What if I'm partly at fault for my ski accident?

If you are partly at fault for a ski accident in Utah, you may still be able to recover damages from others who are also at fault. Under the law in Utah, any party that is more than 50 percent at fault for a ski accident is barred from recovering any damages. However, if you are less than 50 percent at fault, you can still recover damages from any other parties that are more at fault. For example, if a ski lift operator negligently pulled you off a ski lift too early, resulting in an injury, you may be able to recover damages even if you were partly responsible (e.g. for not paying attention to the warning signs associated with the ski lift). This is because the ski lift operator is likely more at fault than you. It is important to note, however, that you may still be barred from recovering damages if you were reckless or intentionally negligent. Generally, you will only be able to recover if you were acting responsibly and another party’s negligent actions caused your injuries. If you believe you’re partly at fault for a ski accident in Utah, it’s important to speak to an experienced attorney for help with your case. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and help you determine if you can still recover damages.
