Concrete repair in Cordova,
Illinois can help you avoid many problems, including legal issues that can
arise from trip and fall accidents on your property. If you have wheelchair
accessible ramps or other types of walkways that lead to your home or place of
business that have large fissures, cracks or sunken portions, someone visiting
your home or office may have an accident that you would become responsible for
financially. Avoiding these problems and legal headaches can be as easy as
having a specialist fix the uneven portions of your walkways or ramps to ensure
the safety of your guests or customers. Here are a few problems that can be
avoided by calling out a service provider…read on!
Lawsuits
Anyone injured at your
home or place of business has the right to sue you for their injury. In the
case of damaged walkways and/or service ramps, it is legally the responsibility
of the owner of the property to reasonably ensure the safety of guests or
customers that are visiting the property. Since large cracks or sunken slabs
are not an overnight occurrence, a property owner will most likely be viewed as
being negligent in providing safe areas for people to traverse. Concrete repair
services can be employed to fix damaged walkways, even before they become a
hazard for pedestrians; therefore, the likelihood of winning a legal battle
over responsibility for the accident and the damages that are incurred,
including medical treatments, pain and suffering awards and even reparations
for lost wages. These hefty bills can all become legally your responsibility to
pay along with a possible legal mandate to fix the walkways that caused the
accident. You can avoid the entire problem and months of legal problems by
calling out a specialist to ensure that you have a smooth path for pedestrians.
Insurance Issues
If an accident occurs on
your property due to large cracks or uneven walkways, your insurance company
may become involved, further convoluting the problems that can arise from such
an incident. If your homeowner’s insurance or business insurance has a clause
that covers accidents that occur on your property, the payment for the medical
expenses and other charges that are resultant from the accident may end up
being covered by your insurance company. While this will initially make your
financial problems lesser, it can also cause your premiums to skyrocket,
depending upon the outcome of the case and the facts presented by both the
prosecution and defense teams. This is another problem that having a concrete
repair specialist to assess potential tripping hazards and fix the problem
before it causes any harm can help you avoid.
