Silva v. City of L.A. CA2/2
While riding on Ballona Creek Bike Path (Bike Path), Kildare Lima Silva (Silva) encountered uneven asphalt, lost control of his bike, and suffered personal injuries that rendered him a quadriplegic. A negligence lawsuit ensued. The trial court granted summary judgment for City of Los Angeles (City) based on the absolute trail immunity in Government Code section 831.4, subdivision (b). It also granted summary judgment for Shelter Clean Services, Inc. (Shelter Clean), a contractor for City responsible for keeping the Bike Path swept and clear, due to the absence of a duty to protect third parties from harm caused by the Bike Path’s uneven surface.
We affirm.
