A neighbor fell on a sidewalk in front of my home and now they want to take me to court. Can they sue me?
Sidewalks are usually owned by the city and not the property owner. If someone is on your property though and gets injured you can possibly be found liable for their injury. If you let a roofer get on your roof to inspect it and they fall off, they can possibly sue you for their injuries.AnswerThe information provided above does not apply in all jurisdictions. You should discuss that question with your insurance company. In some jurisdictions homeowners and cities share liability and homeowners do indeed have some liability depending on the details. In my jurisdiction the public sidewalk is on my property but the public has rights to pass under an easement of public way. If you were aware of a dangerous defect in the sidewalk (for example a dangerous uplifting due to tree roots causing a pedestrian to trip and fall) and did nothing to address it you may have liability. The injured party could sue you for damages.
