Bertoli v. City of Sebastopol CA1/1
Appellant Julia Anna Bertoli suffered severe injuries when she was hit by an automobile while walking in a crosswalk that was shaded by overhanging trees. Bertoli sued the City of Sebastopol (City) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), claiming they were responsible for a dangerous condition on public property.
The trial court granted a nonsuit as to the City on the ground there was insufficient evidence the City owned or controlled the property in question. The jury then found by special verdict that, while Caltrans owned or controlled the property, it was not in a dangerous condition.
