Injury compensation law can apply to falling on a sidewalk if one can show negligence, where say utility workers didn't mark a work area carefully, or didn't cover up or cordone off broken areas. Or for example if a city received many complaints about a broken sidewalk and didn't repair despite knowing it was dangerous.
