Shed v. Orange County Transportation Auth. CA4/3
In August 2014, Antonia Shed was a passenger on a bus operated by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and suffered an injury to her foot when the coach’s driver activated the wheelchair ramp. Shed filed a complaint against OCTA for negligence and other claims. Following a bench trial, the court found OCTA failed to exercise reasonable care and Shed was injured as a result. However, the court entered judgment in favor of OCTA because Shed failed to prove damages. Shed presented no evidence of economic damages but argued she was entitled to noneconomic damages for long-term pain and suffering. The trial court rejected this argument because Shed’s evidence failed to show any continuing injury or pain and suffering attributable to the incident on the bus. Shed contends the judgment must be reversed because she presented “reasonable evidence of her pain and suffering.” We disagree and affirm the judgment.
