If you have been injured while skiing or snowboarding because of the negligence of another person, company, or organization, then you may be entitled to compensation for your pain, medical bills and wage loss.

Skiers and snowboarders have a duty and responsibility to obey the skier’s responsibility code, a state statute that lays out safe skiing rules for the hill. When another skier or snowboarder negligently fails to adhere to the rules and causes an injury, you may have a claim against them.

You may also have a claim for injuries caused by the actions or failure to act by employees of the mountain or other event organizers on the mountain. A different set of rules applies to these claims and requires a careful analysis by a ski and snowboard accident lawyer.

If you have been injured in a skiing or snowboarding accident and any of these or similar potential factors are involved in your incident, you need to consult with an attorney to determine if the claim is actionable.

Ann Thoeny encourages you to contact her to discuss the facts of your incident and provide a legal analysis while you or your loved one concentrate on getting the medical care needed to resolve your injury.
