Ski & Snowboard Accidents: Your Legal Ally in Tough Times
When it comes to all things exhilarating, skiing and snowboarding top the list for most adventure enthusiasts. However, the thrill of speeding down snow-covered slopes can sometimes take an unexpected turn. Every year, close to 600,000 skiers and snowboarders face unfortunate accidents, resulting in anything from minor injuries to severe cases like broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries.
If you or someone close to you has experienced a ski or snowboard accident, it’s crucial to know that you aren’t alone.
We at Eaton Injury Law provide comprehensive legal assistance in all forms of ski and snowboarding accidents, from jet ski accidents to critical snowboarding accidents. Our personal injury lawyers are dedicated to helping victims navigate the complex folds of Utah law.
Understanding Your Legal Rights
Utah law has some restrictions on holding ski resorts liable for injuries, but it doesn’t entirely bar legal action. This is where we step in. Our experienced personal injury attorneys review your case in detail, helping you understand the possibilities of recovering compensation through a lawsuit.
Experiencing a skiing or snowboarding accident can take a heavy toll on your life—physically, emotionally, and financially. We believe that if negligence has played a role in your accident, you shouldn’t bear these hardships alone.
How We Can Help
Our expertise as personal injury attorneys allows us to guide you through the aftermath of your accident. If your situation qualifies for a personal injury claim, we work closely with you to recover compensation for:
- Cost of medical treatment, including surgery, therapy, and medications
- Lost earnings due to missed work and potential impact on future earnings
- Loss of quality of life and companionship with spouse or partner
- Pain, suffering, and other non-economic damages
‘Inherent Risks’ and Your Recovery Options
Utah’s Inherent Risks of Skiing Act implements a legal presumption that downhill skiers and snowboarders know the potential risks they face. These ‘inherent risks’ include weather conditions, snow or ice conditions, and collision with stationary objects or other skiers, among other factors.
Ski resorts are required to warn about these risks. However, they are typically not held liable for injuries caused by these factors.
On the flip side, ski operators are also required to take reasonable precautions to protect guests from man-made hazards or hazards that can be easily removed. Therefore, if your ski accident or snowboarding accident was a result of factors such as:
- Unsafe or malfunctioning ski lifts
- Mistakes or negligence by ski lift operators
- Defective ski equipment
- Lack of warning for known dangers
- Lack of markers denoting ski area boundary
- Substandard slope maintenance
Your case could qualify for legal action.

In many cases, the root cause of an accident goes deeper than surface factors. At Eaton Injury Law, we undertake a comprehensive investigation to uncover the underlying causes of your injury. If your skiing or snowboarding accident could have been prevented, you might be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.
