A blind woman who was confused by the crumbling and shattered pavement on the drive into a Chubby’s Mexican restaurant on Lowell Street in Littleton has filed a lawsuit against the city, Chubby’s owner and the Colorado School for the Blind. This case stems from pedestrian and auto accident that occurred in December 2013, leaving her with serious injuries.
The Allegations: A Look at this Car Accident Case
Blind Car Accident Victim Sues City of Littleton
According to court papers filed, the blind woman was walking home around 8:30 p.m., when she became disoriented by the shattered pavement in front of Chubby’s restaurant and accidentally mistook the street for the parking lot and walked into oncoming traffic.
She was hit by a motorist, who was traveling an estimate 35 m.p.h.
The woman suffered traumatic brain injury and severe spinal injuries as well.
The lawsuit claims the defendants had reasonable expectation to know about the condition of their parking lot and that it was in disrepair and dangerous for blind pedestrians who use the public transit system and go to the nearby Center for the Blind.
Two of the non-profit defendants have requested for dismissal of the lawsuit. The plaintiff’s attorney is required to respond by April 15th. However, if both requests are denied, then a trial for the case will be set for later this summer.
The Center for the Blind said in its motion for dismissal that it had no legal obligation to protect pedestrians from the dangerous parking lot that it doesn’t own.
Blind persons are common in the City of Littleton because of the location of the Center for the Blind. Another student was killed and two were injured when a driver ran them down in December 2010, when he lost control of his vehicle near a stop sign.

Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst.
If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again! The amount of gratitude I feel for these people simply can't be put into just one small review. Hopefully others that may be facing unfortunate hardships and need the legal help see this and make the call. Just do it!

Michael and Ben possess extensive knowledge of the insurance sector and will not hesitate to inform you if they believe the case lacks merit. Their guidance provided to our shared client during the legal consultation was exceptional. I highly recommend their services.

Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story. These 2 people are really there for you! I would refer them and consider them even only after a couple of visits at first they make you feel so comfortable to talk to. They have certainly have made us a friend of there's for life and don't need to ever! look for attorney else where if I ever need legal advice.
