who do I sue if my foot fell in a water meter on a customers property. I was cleaning her car for her and when i left my foot fell in the water meter. Whose Liable? Is it the Citys Property or the ladies property. The water meter is place at the edge of the road.
A: This is most likely something your worker’s compensation insurance will cover as you were providing services for a customer in the course and scope of your employment.
A: You may be able to sue both the city and the property owner. Retain counsel to represent you in your jurisdiction.
A: More information would be helpful, in terms of the exact location, whether this was in the course of employment, and other factors. Many attorneys who handle such matters offer free initial consults. Good luck
