While this seems improbable, it can happen because of the person's expectations says Arkady Frekhtman, one of the trip & fall accident attorneys at the F&A injury law firm in New York City. When using a sidewalk, it's natural to assume that it's a perfectly safe activity. Walking on sidewalks is not an extreme sport and shouldn't require the same intense focus of spotting fall hazards. It's a reasonable expectation that it's safe to...

While this latter procedure frequently provides some short-term relief for a few weeks or longer for many patients, its...
