The Honolulu Star reports that the city of Waikiki, Hawaii is appealing a $3.6 million judgment awarded to a woman who broke her foot on an uneven sidewalk. The incident occurred in 2002, when the 49-year-old California woman tripped as she sought to avoid a bicyclist careening down the sidewalk. Her fall fractured a bone above the toe, and she received ligament and nerve damage. According to the Star, she has undergone 12 surgeries. Two more are required. An expert medical witness for Waikiki claimed that the woman's lingering injuries resulted from medical malpractice. However, the jury received instructions that even if malpractice occurred, the city wasn't exempted from its negligence in maintaining the sidewalk.
