build the medical story and damages model
