Philadelphia Hazardous Public Property Attorneys
Have You Suffered an Injury on Public Property in Pennsylvania?
If you have been injured on government property — on a city bus or in a state park, for example, or in a car accident caused by dangerous road conditions — special requirements and strict time frames for filing your claim may apply. It is important to know that you still have legal rights.
At Reiff & Bily, our Philadelphia premises liability attorneys have decades of experience pursuing valid, high-stakes premises liability claims, including many against government entities such as the city of Philadelphia, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). You may have no idea who is legally liable for the harm done to you, let alone how to report your accident and put that responsible party "on notice" as legally required. We can help.
Prompt Action Is Essential in a Claim Against a City, County or the Commonwealth
A public property injury case calls for an experienced lawyer from the outset. Our track record and solid reputation in the community can add credibility to your claim, and you can count on us to know how to move forward after:
- Accidents due to someone's negligence on a SEPTA bus, public school bus, or other form of mass transit
- Serious injuries suffered in a car, truck, motorcycle or other vehicle accident on an improperly designed or poorly maintained public roadway
- A serious slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall on dangerous premises in a city, county or state or other public building
- Negligence by public officials and employees — as when medical care is denied during incarceration in jail, resulting in wrongful death or other severe consequences
Fast action after a public property injury may be even more critical than in a case where the responsible party is a private individual. For example, claims against the city must be filed within 90 days, and claims against the commonwealth within six months.
