Snow Sports Accidents & Injuries

The Slippery Slope Of Lawsuits

Ski hills and ATV and Snowmobile trails must meet specific standards to be considered safe to travel. While those individuals participating in these activities assume a certain degree of risk, the owners of these properties also have a responsibility to exercise a standard of care to make it safe. Additionally, other individuals on the ski hill or driving ATVs and Snowmobiles have the responsibility to protect the safety of others around them.

These claims can sometimes be complicated and we recommend you contact a lawyer for advice. For instance, when you sign up for a ski pass, many resorts will make you sign a waiver to protect them from being sued. Most ski passes will have a waiver right on the ski ticket itself that you may not have seen. Often times there are legal issues with the validity of the waiver, or the accident is often caused from some other individual skiing carelessly.

We Can Help

Unfortunately, many people suffer serious injury or death from these sports. Even if a waiver was signed, it may be possible to seek compensation. Whether you were injured from another individual partaking in the sport, or from the negligent management of the property or resort itself, contact our office for a free consultation.

Even the most responsible and skilled participants in these activities can be involved in an accident under circumstance out of their control. If you were injured in an accident involving a winter sport or a motor vehicle such as an ATV or snowmobile then call our office so we can fight for your rights.
