Can i sue the city for a foot injury

In NY and other states there is something the "pot hole" protection. It provides protection against suits for the cities depending on notice of the condition well before your accident. With the winter we've had I suspect that will be difficult to establish, but try consulting a local person injury attorney,

You need to serve a notice of claim on the city within 90 days. Given your injury it may be worth an attorney investigating whether the city had notice of the defective condition.

Depends on when the incident occurred, how long the pothole was there before you fell, whether anyone else complained before your fall, as well as several other factors. You need to file a notice of claim as a prerequisite to suit so don't delay.

You need to locate a local attorney to handle the matter. You will have to file a notice of claim within 90 days of your accident. Do not delay in filing the notice of claim.

Suing the city for this type of injury could be problematic. I concur that you do need to serve a notice of claim within 90 days. Moreover, the city had to have notice of the condition before the claim would be viable. You should consult with a personal injury attorney near you in Albany to determine whether or not there is a claim worth pursuing. The fact that you had surgery increases the odds that an attorney may be interested in the claim. Do you have pictures of the site? If not, I would go back immediately to make sure that you have it documented.
