[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I slipped on an icy sidewalk outside someone's house (isolated black ice on an otherwise cleared ground), fell and broke my arm, was disabled for 8 weeks, could not work and was no covered by STD. Turns out that the property owner is responsible for the sidewalk where I was. I'm not the litigious type, but do I actually have a case? Would you sue for this?[/quote]

You ABSOLUTELY do (as long as they have insurance).

When I was younger, we lived in a townhouse development and something similar happened to my neighbor but she broke her ankle.
She was paid over $15 million for pain and suffering, lost wages & future pain and suffering.

I know that my HOA was probably liable because we were playing outside on the ice (it had been hailing) for at least two hours, l maybe more before my neighbor fell, and the HOA is supposed to get someone outside to salt the sidewalks AS SOON as they learned that it was hailing ice -- but someone didn't start salting until at least 2 hours after the sidewalk became slippery.

Good luck, OP![/quote]

You know this person knows they are talking about because they used all caps.
