$1.3 Million Settlement for Snowboard Collision at Steamboat
On March 1, 2024, our client, Y.Y., was seriously injured in a snowboarder/snowboarder collision at Steamboat Ski Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Y.Y. was riding on the Tomahawk Face trail when the defendant approached from uphill. As the defendant attempted to pass from above, he lost control and collided into Y.Y. at a high rate of speed. Under Colorado law, uphill riders have the primary duty to avoid those below.
As a result of the crash, our client suffered serious injuries, including a left orbital floor fracture that had to be surgically repaired and a nondisplaced fracture of her left tibia.
Partner Russell Hatten represented Y.Y. in this matter and successfully secured a $1,300,000 settlement on her behalf.
