What to Do After a Slip and Fall
The hours and days after a fall can feel confusing and overwhelming. You might be dealing with pain, embarrassment, and pressure from a property owner or insurer to move on quickly. Taking a few practical steps can help protect your health and your legal options.
After a slip and fall, it is important to:
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially if you are experiencing pain or believe you may have suffered a serious injury
- Report the incident to the property owner, manager, landlord, or appropriate employee and ensure there is a record of what happened
- Document the scene by taking photographs of the condition that caused the fall, such as ice, spills, uneven surfaces, or damaged stairs
- Gather evidence, including photos of your footwear and clothing and contact information for any witnesses
- Keep copies of medical records, treatment recommendations, and other documents related to your injuries
- Notify property management in writing when a fall occurs at an apartment complex or rental property
- Be cautious when speaking with property representatives or insurance adjusters
- Speak with a slip and fall lawyer to better understand your rights and legal options under Colorado law before providing a formal statement

How We Build Strong Slip and Fall Claims
Many people are unsure whether they have a valid claim after a fall. They may feel partly at fault or worry that they should have been more careful. Colorado premises liability law recognizes that property owners and those who control property have duties to keep visitors reasonably safe.
Our team builds slip and fall claims by:
- Investigating how the hazardous condition developed and how long it existed before the fall
- Gathering and reviewing medical records, incident reports, photographs, witness statements, and other available evidence
- Examining property maintenance, inspection, and safety practices to determine whether reasonable steps were taken to address known hazards
- Determining whether employees, managers, or other responsible parties knew or should have known about the dangerous condition
- Reviewing available camera footage and other evidence to understand the circumstances leading up to the fall
- Identifying all potentially responsible parties, including property owners, tenant businesses, management companies, and contractors
- Evaluating insurance coverage and directing claims to the appropriate insurers and responsible parties
- Using a collaborative approach that includes attorneys, paralegals, investigators, and other professionals when appropriate
- Building well-supported claims designed to strengthen negotiations with insurance companies and support litigation when necessary
Liability is not always limited to a single person or company. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may rest with a property owner, a business tenant, a management company, or a contractor involved with maintaining the property. While Mr. Tenge leads each case, our team works together to investigate the facts, organize evidence, and develop a clear explanation of what happened and how the injuries occurred. Our goal is to present a strong, well-prepared claim supported by thorough investigation and careful preparation.
Compensation and the Legal Process After a Slip and Fall Accident
After a serious fall, you may be unable to work, facing frequent medical appointments, and worrying about how to keep up with your bills. A premises liability claim is one way to seek financial accountability from those who allowed an unsafe condition to exist. Although no attorney can predict an outcome in advance, certain categories of losses are common in these cases.
Compensation in a slip and fall claim may include:
- Past and future medical expenses, including emergency treatment, imaging, follow-up care, physical therapy, surgery, and other necessary treatment
- Lost income resulting from time away from work during recovery
- Reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent a return to the same job or limit future employment opportunities
- Compensation for pain, physical limitations, and diminished quality of life
- Long-term care expenses when serious injuries require ongoing support or treatment
Our process typically begins with a free consultation, where we listen to what happened, review available information, and explain how Colorado law may apply. If we move forward together, we conduct an investigation, request records, and communicate with insurance companies on your behalf. We work to present a complete picture of your injuries and losses, then pursue a fair resolution through settlement discussions.
If an insurer refuses to take a reasonable position, filing a lawsuit in the appropriate district court can be the next step. For incidents in or around Broomfield, that often means proceeding in a Colorado state court that has jurisdiction over the location of the property. Litigation can involve written discovery, depositions, and motions, and we prepare each case with the possibility of trial in mind.
Our firm typically handles slip and fall claims on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay upfront attorney fees. Our goal is to make legal representation accessible when you are already under financial stress. Because we keep our caseload limited, we are able to respond promptly to your calls, texts, and emails, explain each step, and help you make informed decisions as your case moves forward.
At the Tenge Law Firm LLC, we feel a profound responsibility to ensure our client’s physical and emotional well being during one of the worst times of their life. We've put together a page of resources to help you gain legal expertise and education about the law.
