My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: California
Apparently, someone slipped and fell on the sidewalk almost two years ago...the sidewalk is in front of our business ... if it's the same incident we recall {have not received the entire complaint yet}...a woman came into our business with a bloody finger, saying she fell outside and 'the owner' should do something about the sidewalk ... she left, came back many hours later ... and ordered one beer ... we noticed she had her finger bandaged at that time
Well, she has now sued the City of Los Angeles...who, in turn...has sued us as a cross-defendant
WTH? Can we be liable for alleged injury on city property?
By the way, this isn't just any old sidewalk...it is along the lines of the Hollywood Walk of Fame {although it's not that walkway} ... and not too long after the incident, the city took out the trees and replaced the sidewalk in the entire area ... not just in front of our place
