Chandler v. City of Cypress CA4/14
While walking on a public sidewalk in a residential neighborhood in the City of Cypress (City), Marie Chandler tripped on a crack and fell. As a result of her fall, Chandler suffered significant injuries. She thereafter filed a complaint against the City, asserting a single cause of action for dangerous condition of public property under Government Code section 835. The trial court granted summary judgment for the City. After independently reviewing the record, we affirm. As explained below, the defect in the sidewalk was trivial as a matter of law; the City also made a prima facie showing it had no notice of the crack in the sidewalk.
