Dangerous Public Property

Claims Involving Unsafe Government Property Conditions

Dangerous public property cases involve injuries caused by unsafe conditions on streets, sidewalks, intersections, public buildings, or other government-controlled property. These claims often turn on whether a hazardous condition created a foreseeable risk and whether a public entity had notice and failed to correct it or warn the public. Hiring an attorney is critical because claims against public entities can involve strict procedural requirements and short deadlines. An attorney also obtains maintenance records, prior complaints, and design documents that are often necessary to prove responsibility.

Examples of dangerous public property cases we handle:

• Sidewalk defects and broken curb ramps
• Hazardous intersection design or signal issues
• Missing guardrails or unsafe roadway edges
• Poor lighting and unsafe stairways in public facilities
• Potholes, drainage hazards, and uneven pavement
• Inadequate warnings around known hazards

Compensation that may be available:

• Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
• Physical therapy and future care needs
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Disability-related damages
• Out-of-pocket costs related to the injury
