Parent v. Dept. of Transportation
Jennifer Parent was severely injured when she was hit by a car, driven by Harold Stulberg, while she was in a crosswalk on a state highway. Parent and her husband (individually and as her guardian ad litem), sued Stulberg and the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), alleging the crosswalk constituted a dangerous condition of public property.[1] A jury returned a special verdict finding the crosswalk was not a dangerous condition, and Stulberg alone was responsible for the accident. It awarded Parent $13,313,046, and awarded her husband $5,000,000, against Stulberg.
