Exposed Manhole Injury Accident Lawsuit

People are out and about after being stuck inside during the pandemic. Many individuals need to walk around on city streets now to get to work, run errands, go to restaurants and enjoy entertaining activities in the public arena. If there are exposed or uneven manhole covers, then there will be people who will trip and fall over these areas in the ground and in the streets where pedestrians cross to the other side.

Manhole Covers Protect the Pedestrians from Street Level Sewer Systems

A manhole cover is a protection from the underground sewer system that manages and moves raw sewage in a major city. Manhole covers are supposed to lie flat to the ground, not be slippery or covered in a slippery substance, and should not be a hazard to the people who have to walk in and around these areas. But a manhole cover can be none of these factors, and can be covered in slime, set back into place unevenly exposing an uneven surface, or can be chipped and provide a tripping and falling hazard for any pedestrian unlucky enough to walk over it.

Manhole Covers Are Hazardous Materials on Their Own

A manhole cover is part of the underground sewage system in a major city. It is there to provide exterior access to the sewer below for the city workers who are tasked with going underground to work in the lower-level sewer areas.

Water from flooding, debris, trash and other materials may gather around a manhole cover after a storm. These materials need to be removed quickly by the personnel at the city, who are responsible for maintaining the manhole covers and sewer systems. If this is not done, then the manhole will be a hazard for any pedestrians or cars on the roads.

There are hazardous materials and gases that can bubble up from a manhole cover. If this does happen, it can raise the manhole cover up off the ground. If the manhole cover is on sideways, it may produce a tripping and falling hazard for anyone walking around in that area. When this is the case, you are going to have a tripping accident.
