$225,000 Settlement for Ski Collision at Powderhorn
On March 13, 2024, our client, G.S., was seriously injured in a ski accident at Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Colorado after being struck by another skier.
G.S. was skiing downhill in control of her speed and direction and was clearly visible to uphill skiers. Under Colorado ski law, downhill skiers have the right of way. The defendant, skiing from uphill, violated this rule by launching off a jump from the wooded edge of the run and entering the trail airborne. He collided directly into the back of G.S., causing significant injuries.
As a result of this skier-on-skier collision, G.S. suffered a torn ACL that required surgical repair. She also experienced ongoing damages, including physical impairment, disability, and disfigurement.
Our attorneys at SkiLaw focus specifically on ski and snowboard accident cases, and we have handled more skier collision cases than any other law firm in the United States. In this case, Partner Evan Banker and Associate Attorney Hunter Hatten successfully secured a $225,000 settlement on behalf of our client.
