    Quoted from o-din:

    Smart people hurt themselves on government owned property.

    Then you get nothing...governmental immunity. Unless you can prove negligence on behalf of the municipality. Which is VERY difficult to do.

    In the case above the municipality would have to have been publicly aware of the pothole and fail to repair it in a "reasonable" amount of time. What's a reasonable amount of time...approximately 30 days. Again...you would first have to prove they knew about it.

    I do this for a living and "slip and falls" on governmental property happen daily. Almost no one successfully proves negligence and "governmental immunity" prevails. That's why governmental insurance rates are way lower than private business insurance.

    Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

    While we're killing time, I thought of a hypothetical. Let's say Jill was exhausted from a ten hour day playing pinball and was on the way to her favorite watering hole. It might be close by and she is really looking forward to going there to unwind. Did she trip and become injured after leaving the PAPA event, while walking through a private parking lot as a means to go home or because she was in a hurrying to get to her car so she could drive to her watering hole? One suggests the parking lot was a link in the chain of events for PAPA, the other is a link in the chain of events for traveling on to place#2. Maybe the place she was heading next shares the blame. any premise liability lawyers in da house?

    Do we know the parking lot was completely separate from the venue? PAPA likely signed a "hold harmless" agreement with the venue for the event. Meaning they take on all liability and the venu owners are held harmless.

    If the lot is completely separate from the venue then I would think the lot owner could still be held liable. Or at least would be the ones to go after...not PAPA.
