Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Colorado

Re: Resort Injuries

Usually not. The lift tickets all contain waivers and releases from liability for these events. In the end, though, it would depend on the law of the state where the incident ocurred, so check with a lawyer there.

Re: Resort Injuries

For the most part, individuals participating in these types of activities assume the risks involved or inherent to them. Hurling yourself down a mountain naturally entails some risk and the possibility of injury. There are some rare cases, but that depends upon the individual facts of the case. For more information (if you really believe the resort caused the accident), I would suggest that you consult with an attorney in the location where the accident happened.
