SAN FRANCISCO — A California resident is suing the city and county of San Francisco and Does 1-50, citing negligence, after she allegedly stumbled in a hole from missing and broken road pavement.
Rosa Rivera Keel filed a complaint on Oct. 4, in the Superior Court of the State of California, against the defendants alleging that they failed to follow safety guidelines and regulations.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that, on Oct. 5, 2016, as she was walking across Davis Street at the intersection of Clay Street in San Francisco, her left foot was caught in a deep hole in the pavement, causing her to lose her balance.
Keel alleges she was injured, disfigured or disabled, lost income and incurred medical expenses.
She holds the city and county of San Francisco and Does 1-50 responsible because the defendants allegedly denied plaintiff's claim for injury sustained, failed to warn plaintiff of the dangerous deep hole in the pavement, and failed to adequately maintain, inspect and repair the dangerous condition.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against defendants for general damages, medical expenses, loss of earnings, interest, costs of suit, and further relief as the court deems just. She is represented by Robert E. Cartwright Jr. and David G. Yen of The Cartwright Law Firm Inc. in San Francisco.
