Pedestrian Accident
William M. Paoli and Court B.

The Defense relied on the opinions of the investigating officers who determined that Ms. Larsen and her friends were at fault for causing the accident since they failed to utilize a marked crosswalk and were “jay walking”. Plaintiffs were able to show that historic marked cross walks in the area had, without City approval, been eliminated and that there were no marked crosswalks for over a mile and no operating street lights on the roadway at the time of the accident. In addition, Plaintiffs alleged that the City had actual notice of a dangerous condition to pedestrians and of other pedestrian accidents and fatalities going back many years.

Premise Liability
Court B. Purdy of Paoli & Purdy, PC and Jeffrey Greenman of Greenman Law, P.C. obtained an arbitration award in a premises liability case against Kaiser Foundation and its related affiliates for $1,237,724.00. This case stemmed from Plaintiff’s use of a handicap bathroom door at a Kaiser facility in Anaheim that Plaintiff claimed had not been installed per the ADA requirements thereby causing her to fall and injure her right arm which resulted in seven surgeries, infections and permanent injury. The Defense argued that there was nothing wrong with the forces to either open or close the bathroom door, that Plaintiff caused her injury and that the care was not related to the fall, if in fact it had even occurred as Plaintiff described . There was never any offer by the Defendant to resolve this matter before the arbitration.
