Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. Sues City of San Francisco Following Bicycle Accident
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) September 24, 2018 -- Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. filed a complaint April 13, 2018 in San Francisco County Superior Court against the City and County of San Francisco, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, California Department of Transportation, and Does 1-10 (names and capacities unknown). The complaint is filed under case number: CGC-18-565746.
Per the complaint, on September 29, 2017, Yi Gu was injured at the intersection of 17th and Sanchez Streets when her bike got caught in a streetcar track. The suit alleges the street was raised and had crevices, holes, uneven and deep streetcar tracks, and other defects that created an unsafe and dangerous condition on the street surface.
The complaint alleges the defendants negligently controlled, inspected, maintained, and/or used the premises where the accident occurred, permitting a portion of the road to be defective and uneven, thus creating the unsafe and dangerous condition that led to the accident. It also alleges the defendants had enough time to protect against the dangerous condition, and their failure to do so created a foreseeable risk of the kind of injury that occurred.
The suit further alleges the streetcar tracks where the accident occurred were dangerously placed, marked, signed, controlled, and positioned due to negligence, carelessness, and/or violation of the defendants’ statutory duties, which constitutes a dangerous condition of public property pursuant to Government Code Section 830 and Appellate decisions relating thereto.
Per the complaint, the plaintiff suffered great physical, mental, and nervous pain and suffering and alleges her injuries will cause some permanent disability. The plaintiff is pursuing compensation for the following damages:
• All economic damages and losses;
• All non-economic damages;
• Emotional distress damages;
• Cost of suit incurred;
• Prejudgment interest; and
• Such other and further relief the Court deems just and proper.
