Rawlings v. City of Oakland CA1/4
Appellant City of Oakland (the City) appeals a jury verdict awarded to respondent Stefanie Rawlings arising from an accident where defendant David Hurth hit Rawlings with his car during a protest at the Port of Oakland. Rawlings sued both Hurth and the City for negligence, claiming the Oakland Police Department (OPD) directed Hurth to drive through the picket line causing her injuries. The jury found Rawlings to be 60 percent at fault, the City to be 40 percent at fault, and assigned no liability to Hurth. The City alleges that the jury verdict was not supported by sufficient evidence, the court made erroneous evidentiary rulings, and the court erred in denying both its motion for summary adjudication and motion for a new trial. We affirm.
