Thomas Schwei has filed a personal injury lawsuit against Julia Morgan Ballroom LLC, alleging negligence after an incident at the defendant's premises. The complaint was lodged in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, on November 26, 2024. The case accuses Julia Morgan Ballroom LLC of maintaining unsafe conditions that led to Schwei's injuries.
According to the complaint, Thomas Schwei, a resident of Solano County, visited the Julia Morgan Ballroom on December 4, 2022. During his visit to this venue located at the Merchants Exchange in San Francisco, he intended to procure goods and services offered by the defendants. However, Schwei claims that due to negligent management and maintenance by Julia Morgan Ballroom LLC and its agents or employees, he slipped on an unknown substance while walking across the dance floor. This slip resulted in injuries to his knee.
The plaintiff argues that the defendants were aware or should have been aware of the hazardous condition present at their premises but failed to take necessary actions such as removing the hazard or warning patrons about it. As a result of this alleged negligence, Schwei asserts that he has suffered significant damages including medical expenses and loss of earnings due to being unable to attend his usual occupation. Furthermore, he claims an inability to perform household services since the incident occurred.
Schwei is seeking various forms of relief from the court. He requests non-economic damages exceeding the jurisdictional limit of the court for pain and suffering endured due to his injuries. Additionally, he seeks compensation for all medical and incidental expenses incurred as well as future costs related to ongoing treatment. Schwei also demands reimbursement for lost earnings both past and future resulting from his inability to work post-incident. Moreover, he asks for compensation for loss related to household services along with prejudgment interest where applicable by law.
Representing Thomas Schwei is attorney Thomas A. Morgan from Ayala, Morgan & Buzzard law firm based in Brentwood, California. The case is identified under Case No.: CGC-24-62013 and will be presided over by judges from the Superior Court of California in San Francisco County.
