City to pay $2.5M over fatal Salt Lake sidewalk fall
Brad Kimura was paralyzed tripping on a 3-inch Salt Lake sidewalk crack and died nine months later. His family settled with the city as records showed the crack went unrepaired for over a year. The family of Brad Kimura, a 53-year-old man who died after tripping on a cracked sidewalk in Salt Lake, has settled a lawsuit with the city for $2.5 million. The accident also exposed cracks in the city's sidewalk maintenance program. Kimura tripped on a crack that was 3 inches high and was immediately quadriplegic, unable to breathe deeply enough to clear his lungs. He died nine months later of pneumonia. The crack that caused Kimura's fall was still unrepaired months after the accident and went unrepaid for more than a year. The city has policies and procedures for sidewalk maintenance, which state that cracks that trip someone are the highest priority and should be repaired within 30 days.
