Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Cleveland. Icy and uncleared sidewalks and parking lots during brutal Cleveland winters, poorly maintained commercial properties throughout Glenville, Hough, and Central, and negligent property management in densely populated residential neighborhoods across Cuyahoga County create dangerous conditions year-round. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, people get hurt. Insurance companies often use delay, denial, and victim-blame tactics to minimize these claims. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From icy stoops and uncleared sidewalks on Superior Avenue and St. Clair in Glenville to poorly maintained commercial properties on Kinsman Road in Mount Pleasant to neglected apartment buildings throughout Hough and Collinwood — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Cleveland and who is responsible for them. MetroHealth Medical Center and University Hospitals treat serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Cleveland families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Cuyahoga County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics — and try to argue the dangerous condition was obvious or that it was your fault. Government property falls may trigger Ohio Revised Code notice requirements. We know how to leverage the justice system in Cuyahoga County courts to fight back.
IMPORTANT OHIO LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury.
Government Property: Falls on City of Cleveland property, RTA facilities, Cuyahoga County facilities, or other government property may require notice under the Ohio Revised Code within a shorter period than the general statute.
Open and Obvious Doctrine: Ohio allows property owners to argue a hazard was open and obvious. Document the condition immediately and note any special circumstances that made the hazard not reasonably avoidable.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault. Recover if 50% or less at fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for property owners may make early low offers and use delay, deny, and lowball tactics. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery — and move immediately on government property cases.
