Mich. Supreme Court Puts an End to Broken Ankle Lawsuit
A man who broke his ankle near the Detroit River won’t be getting any money from the city of Detroit.
The Michigan Supreme Court says it doesn’t need to hear arguments to throw out the lawsuit by George Williams. The case had been dismissed by a Wayne County judge but revived last year by the state appeals court.
The Supreme Court recently said Judge John Gillis got it right.
Williams broke his ankle on a pedestrian path controlled by Detroit, not a highway. The Supreme Court says the city therefore is immune to liability under state law.
