Yet Another Dangerous Atlanta Street

I have written about similar dangerous conditions in the City of Atlanta, but it bears repeating because these instances of City neglect are too dangerous to ignore. Atlanta residents out for a stroll are in danger. So too are small children playing in the area, bicyclists, joggers and pets. If you go to the corner of North Highland Avenue and Cumberland Road, you will find the sharp jagged edge of what used to be a speed limit sign sticking up from the ground into the air. Just a few blocks away, at the corner of Stillwood and Rosedale, a City of Atlanta storm drain lies uncovered.

While the general rule is that the City is not responsible for simple negligence if someone gets hurt, there are many legal claims that allow those injured by these (and other similar dangerous conditions on City of Atlanta roads and property) to recover from the City for their injuries. Please be careful out there. Hopefully, you will not need the advise of an experienced Atlanta injury lawyer, but if you are injured, please take the time to hire the right lawyer.
