By chance did you take a picture of the site of the fall that day? I'm assuming that could help your case.

Unfortunately you saw it and then opted to walk on it.
the whole "volenti nonfit injuria" doesn't apply to walking down what should be a safe (and presumably ice and potential hazard free) street, document everything, hopefully your witness will be happy to go to trial, should you go that route, you also have the right to speak to a lawyer free of charge for I think 1/2 hour, talk to the law society of upper Canada to clairfy that, but he'll be able to steer you in a better direction, and tell if you have a case.
How foolish of me to try and carefully walk on a sidewalk.
The point was that you saw it then walked on it. If you wish to sue you will quickly find that this will be a major problem in winning your suit - as in you were aware of the ice that you chose to walk on.

Allow me to take off my moderator cap for a moment if you will.
Perhaps he should have hailed a cab to get to the other side of the property of this negligent occupant/owner? Where was the signed waiver or even "walk at your own risk" sign?
That has to be the first time I've replied to Hydrogen in a while (quantity ≠ quality).
Does that mean that I shouldn't leave my house? Or that I only have a case if I don't take the effort be to aware of my surroundings and instead walk around with my nose pointed up in the air?
Hey, try and go to court. I'm certainly not stopping you. Once there, state that you saw ice on the sidewalk (risk), and then opted to walk on it (informed), and are now suing for the cost of a broken computer on the basis of that action.
