Falls on City Property


Have you fallen and gotten injured on a city sidewalk or road? Was your fall due to neglected sidewalk damage? Ice or snow? Irresponsible city contractors? If so, you may qualify for a sidewalk, slip and fall, or municipal lawsuit. Read more to see if you qualify for a case.

Damaged Sidewalks

Injuries caused by accidents due to cracks or potholes in the sidewalk are quite common. There are differences between different types of damage in sidewalks. Each city has their own set of rules on how much a sidewalk must be damaged before it requires repair. Look up your city roads & highways ordinance to find out the specific laws for sidewalk maintenence.

Act now! It is essential that you inquire about your case as soon as possible. Litigation may be the only way to receive the damages to which you may be entitled, such as medical and health care bills, lost or diminished wages, and financial compensation to family in the case of death. Your individual state's law may limit your time to bring a legal claim to protect your rights. You need to have your municipal accident claim evaluated immediately!
