This form is a sample complaint for use in a personal injury case in which the plaintiff tripped and fell due to a crack in the steps leading from the defendant's building.
After you file, the city will investigate your complaint. They should look into the issue and take actions to fix the problem if it's deemed unsafe. Hang in there; it takes time!
It depends on the circumstances! If the property owner was negligent and the steps were unsafe, they might be held responsible. But if you were being reckless, the tables could turn.
You're going to want to gather a few things: photos of the steps, medical records if you were hurt, and any witness accounts. The more evidence, the stronger your case.
Reach out to the Mesa city departments or the building inspector's office. They'll be the ones to take it from there and ensure the issue gets addressed.
You’ll want to act fast! Generally, it's best to file as soon as possible, usually within a couple of years. The sooner, the better for your case.
Absolutely! If the steps were in poor condition, you can file a complaint to report the issue. Make sure to gather evidence like photos and witness statements to support your claim.
If you find yourself in a tumble, first check for injuries. If you feel pain or have trouble moving, get medical help right away. After that, consider gathering information like photos of the steps and witness details.
