Uneven Pavement Cases in NYC Can Be Challenging

Cases involving falls on outside pavement are more complicated than they seem. For example, some cities have made building owners (rather than the city) responsible for maintaining sidewalks in front of private buildings. But what if there is a vacant lot? Where does property owner responsibility end? There are many questions raised by this kind of case—questions that must be answered fully. Proner & Proner know just how to find out the answers to important questions like these while seeking the maximum compensation for your injuries.

An injured person may not be able to file a claim against the city, even if the city built the sidewalk, to begin with. Similarly, if your fall occurred on property owned by the city, special rules may apply. If you plan to seek compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages, it is important to speak with an attorney who understands the complexities of filing injury cases in New York City, NY.

Causes of Falls on City Pavement in New York

If the responsible party – whether property owner of the city or not – knew of a problem in the pavement and failed to correct it or warn users of the problem, they could be labeled “negligent.” Common problems with streets and sidewalks include:

Uneven pavement.
Broken concrete, asphalt and other paving materials.
Deep cracks and holes in pavement.
Signs, trees and other hazards that create uneven pavement and walking hazards.
Construction activity that does not include warning signs, fences or other means of restricting access to damaged areas.
Unguarded pipes protruding from the sidewalk.
Manhole covers and utility access plates.
Uncleared ice or snow.
