More details to this question:
I slipped and fell on ice on a public parking space and broke at least one rib. I'm not sure if the town or state is reaponsible for clearing these parking spaces. It usually takes them days after snow to even attempt to clear the spaces and they never use salt or sand.

You may have a claim but it depends on a number of conditions : the ice had to be on the ground long enough for the state/town to know about it and have time to clear it and 2: there cannot be any fault on your part in falling ( wearing inappropriate shoes for example is a common defense).
