Clavel v. County of Los Angeles CA2/5
In April 2013, defendant Joseph Morales was making a left turn at an intersection in Rowland Heights, County of Los Angeles (the county) when he collided with a motorcyclist, Daniel Clavel. Plaintiff Clavel and his wife, Tracey Walker-Clavel, sued various parties including defendant Morales and the county. On summary judgment, the trial court ruled the county had established the design immunity defense (Gov. Code, § 830.6) as a matter of law.
On appeal, plaintiffs challenge the design immunity ruling. Plaintiffs argue there is no evidence the county engineers evaluated the height and color of a wall, located on private property, that sits on the northeast corner of the intersection. In addition, plaintiffs contend the trial court’s evidentiary rulings were an abuse of discretion. We affirm the judgment.
