Like father, like daughter. Dominique Sharpton, the daughter of race hustler, Al Sharpton, learned a lot at daddy’s knee. She is suing the city of New York for five million dollars after a faulty sidewalk caused her to hurt her ankle. Miraculously just scant hours after permanently damaging her ankle she was seen hopping about a concert in high heels. She must have been in shock and didn’t feel the pain until after talking to daddy and his lawyer.

Dominique Sharpton claims she fell in a crosswalk, which would make hers a “defective roadway” claim. The city received 774 such claims in the 2014 fiscal year alone.
She was left with “internal and external injuries to the whole body, lower and upper limbs, the full extent of which are unknown, permanent pain and mental anguish,” she alleges.
The younger Sharpton is seeking the damages for “loss of quality of life, future pain and suffering, future medical bills, [and] future diminution of income,” according to court papers.
Sharpton’s lawyer, John Elefterakis, said she had “multiple ligament and tendon tears” and “has not had any involvement in selecting a figure that would be fair and adequate compensation for her pain and suffering. The number was selected by my firm and is meant as a safeguard for Ms. Sharpton in a worst-case scenario.”
