Personal injury whilst playing in a park or playground
With the weather as perfect as it is in South Florida, families and kids can be seen daily at the local parks and playgrounds enjoying the sunshine. In many of these cities across Broward and Miami-Dade county are owned by the cities and public agencies. Should you or a loved one be a victim of personal injury at one of these parks you should first contact the city that the park is located to find out that the deadline is for filing claim should you decide to. Many of these cities have short deadlines set for filing claims and they could run from 60 – 90 days within which you may have. After contacting the city and seeking medical attention you should immediately contact an experienced attorney in the city to seek legal counsel and file claim.
Examples of park and playground accidents resulting in personal injury are:
• Broken/poorly maintained park or playground Equipment (swings, “monkey bars” climbing apparatus, slides, gates)
• Falls from heights in parks/playgrounds
• Broken pavement in parks and playgrounds
• Exposed tree roots in parks or playgrounds
Apartment complexes, condominiums, cooperatives and schools also own or maintain parks and playgrounds. Whether the owner or operator of the park or playground where the accident you are inquiring about is a public or private entity, you should contact your personal injury attorney so they can perform a prompt investigation and advise you of your rights.
