INJURIES ON CITY &
COUNTY PROPERTY

If you suffered a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall on city or county property, you could be eligible for compensation. In order for there to be a claim, you must prove that you used reasonable caution while walking in a certain area, while the owner, tenant, or city/county official failed to maintain a safe and secure premises.

​

Many law firms do not take cases involving accidents and injuries caused by the negligence of a city or county government. These are complex cases that require a lawyer who is as familiar with governmental immunity issues. That is where our dedicated and experienced legal team comes in. Attorney Todd J. Stearn often receives referrals from other attorneys for cases that involve local municipalities. He understands governmental immunity laws and has had success with these types of cases.
