Choosing Your Denver Defective Sidewalk Lawyer

Despite being a city with a robust hiking and walking culture, Denver has a large amount of sidewalks in surprisingly poor condition. It’s not uncommon to see large stretches of land with sidewalks that are cracked, poorly maintained, and even nonexistent.

When a pedestrian walks on a Denver sidewalk and trips or gets injured, it may be difficult to find someone to pursue for damages. Ultimately, the property owner has a legal responsibility to maintain everything on his or her land. To be liable for your injury, you would have to prove that the owner caused the crack, spill, or whatever made you fall in some way. The owner is also considered legally at fault if he or she knew about the defective sidewalk but chose to do nothing about it. If an owner notices that something is faulty and neglects to fix it, it is their fault if you fall.

If you or someone you love has been injured due to a faulty sidewalk, get in touch with Jordan, Herington, & Rowley. Our Denver defective sidewalk lawyer will get you started with a free consultation at (303) 465-8733

Frequently Asked Defective Sidewalk Questions

What is the Other Main Way a Property Owner Is Liable?

The other main way a property owner is liable is if he or she should have noticed the crack or spill. Even if this points to them simply being unaware of the situation, they may be at fault, because they should be keeping track of the safety state of their sidewalk.

When it comes down to it, negligence and lack of observation are the most common ways someone can be liable. This can make it a difficult decision for the court. Deciding what someone should have noticed is a more subjective decision than ones made in many other cases. It usually ends up being based on what is considered common sense.

What Are the Factors to Consider in a Defective Sidewalk Lawsuit?

When a judge is trying to decide how reasonable it is that the owner left the sidewalk in a poor state, there are a lot of factors to consider. For example, how long had the sidewalk been that way? If it had been that way for a long time, it would point to the property owner as being more at fault. If the sidewalk had been that way for only a short time, the judge would be less likely to side with the plaintiff.

Deciding exactly how much fault is on each party is another complicated task for the judge. If you were not paying attention and could have prevented the injury if you had been watching where you were walking, that could be a large factor in how much fault is placed onto the property owner. Questions like this one help narrow down exactly how much the property owner might owe you in fees.

What About Defective Sidewalks on Public Property?

Defective sidewalks that are on public property provide for an even more difficult case. It can vary intensely between areas. Some locations may mandate that the nearest landowner is the one in charge of maintaining it, whereas in other places the city could be the only one responsible. If the city is responsible, the addition of government logistics and legalities further complicates the case.

How To Find A Defective Sidewalk Accident Lawyer?

In short, the best way to find a personal injury lawyer is to start with a list of attorneys in your area. You can create a list by going to Google, Avvo.com or calling your local bar organization. From there, research the attorneys. Use their website, look at their Google reviews, etc. Narrow down your list to the top three attorneys. Schedule free consultations with each and interview them.

Completely impressed with how, all of them were there to help me through this horrible time in my life.

This car accident was terrible and without you guys, and your help I am not sure where I would be. Thank you all so much. Janele

Maria R.

Personal Injury

They were amazing to work with since day 1. My previous lawyer had too many cases and referred me to them and they immediately told me what I need to do and what to expect. I was not in the dark. They also kept me updated throughout the whole process when there were updates and even when there were no big updates. They even advocated for me and negotiated to get me more money. They were great. Ashley Reisman was such a pleasure to work with and talk to specifically too 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Brad P.

Personal Injury

Not very often do you find a personal injury attorney that is both excellent in the courtroom AND empathetic towards their client’s needs. Jason Jordan is not only the perfect combination of the two, he goes above and beyond to make sure each and every one of his clients feels heard and understood throughout all phases of the personal injury case.
