Re: Tripping and Falling
If it is a public street or even if it is a private one, you need to consult with an attorney about whether you have a viable claim. The consultation should be free. Without an attorney, a public entity will likely be unwilling to compensate you. Further, you can lose your right to bring a claim if you do not take proper steps within 180 days of your fall.

Based on what you have written, if the street was a public or private roadway, there may be a possibility for a claim. You should seek the assistance of a local law firm to assist you is determining whether the injuries are compensable. Generally, owners of roadways are less than likely to compensate injured parties without representation. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to arrange for a free initial consultation.
