Plenty of people slip and fall on sidewalks and wonder who is liable. However, the answer is often unclear. In many instances, it is the property owner’s job to maintain everything on their land. However, the city must also do its job in terms of general upkeep. So, for instance, if your slip and fall results from a crack in the sidewalk that the city is supposed to fix, it may be the city’s fault. On the other hand, if you slip and fall due to debris left on your property, it may be the property owner’s fault.
