Recreational Accidents
Colorado Recreational Accidents - Boating, Skiing, ATVsMany serious injuries result from the enjoyment of recreational vehicles such as personal watercraft, all-terrain vehicles, and snowmobiles. Special liability rules can apply to accidents suffered in outdoor activities, depending on the sport or setting. For reliable advice and experienced representation in complex accident cases, contact Denver personal injury lawyer John Mattey for a free consultation. An example of the legal rules that can apply to particular recreational activities is the principle that the skier downhill has the right of way on the slopes, so that any skier following bears primary responsibility for avoiding a collision. Colorado homeowner's insurance policies usually cover liability for injuries in skiing accidents, and we can review the responsible party's coverage to make sure that your injuries and economic losses can be paid by the defendant's insurer or your own. At John J. Mattey Law Offices, we also represent persons injured in such other recreational vehicles or activities as:
In all cases, we will make a careful investigation of the circumstances of the accident. We will also work with you and your treating physicians to make sure that all components of your physical injuries are documented for compensation.

Fatal accidents also can occur on the ski slopes or on the water.
