Trip or slip-and-fall sidewalk accidents can happen for a host of reasons, but they are often a result of property owners failing to ensure their sidewalks are safe for pedestrians. Some common causes of sidewalk accidents are as follows:
As long as we can prove that you were hurt in a trip or slip and fall due to no fault of your own (and as a result of unsafe property conditions) you should qualify for compensation in a personal injury claim.
In most cases, the city is responsible for sidewalk maintenance here in the state of Kentucky. This means that if the city fails to ensure the sidewalk is safe for public use and you’re injured in an accident as a result, you will likely file a notice of claim with the city in which you were injured.
In the state of Kentucky, accident victims are required to file their personal injury claims within one year of the date their accident occurred. Waiting longer than one year can permanently revoke your right to sue.
