Thanks.

I'd like to see you telling that to a personal injury lawyer.

The judge is the one you have to make this particular argument to. In
Indiana (anyway) the judge or jury can apportion degree of negligence.
If they had a usable path and did not take, they would certainly have
some degree of culpability.,


Yeah, you tell it to the judge, but the lawyer is the one that will rip
you apart. A narrow path on a wide sidewalk won't get you many points.
