Sidewalk Injuries

Representing Sidewalk Injury Victims Throughout Oregon

If you’ve suffered an injury due to an uneven or poorly maintained city sidewalk or roadway, you may be entitled to compensation. Many slip-and-fall injuries occur when someone trips on a defective or unsafe city-owned sidewalk. People who stumble and fall on broken or cracked sidewalks often sustain serious injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and hip or back injuries. In some cases, these types of accidents can lead to catastrophic or even fatal injuries, which may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. We encourage you to contact the dedicated personal injury attorneys at Zbinden & Curtis Attorneys At Law to discuss your options for securing the compensation you need to support your recovery.

Determining Liability in Sidewalk Injury Lawsuits

When you file a sidewalk injury lawsuit, you need to determine who owns or maintains the pathway where you or a loved one fell and suffered an injury. The responsible party may be the property owner adjacent to the sidewalk, the city, or the town. Determining liability can be difficult. The municipality may argue about its schedule of maintenance and the costs of defending itself. Communicating with these parties can be frustrating and intimidating, especially while you are coping with a serious injury. If you are involved in a complex sidewalk injury matter, it’s important to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to determine the most strategic path forward.

How an Oregon Sidewalk Injury Attorney Can Help You Obtain a Favorable Outcome

The last thing sidewalk injury victims want to deal with is housing stubborn proprietors or city officials for compensation. These entities will try to pay you as little as possible to save themselves money. Instead of navigating this stressful process alone, you can enlist an experienced Portland personal injury attorney to step in and advocate for your best interests. The dedicated legal team at Zbinden & Curtis Attorneys At Law is prepared to assess the details of your case and help you pursue a successful claim. Our goal is to hold those responsible for your injuries legally and financially responsible for their negligent actions. Give us a call today.
