As far as I know, there is no punitive damage anywhere here in
Europe. So even if you stage a big lawsuit because of falling over
on the walkway, you will end up with some compensation for the pain,
but it really is nothing compared to the hassle that you would have
to go through... and it's not that a broken wrist is something that
disables a person indefinitely, so I guess most just don't bother.

If people were expecting to potentially make millions with that kind
of lawsuit, there definitely would be some of them here, too, I am
sure.
