City of Miami v. Mulholland

CARROLL, Judge.

The appellee Elizabeth Mulholland was injured when she fell on a sidewalk bordering Biscayne Boulevard in the City of Miami. She and her husband sued the city and recovered a verdict and judgment. The city has appealed. We affirm the judgment.

The evidence adduced was sufficient to support a conclusion by the jury that the sidewalk was defective and that the city was negligent in the maintenance thereof. The city argues it was not responsible for the condition of the sidewalk because it was within a state road right of way. Cf. Leialoha v. City of Jacksonville, Fla. 1953, 64…
