I fell down because of a street hazard and was injured who do I contact in that city?

Report Article

The Public Works department. But don't have visions of being reimbursed for any medical expenses or pain and suffering. Government entities enjoy qualified immunity from such claims. This means that unless the city knew of the hazard and had plenty of time to fix it, it's too bad for you.

Try Department of City Works

call the mayors office and tell them bout the hazard. or talk to a lawyer and have him do it

I busted my face wide open, called the police, they didn't want to make a report since I didn't want to go to the hospital, not knowing what damage was done. I got 5 stitches in my face. Called city hall, they never got back to me, called again, they had the street director call me, he said that's not his thing, the public safety director said it wasn't on him. I told him that that's what everyone I've talked to said. He went to look where I fell and told the construction company to fill in the hole I fell into. Then he called me back to let me know. It's still a dangerous area. Anyone can get hurt as bad or worse, but I let it go. And I'm pissed that I'm now going to have a scar on my face!

Friendly Stranger..

You can take this case to court but you need a lawyer who can vouch for you. Doing this by yourself would not help. Get a lawyer, talk things over, and then go through the proper channeling. You also need to be more specific. What kind of street hazard was it? Was it poor lighting? Loose wires? Make sure you can provide key evidence. And to answer your question you can contact city officials and let them know. File a complaint along with getting a lawyer.
