How Is The City Of Los Angeles Liable For My Personal Injury Incident?
Most people fail to think about all the properties that are owned and maintained by the City of Los Angeles. So, when they consider a personal injury lawsuit, they don’t think about suing the city because they failed to provide the space in a safe and hazard-free manner. This list of city-owned properties is somewhat lengthy and includes:
- City parks
- City sports complexes and recreation centers
- The city municipal complex or offices such as city hall, the police station, and city administrative offices could house the water division or refuse collection departments
- City parking lots or parking garages
- City streets and sidewalks
- The public libraries
- City-owned facilities that house a community theater, youth charitable foundations, or food banks
If you suffered an injury at any of these locations that could have been caused by a city employee’s negligence when maintaining the space, don’t hesitate to contact Kenmore Law Group today. Our staff is available around the clock to assist you in holding the City of Los Angeles accountable for any harm caused due to negligence.
Understanding Duty Of Care
Most of the general public is familiar with the concept of premises liability, even if they do not know the term. Premises liability laws are in place to protect guests of all public and private properties. They define the legal obligation of the property owner and their staff about public safety. Duty of care defines the level of action that the staff must take to eliminate safety hazards when one is discovered on the property or reported by a guest.
Duty of care states that the staff must act in a manner that is at least equal to the steps that would be taken by the average prudent person when facing the same issue. For example, if you find a broken safety handrail at your home’s front steps, you would repair it immediately to ensure no one is hurt when entering your home. If you cannot fix the damage, you would place a warning sign to tell people of the hazard, or block off the dangerous area. These are the common sense steps the average person would take when finding such a hazard and what is required under duty of care.
If the staff at a city-owned property fails to correct a safety issue promptly, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to an injury incident, the city can be liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today if you feel that negligence was a factor in the harm you sustained while on a property owned by the City of Los Angeles.
Common Personal Injuries And The Incidents That Cause Them
When you try to envision an accident involving a city employee or their work, you could have trouble thinking of any. You might forget that you do not need to be immediately interacting with a city employee for these incidents to occur. Instead, the results of their past actions could cause:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Injury from a falling object
- Electrical shock or electrical burn
- A pedestrian versus vehicle accident
- A multi-vehicle accident
Sadly, there are many severe injuries that can be the result of these incidents, which include:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Electrical or temperature contact burns
- Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that often involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
- Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
- Facial injuries to the nose, eyes, ears, or mouth
- Dislocated joints or damage to the connective tissue of joints
- Head injuries ranging from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a life-altering traumatic brain injury
It is very upsetting to know that you face a lengthy and painful recovery because of injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. You should not be forced to bear the financial burden as well. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group to discuss the possibility of a personal injury lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles to secure the compensation you are owed for the harm you sustained.
What Is The Value Of A City Of Los Angeles Lawsuit?
As a personal injury victim, your lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles will include the following allowable items that determine the compensation amount for the case:
- All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the injuries
- The replacement cost of any personal property damaged in the injury incident
- All legal fees related to the lawsuit
- Your lost income if the injuries prevent you from working until you are fully recovered
How Long Do I Have To File My Lawsuit?
Because the City of Los Angeles is the responsible party in your case, you have only six months from the date of the injury incident to file your lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, you will lose the right to seek compensation and justice via a City of Los Angeles lawsuit. Please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the facts of your claim and time needed to prepare a lawsuit.
