Arizona Defective Sidewalk and Walkway Attorneys
Sometimes a dangerous condition is obvious and can be avoided. In other circumstances, a walkway or sidewalk might seem safe but prove to be hazardous. We see many people hurt in incidents caused by defective or obstructed walkways or sidewalks. We also see many people injured as a result of poorly lit, damaged, improperly designed, or wet areas in hotels, work arenas, and other private and public places.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a fall or other accident because of property defects, safety violations or other unsafe conditions, we can help you. Contact the Phoenix firm of Bohm & Jones, P.C., for a free consultation with a lawyer.
When Accidents Are Caused by Unsafe Conditions or Code Violations
When builders develop a property, they strive to make it look appealing and functional, but in the process they may neglect important safety standards or building codes. When this happens, people can get seriously hurt. Examples of walkway design and construction problems include walkways with unusual obstructions or ones that get excessively slippery when wet. Other falls occur when walkways are not properly lit or maintained. Sidewalk deviations can develop when the walkway is improperly backfilled or when vegetation is planted too closely to the walkway and growing roots raise or crack the concrete. Landscaping can be improperly maintained, creating hidden holes in lawns that appear smooth as the grass grows. Regardless of how a walkway became dangerous, the experienced lawyers at Bohm & Jones, P.C., can help.
Protecting Your Rights
Injuries occurring on sidewalks that are maintained by a municipality like a city or town require immediate action. If a claim is to be made against a municipality, Arizona law requires the injured party to give the municipality notice of the claim within 180 days of the injury or the claim will be forever barred. If your loved one or you have been injured on a sidewalk or walkway, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can ensure that your rights are protected.
