Tripping hazards plague many property managers, the reason is frivolous lawsuits from pedestrians who seize the opportunity to sue after tripping on uneven pavement and elevation changes caused by street trees. Tree pits especially are a problem in tight urban environments so one particular Washington DC property management company decided to head off the problem and follow Walt Disney World & the City of Key West’s examples, they paved all the tree pits on their properties with Flexi-pave. One day they were liable to trip-fall lawsuits because of the tree pits, but the next day when the Flexi-pave was cured, the problem was solved once and for all. The management company and property tenants were pleased with the outcome and they continue to find additional areas on their properties where Flexi-Pave can solve their problems.
