After years of deliberation, the City of Los Angeles announced that they would agree to a 1.4 billion dollar settlement that will be put towards fixing the city’s notoriously damaged sidewalks. This is meant to settle a class-action lawsuit that was filed according to the Americans with Disabilities Act, after it was claimed that not only were injuries caused due to tripping and slip-and-fall, but overall access is not up to standard for anyone needing to get around with “wheelchairs, scooters, and other assistive devices."This lawsuit is an important reminder of keeping premises, both public and private, up to expected safety and accessibility standards. Premises liability lawsuits can easily arise if property owners are reckless about safety conditions, and they can result in serious injuries. While this case will hopefully prevent many future injuries, the right to keep areas safe is a never ending battle. But, if you need a LA accident lawyer to fight for you when you’ve been injured, there is no better choice than Cameron Yadidi Brock and the Law Offices of Burg & Brock.
