Walker v. City of Pasadena CA2/2
Defendant and appellant City of Pasadena (City) appeals from the judgment entered in favor of plaintiff and respondent Larry D. Walker (Walker) following a trial in which the jury found the City liable under Government Code section 835 for injury caused by a dangerous condition of its property. The City contends there was no evidence that it had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition (a sidewalk uplifted by tree roots) a sufficient time prior to Walker’s injury. The City further contends testimony by Walker’s expert witness on the issue of notice should not have been admitted.
Substantial evidence supports the jury’s finding that the City had constructive notice of the dangerous condition a sufficient time prior to Walker’s injury, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting the challenged expert testimony. We therefore affirm the judgment.
