Reply to comment by Jlaybythebay in [Inquirer] Philadelphia collected $21 million in fees to improve pedestrian safety. Sidewalks are still treacherous. by Hoyarugby

No shit. I can make my sidewalk fine but my neighbors don't bother and have literal holes in their crumbling ones that the city does nothing to make them fix.

Anything I got would be eaten by the medical costs. So not only would I be in more pain, I'd have to deal with insurance and have neighbors who hate me.

That’s what an attorney is for.

I'm speaking from experience. My mum got into a major car accident 10 years ago, she got $600 after the medical bills were settled because Medicaid / Medicare did not cover her health care due to the lawsuit. And on top of that I had to fight with Medicare for the next 3 years to cover problems related to that accident that popped up.
