What if I fall because of a poorly maintained city sidewalk?
Many slips and trips on public streets are caused by weather conditions – rain, ice, snow – and just as many occur because the city has not done its job. Your city has an obligation to its citizens to keep sidewalks and streets in reasonably good condition. If your fall is caused by a poorly maintained sidewalk or street, then you should take pictures of the site and contact an attorney immediately. The city must be notified about your fall within 120 days.
