A municipality, city, village, or even the state can be held responsible for a trip and fall if it can be shown that they were responsible for the particular condition that led to the accident. For example, if there’s a crack in the sidewalk or a hole in an area for which the municipality is responsible, they can be held liable for the accident. It’s important to note that when a municipality is involved in an accident, there are much shorter deadlines to file a claim—sometimes as short as 90 days after the incident. This is why it’s crucial to reach out to a lawyer who knows these deadlines and can ensure they are met, so your opportunity to pursue your claim is not lost.
