Crosswalk Trip And Fall Accident Attorney

California is a very pedestrian-friendly state that encourages residents and guests to leave their cars and enjoy walking around the many beautiful cities, towns, and communities. In most areas, you will find large and well-maintained sidewalks as well as marked crosswalks to ensure safety when crossing streets at intersections. However, nothing in this world is perfect, so pedestrians need to be constantly aware of their surroundings and the condition of the roadways and crosswalks they are traversing.

With city and state budgets getting tighter, road repairs and maintaining the quality of the road surface in crosswalks are not getting the care they once did.

Common Crosswalk Trip And Fall Injuries
When you picture walking across the street as you head to work, the market, or out for dinner, you rarely think about looking at the surface of the road to ensure it is free of cracks, defects, or potholes. Sadly, this is the case for most people when they set out on foot. However, once you experience a crosswalk trip and fall injury incident or see someone else suffer this harm, you are certain to be much more focused on the surface of the roadway in any crosswalk you use because of the severe injuries these safety hazards can cause, such as:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Dislocated joints or damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that could involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Damage to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Harm to the delicate skin of the face or to the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth
• Soft tissue injuries, including nerve damage, can result in permanent limitations or loss of mobility
• Skull fractures, concussions, brain bleeds, or other traumatic brain injuries

Even if you feel that the harm you sustained due to a crosswalk trip and fall incident is minor, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure all harm is diagnoses quickly and gets the proper medical care. Fast treatment of your injuries can make a significant difference in the outcome of your treatment and your ability to make a complete recovery in the shortest time possible. Once you have gotten all the necessary medical care, please make time to reach out to Normandie Law Firm to discuss the potential of a crosswalk trip and fall accident injury lawsuit with a skilled personal injury attorney.

What Is The Average Case Value For A Crosswalk Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit?
One of the first questions most injury victims ask when they contact Normandie Law Firm is, what is the average value of a case like mine? However, these clients are unaware of the process used to determine the value of personal injury cases. Once they discover that there are no predetermined values awarded for specific injuries or injury accidents, they see that there really is no average value for any kind of personal injury case. While it is always mathematically possible to determine the average value of a group of lawsuits, it is not going to provide genuinely helpful information about the value of your case.

Instead, the best way to understand the potential value of your crosswalk trip and fall accident injury lawsuit is to schedule a free consultation with a Normandie Law Firm personal injury attorney to help you understand the allowable expenses that you incurred, which will be used to calculate the amount of compensation sought via your lawsuit. The items typically used for this process include but are not strictly limited to:

• All current and projected future medical costs related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of your crosswalk trip and fall injuries
• Your lost income if the injuries sustained prevented you from working at your regular job until you reach a full recovery or if you miss work to attend essential medical care appointments related to the injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the crosswalk trip and fall injury incident
• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating your crosswalk trip and fall injury lawsuit
• In cases involving severe injuries that will require a long time to heal, the victim can seek additional compensation for their pain and suffering

How Long Do I Have To File A Crosswalk Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations defines how long a victim has to file their claim with the court. The time limit to file your crosswalk injury lawsuit is likely to be much shorter than you might expect if the injury occurred on a city street. Any property that is owned by a government entity such as a city, town, state, or the federal government has a Statute of Limitations of only six months. The time begins on the date of the injuries and ends precisely after the six months have passed.

It is also critical for victims to understand that there are few exceptions that would provide additional time to file a lawsuit once the Statute of Limitations has expired. Typically, once the time has passed, there is no way for the victim to secure added time to file a claim. So, it is critical you contact Normandie Law Firm as swiftly as possible to ensure you understand how long it will take to prepare and file your crosswalk trip and fall injury lawsuit with the court.

For victims of a crosswalk trip and fall injury incident that occurred on private property, such as a parking lot or driveway owned by a business, the Statute of Limitations is a full two years from the date of the injuries incident. But like the cases involving a fall in a city crosswalk, the time limit is strictly enforced and there are minimal exceptions that provide added time to file a claim once the Statute of Limitations has expired.
