Gary Larrieu, Plaintiff-Appellant: v. Best Buy Stores, L.p.

Summary

The court answered a certified question by holding that Colorado's premises liability statute is not limited, as a matter of law, to activities or circumstances directly or inherently related to the land. Instead, the statute applies when the injury occurs on the landowner's property and results from a condition, activity, or circumstance for which the defendant is liable in its legal capacity as a landowner, requiring a fact-specific inquiry. The court returned the case to the certifying federal court for further proceedings.
