SloveniaA woman from Zagreb fell into a manhole while walking her dog in April 2022. The incident occurred on a grassy surface that appeared enclosed, but she managed to avoid falling two meters deep due to a backpack on her shoulders. She was partially stuck up to her armpits with her legs dangling inside the manhole until a passerby helped her out and called the police. The city of Zagreb, represented by its legal counsel, denied liability, arguing that the area was not designated for pedestrians and that the manhole owner was Zagreb Holding, not the city itself. However, the court ruled that the area was accessible to everyone and that the city was responsible for maintaining it safely. As a result, the city was ordered to pay compensation for the woman's physical pain, fear, and care costs totaling 1,350 euros, 1,050 euros, and 390 euros respectively.
