I don't want to be a jerk about this, but should the taxpayers really be on the hook for this sort of accident? I have problems with this sort of mentality. There are reasons municipalities are protected and alot of it has to do with avoiding the slippery slope of litigation leading to increased municipal costs leading to increased taxes for everyone.

Back on topic, I forgot to mention to make sure you get your cast changed every 2-3 weeks. They get stinky and itchy after a while, changing the cast will help avoid discomfort and potential infections.
