THE SIMPLE FACTSTM...Skiing is a fun sport. The mountains, snow, cold crisp weather and blue skies make it a memorable time. But, you certainly have to be careful and prepared every time you go skiing. Skiing, although fun, can be inherently dangerous and skiers can get hurt skiing. And, if you get hurt skiing, it can depend on the type of accident and the circumstances surrounding the accident in order to determine whether you have a viable claim. The typical types of ski and snowboard accident cases may revolve around the following scenarios:
- Ski Collision - A skier(s) or snowboarder(s) collide with another skier
- Ski Lift - A skier is injured as a result of a faulty, defective, or improperly maintained or operated ski lift
- Falls while Skiing - Falls attributable to an improperly designed, maintained, marked or groomed slope
- Ski Instructor -A skier has an accident which may be attributable to the instructor
- Equipment - A skier has an accident which may be attributable to the skier's equipment
Most states have ski liability laws that govern the liability of people or companies that may be involved in a skiing accident. Sometimes, the laws insulate the ski area operator against personal injury skiing accident claims. But, when negligence of either the facility, its employees or other skiers caused the injury, the tables may turn in your favor.
