Cooper v. County of San Diego CA4/1
Following a collision along Dehesa Road, plaintiff Tramaine Cooper sued the County of San Diego (the County), alleging it had created a dangerous condition via placement of a “Welcome to Dehesa” sign and by allowing left-hand turns across the road. Cooper also alleged the County negligently failed to warn drivers of a concealed dangerous condition caused by a reduction in the sight distance resulting from the sign’s placement. In a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication, the County claimed there was no dangerous condition, it lacked notice of any dangerous condition, and it had immunity from liability pursuant to Government Code section 830.6, design immunity. The court agreed the County had design immunity and granted the motion for summary judgment.
Cooper appeals, contending the court erred by finding design immunity barred liability.
