1 Answer

Answer :

answer:One can get sued for just about anything. In a civil case, though, one of the decisions that is made is how “fault” is assigned. When suits are filed, everyone who has any involvement with the situation gets sued, from the city to the homeowner to the people who planted doth tree to the sidewalk installer. A city that has taken steps to mark a hazard is overwhelmingly accepting fault by not repairing it. The rose bushes may be assigned fault, too, but it may be outweighed by the negligence of the pedestrian.
