Weischadle v. City of L.A. CA2/7
Weischadle fell on an escalator at Los Angeles International Airport in September 2015 and sued the City (named in the lawsuit as Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a City department) for premises liability. During most of the trial Weischadle represented herself; the Charboneau defendants represented the City. After Weischadle failed to present any admissible evidence to support her claim of dangerous condition of public property, the trial court granted the City’s motion for nonsuit. Weischadle moved for a new trial, arguing the court had erred in sustaining the City’s objections to her proposed evidence on hearsay grounds and excluding it. She also argued the City had failed to produce critical evidence she had requested during discovery, such as surveillance video footage depicting the accident and the identities of, and contact information for, two employees of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) who had witnessed the accident.
