NEW: 70 year old man files a $35 million claim against the city of San Diego, California after he tripped on a damaged sidewalk.
The man reportedly was knocked unconscious from the fall, breaking his back and neck.
Attorney William Berman says his client tripped on the metal base of a parking meter that had been removed.
“They protrude about an inch to two inches from the sidewalk. The city needs to make sure they’re taking out these bases from the sidewalks,” he said.
