The Law Firm With Experience In Wheelchair Pothole Accident Injury Lawsuits

California is known for being a progressive and proactive state when it comes to ensuring the freedom and mobility of those who use a wheelchair or other device to increase their mobility. Ramps at street corners, safety handrails, wider entry doors and walkways, and wheelchair-accessible restrooms are all found throughout the state to ensure this segment of the population enjoys the ability to live an active and independent life in the many communities of California. But sadly, there is one common hazard that detracts from the ability of these residents and guests to enjoy all the state has to offer. Potholes in sidewalks and streets present a significant safety hazard for wheelchair users as well as those riding a bike or motorcycle, using a walker or crutches, as well as all other pedestrians.

Who To Hold Accountable For Your Wheelchair Pothole Accident Injuries
One of the first challenges many wheelchair pothole accident injury victims face is determining who is responsible for the pothole and the harm it causes. In some cases, it is easy to know or learn who owns the private property where your injury incident occurred. However, when you think about an injury caused by a pothole, you rarely consider it happening on a residential or private property. Instead, you visualize more public spaces and realize that the property owner could be a business or government entity if your wheelchair pothole injury incident occurred in:

• A city park
• The parking lot of a town office, city hall, or municipal library
• A state-owned and operated school or college
• A city street
• Parking spaces along the side of a public street
• An office complex
• An apartment or condo property
• A recreation facility
• A public walking path or trail

Typically, the responsibility for pothole maintenance and care falls to the owner of a property, regardless of whom that might be, such as the city or an individual. However, there are other possible responsible parties, which could include:

• A contractor was hired to repair the potholes
• The management company overseeing the property
• A maintenance company was hired to provide routine care for the property
• A contractor or person who damaged the paved surface and was obligated to repair the damage or pothole they caused

While this all sounds complicated, please do not get discouraged by the large number of possible responsible parties. The experts at Kenmore Law Group have decades of expertise in determining whom to hold accountable for the wheelchair pothole injury incident that harmed our clients. We will sort through all the details and determine who owes you compensation for the harm and losses you suffered because of your encounter with a pothole while using your wheelchair to navigate the community.

What Duty Of Care Means For Personal Injury Victims
Most of the general public understands that premises liability laws are in place to protect guests of all public and private properties. These guidelines dictate the building standards and care that must be provided by property owners and their staff to ensure the safety of guests. Duty of care defines the level of care and time frame from that care when a safety issue is discovered on a property or reported to the owner by a guest.

It states that the staff or owner must provide at least the same level of action as would be provided by the average prudent person in a similar situation. For example, if you find a pothole in the sidewalk at your home, you would immediately repair it or block off the area to ensure no one suffers an injury until the damage can be repaired. The average person would do this, and it is likely considered common sense. It is also the care demanded under duty of care.

If the staff fail to take the appropriate action swiftly after discovering a hazardous pothole on the property, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to a wheelchair pothole injury, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim because of their injuries. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today if you feel that your wheelchair pothole injury incident involved negligence and entitles you to compensation for the harm and expenses you sustained.

What Is The Average Value Of A Wheelchair Pothole Accident Injury Lawsuit?
All personal injury victims must understand that each lawsuit compensation amount is independently determined based on the actual losses and expenses sustained by the victim. There are no predetermined amounts awarded for certain injuries or kinds of accidents. Working closely with your Kenmore Law Group wheelchair pothole accident lawyers, you will compile all the documentation to support your allowable expenses. The items typically used in this process include but are not strictly limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident, such as damage to your wheelchair or technology like a phone or smartwatch
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your wheelchair pothole injury lawsuit
• Any lost income if the injuries you suffer prevent you from returning to work until you are fully recovered or if you miss work to attend essential medical treatment related to the wheelchair pothole injury incident
• All current and future estimated medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries sustained in the wheelchair pothole accident

How Long Do I Have To File My Wheelchair Pothole Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is typically two years from the date of the injuries. If the case is not filed by the time the two years have passed, the victim loses the right to seek justice and compensation for the losses due to that incident. In addition, it is essential you understand that there are very limited exceptions that would provide you additional time to file your personal injury lawsuit once the Statute of Limitations has expired.

Victims of wheelchair pothole injury incidents should also know that in cases where the property owner or responsible party is a government entity or agency, the time limit to file a claim with the court drops to only six months. So, if you were hurt on a city street, at a municipal building parking lot, or at a state or federal government-owned facility, you have much less time to make your choice to seek compensation and file your case with the court. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the time needed to prepare and file your lawsuit.
