My question involves property law that occurred in the state of: WA
We are sharing a driveway with our next neighbor. The driveway is owned by city. Recently during this winter we found out that water is running into the driveway of the neighbor. When the temperature is low - this water will turn into ice, which could be dangerous. We checked the source where the water is coming from. The water is coming out of city property, beyond our property line. We consult with the city about it and the city stated that it is not their issue. Our question is that: if there is an a slip or fall incident on the neighbor driveway, are we responsible for the safety of the driveway since we are sharing the use of the driveway? I can't see why we should be liable since the driveway is not part of our property, but I'm not familiar with the law.
