Any person who renders a street insufficient or unsafe for
travel by any excavations or obstructions not authorized by law
or ordinance, or is negligent in the management of any
authorized excavation or obstruction, or fails to maintain
proper guards or lights is liable for all damages recovered by
any person injured as a result of the obstruction or negligence.
No action may be maintained against the city or town for damages
unless the person or persons creating the condition are joined
as parties defendant. In case of judgment against the
defendants, execution shall at first issue only against the
defendant causing the insufficiency or danger, and the city or
town is not required to pay the judgment until that execution is
returned unsatisfied. If the city or town pays the judgment, it
is the owner thereof and may enforce its payment from the other
defendants. The city or town is also entitled to execution
against them and to take such other proceedings as judgment
creditors are entitled to take.
