Sabatini and Associates has been retained by a client who recently suffered serious injuries as a result of a pothole located in a parking lot. Given the recent fluctuations in temperature, potholes are becoming a growing problem. Property owners have a responsibility to inspect their parking lots for potholes and if one is discovered, reasonable measures must be taken to repair the pothole. If inspections are not taking place and a pothole goes un-repaired, then the property owner will be held liable for injuries caused by the defective condition.
