Your lawyer for ski and alpine accidents
Ski and alpine accidents are complex and emotional. One lawyer you know, from the first question to the courtroom. Strong practical background (former ski instructor, mountain rescuer and dog handler).
In larger cases, the work is handled as a team (lawyer, trainee lawyer, legal assistant). Court hearings and negotiations always remain a matter for the lead lawyer.

After a ski accident the decisive issue is often not only the legal rule, but the evidence from day one. Patrol report, photos, witnesses and medical findings must fit together.
The ski patrol report does not replace legal review. It can record where the accident happened, which injuries were visible and who gave information on site.

All paths at a glance
Overview of all answers.
Structure own evidence
Photos and witnesses help, but do not replace a neutral accident report. We secure the chain of evidence.
Secure evidence now
If nothing is documented yet, speed matters. We prepare an evidence list and request records.
What the accident report really proves
What the accident report really proves
The report records perceptions at the accident site. It does not automatically prove who is legally liable.
Relevant are time, exact location, piste condition, names of involved persons and first statements on the sequence. Later deviations need explanation.
Which additional documents you should secure
Which additional documents you should secure
Photos of the accident site, ski tracks, markings and visibility help later reconstruction. Medical findings secure the link between accident and injury.
In a collision, witness contact details are especially important. Without witnesses, a plausible claim can quickly become an evidence problem.
Practice: Request the accident report promptly and do not edit original photos. Screenshots help, but the original file with time data is better.
