Case evaluation
Injuries involving a road or sidewalk may require identifying who owned, controlled, or maintained the location. When a public entity is involved, special claim procedures and shorter deadlines may apply. MOJO LAW can review the circumstances and help identify the questions that need attention.
What we look at
- The precise location and property involved
- Photographs showing the condition and surrounding area
- Possible public-entity claim procedures
- Available witness, incident, and injury records
What to keep for your consultation
You do not need a perfect file to reach out. If you have these records, preserve them in their original form and bring copies when requested.
- Street address, cross streets, and a location pin
- Photos showing both the hazard and the wider area
- The incident date and any prior reports you know about
- Witness contacts, medical records, and damaged items
How MOJO LAW can help
We begin by listening to your account and reviewing the information available. If the firm accepts representation, the work may include investigating the incident, gathering records, communicating with insurers or other parties, and evaluating available options. Every case depends on its own facts, coverage, and applicable law.
Seek appropriate medical care for health concerns. Ask about legal deadlines promptly rather than waiting until treatment is complete or an insurer finishes its review.
Questions about dangerous roads & sidewalks
Is a city always responsible for a sidewalk?
Responsibility cannot be assumed from the location alone. Ownership, maintenance duties, and the specific facts need to be evaluated.
Can I wait until I finish medical treatment?
Do not wait to ask about deadlines. Claims involving public entities can require an administrative claim much earlier than an ordinary lawsuit deadline.
