The Colorado Premises Liability Act is the state law, C.R.S. § 13-21-115, that governs when a property owner is legally responsible for injuries that happen on their land. It was passed in 1986 specifically to correlate how much an injured person can recover with their legal status on the property, rather than using the general negligence rules that apply to most other injury claims.
Who counts as a ‘landowner’ under the act
The definition is broader than it sounds, it includes not just the person who owns the property, but anyone in possession of it or legally responsible for its condition, which can mean a tenant, a property manager, or a business operating on leased land.
