INJURED ON A DANGEROUS SIDEWALK OR CROSSWALK IN CONNECTICUT?

Cities and Towns Are Denying Responsibility — Even When You're Seriously Hurt

Cracked sidewalks. Raised slabs. Faded crosswalks. Tree roots tearing through concrete. You didn't expect to be injured while walking in your own neighborhood — but now you're facing medical bills, missed work, and a long recovery.

Worse? The town won't take responsibility.

At my firm,  we help injured pedestrians in Stratford, Bridgeport, and across Connecticut fight back when municipalities try to dodge fair compensation.

🚷 Common Sidewalk & Crosswalk Hazards We See:
• Uneven or broken sidewalk slabs
• Tree root damage or potholes
• Poor drainage causing icy surfaces
• Inadequate lighting near walkways
• Faded or missing crosswalk paint
• Crosswalks in high-traffic areas with no warning signs

These defects can lead to serious injuries, including:
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones
• Spinal injuries
• Knee and shoulder tears requiring surgery
• Permanent loss of mobility

🛑 Why Are Cities Refusing to Pay?

Municipalities often deny claims by saying:
• The defect was “open and obvious”
• They had “no prior notice” of the hazard
• The pedestrian wasn't paying attention

But the truth is: public property must be maintained. If a city knew — or should have known — about a defect and failed to fix it, they can be held accountable.

⚖️ How We Help

We know how to fight city hall — and win. Our firm works with experts to:
• Investigate and document the dangerous condition
• Determine how long the defect existed
• Prove the municipality had actual or constructive notice
• Push for full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering

⏰ Time Is Limited – File Your Claim Quickly

Claims against cities and towns in Connecticut have strict notice requirements — often just 90 days from the date of the injury.

Don't wait. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.
