John Fleming represented a local municipality in a case where the injured person tripped and fell on a curved and sloped area of a curb, where the curb met an inclined driveway. The injured person had a fractured ankle and significant medical bills. The trial court judge dismissed the case at the trial court level, based on extensive prior case law supporting that the city has no liability for an injury occurring at this location.
