Deer Valley Ski Accident Attorney
Utah has some of the most scenic and iconic slopes to attract locals and tourists to our famous resorts in Deer Valley. The uniquely powdery snow and ideal winter weather conditions make skiing and snowboarding in Deer Valley a passion for many snow sports enthusiasts. But even the most experienced skiers and snowboarders can suffer severe injuries when someone else’s careless, reckless, or negligent actions cause a collision.
Some slope injuries result from negligent ski-lift maintenance, equipment failure, or other accidents with physical and economic consequences to the victim. Despite the laws protecting resort owners from liability in typical mishaps on the slopes through the inherent Risk of Skiing Act, our legal team can recover compensation for many ski and snowboard accidents caused by negligence or recklessness.

How To Prove Liability In Ski and Snowboard Accidents
Accidents can happen to any outdoor snow sports enthusiast when they’re hurtling down a snowy slope at high speed, but if someone else’s actions or negligence caused the accident, they are liable for your damages. Proving liability requires documenting evidence to show the following:
- The at-fault party had a duty of care to prevent causing harm to others through reasonable actions
- They breached this duty by acting with negligence or recklessness
- The breach of duty caused your accident and injury
- Your injury caused you to suffer economic and non-economic damages
In a personal injury claim in Utah ski accidents, the word “damages” refers to all consequences of the injury.
What Damages Can I Claim in my Ski or Snowboard Accident Case?
Skiing and snowboarding accidents can result in serious fractures, head injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, and even spinal cord damage. A successful claim can bring victims compensation for damages such as the following:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income and future wage loss
- Lowered earning capacity for injury-related disability
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life for grave or life-altering injuries
No one should go it alone against liability insurance companies that protect their profits over paying out on valid injury claims.
