One of the most common areas of litigation right now is dangerous conditions relating to sidewalks and what the government’s responsibility is as it relates to sidewalks. The government is absolutely responsible for maintaining their sidewalks as the rest of its property in a reasonably safe condition.
I have a case right now in the city and county of San Francisco where the city and county knew for four years of the exact location where our client tripped, where her foot was caught on a crack. She was watching traffic. This is a crack at the approach to a crosswalk. She was watching traffic to make sure she didn’t get hit by a car, which is what you should do in San Francisco as well as everywhere else, and she fell,l and she was lucky that she didn’t fall into the roadway. The city had seen seven prior injuries at this location and just never managed to pay attention to fixing this particular problem.
