Award-Winning Sidewalk accident Accident Lawyers
Work with proven advocates dedicated to maximizing your settlement or verdict.
Cases we help with
Cracked & Uneven Surfaces
From trip hazards caused by tree roots to sunken concrete slabs, our attorneys handle cases where poor maintenance leads to serious falls and injuries.
Snow & Ice Hazards
Property owners often have a duty to clear walkways. We hold them accountable when their failure to remove snow and ice causes a dangerous slip and fall.
Debris & Obstructions
Injured after tripping over construction materials, fallen branches, or other hazards left on a walkway? Attorneys help prove negligence and fight for you.
Commercial Property Negligence
Accidents in front of stores or office buildings caused by spills, poor lighting, or disrepair require swift action. Our attorneys navigate the complexities of commercial liability.
Potholes & Hidden Dangers
A fall from an unmarked pothole, missing utility cover, or broken curb can cause severe harm. Attorneys may investigate to establish who was responsible for the hazard.
Government & Public Property Claims
Suing a city or municipality for a fall on a public sidewalk involves special rules and short deadlines. Attorneys are experienced in handling these specific claims.
Common types of sidewalk accidents
Cracked or Uneven Pavement
These are the most frequent cause of sidewalk injuries. Over time, ground settling, water damage, or invasive tree roots can cause concrete slabs to lift, sink, or break apart, creating dangerous ledges. A sidewalk accident lawyer can prove the hazard was present long enough that the property owner should have known about and fixed it.
Slip and Falls from Snow and Ice
During winter months, property owners and municipalities have a legal responsibility to keep sidewalks reasonably safe. When they fail to salt, sand, or shovel in a timely manner, treacherous ice can form. A lawyer specializing in snow and ice accidents can demonstrate that the property owner neglected their duty of care, leading to your injuries.
Trips from Obstructions or Debris
Sidewalks must be kept clear of hazards. Accidents are often caused by preventable obstructions like construction debris, discarded equipment, low-hanging branches, or even merchandise displays from an adjacent business. We investigate to identify who was responsible for leaving the hazard and hold them accountable.
Falls in Potholes or Grate Openings
Missing or broken utility covers, drainage grates, and deep potholes create significant and often unexpected dangers for pedestrians. These cases often involve determining whether a private company or a public works department was responsible for maintaining that specific part of the sidewalk.
Accidents from Poor Lighting
A crack or obstacle that might be visible in daylight can become a hidden trap at night if a sidewalk is poorly lit. Property owners, both commercial and private, may be held liable if inadequate lighting on their property contributes to an accident on an adjacent walkway.
Falls from Improper Repairs
A shoddy patch job can be just as dangerous as the original problem. Using the wrong materials, creating a raised patch, or failing to fix the underlying issue can result in a new hazard. A sidewalk injury attorney can use evidence of the faulty repair to build a strong case for negligence.
