If you have fallen on a public sidewalk, you may be able to sue, although it may be difficult. Maintaining public sidewalks is a normal function of a city. Your attorney will need to know: where you fell, the nature of the defect in the sidewalk, and the exact date and time of your fall. It is unrealistic to expect cities to correct every damaged sidewalk or street, and should be taken to court on a case by case basis.
