Ski Accident Claims Guide
How to file a ski accident lawsuit.
Report to Ski Patrol
Report the accident to ski patrol immediately. They will document the incident, which is crucial evidence. Get a copy of the incident report.
Seek Medical Attention
Get medical care right away. Mountain clinics can provide initial treatment, but follow up with your own doctor for complete documentation.
Document Everything
Take photos of the accident location, hazards, equipment, and your injuries. Get contact info for witnesses. Note trail conditions and any unmarked hazards.
Preserve Your Lift Ticket
Your lift ticket contains the liability waiver. Keep it for your attorney to review. The waiver may not apply to all types of negligence.
Consult Ski Accident Attorney
Ski resort cases involve complex defenses like inherent risk doctrine. An experienced attorney can evaluate if the waiver applies and identify viable claims.
