Potential new client. Lives in a condo where there is a huge problem of people leaving bulk trash items along the road/sidewalk for weeks and months and the city and condo management company does not clean them up for a long time. Client was sick of looking at this and thought it was a danger to her and her neighbors so (after weeks of complaining) she goes to pick some of it up and trips over the cord of an old fan, badly injuring herself. Do I have a case?

It may be worth a shot, if you have good venue and the injuries are there. I have seen recovery for all kinds of questionable manners.

Thank you! I think I’ll go for it. As long as I can avoid summary judgment they’ll have to settle or face the possibility of a trial.

I believe so. Is there documentation regarding her attempts to have the other parties clean up?

Is it on the condo property? Common area? Was she an invitee at that moment? Does the condo/management company have any way to force the city to pick up the trash? And if they don’t, are they allowed to act themselves? Is there a separate HOA hired management company? You could figure out a lot of this presuit likely.
