    trip and fall cases that were actually the city’s liability

    i didn’t think i’d need to emphasize that but here we are. infrastructure doesn’t get properly maintained until someone gets hurt on it. it’s statesia. If you see a broken curb, take a photo (and let public works know) because if it’s still broken after 6 months all the injuries there are the city’s fault (your state’s laws may vary). i have this curb I’ve been taking photos of and bothering one town over’s public works about for five years now.

      I’m…not sure why you’re chasing down this rabbit hole of who’s liability it would be when we both agree for the context of our conversation that the person NOT liable would be the hypothetical villain that is trying to lure the person into a trap. Who’s liability it would be outside of that villain is immaterial to the discussion.
