Government entities and municipalities with state employees must ensure safe public spaces. Uneven sidewalks or walkways can lead to costly legal battles. Leaving such potential hazards in disrepair invites unwanted legal action.  

As a landlord, your primary duty is to provide a safe living or working space for your tenants. Trip hazards such as uneven concrete—whether it’s a cracked sidewalk, sunken driveway, or crooked walkway—poses a significant risk. Tripping hazards can lead to injuries, and nobody wants their property associated with accidents.

Imagine a tenant or visitor tripping over a raised edge of concrete on your property. Not only does this cause harm, but it also opens the door to potential legal action. Lawsuits related to injuries caused by unsafe premises can be costly and time-consuming. By proactively fixing trip hazards, you reduce the likelihood of such legal battles.

Even homeowners with just one section of lifting concrete (e.g., sidewalks) can face legal consequences if someone trips and gets injured.

Unsightly lifting concrete also detracts from the overall value of the property.  Contientously repairing these types of hazards shows your community you care about their safety.  The last thing you want as a homeowner is to find yourself with a costly lawsuit that may or may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance plan.
