Otis Felder (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and Valeria Granata (Associate-Los Angeles, CA) prevailed on behalf of the owners of a Venice Beach restaurant in Los Angeles Superior Court. The plaintiff tripped and fell on the restaurant’s staircase and claimed that the stairs were not built to code. Otis and Valeria argued that the plaintiff’s own testimony was not enough to show the owners had notice the stairs constituted a dangerous condition or that they were the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s fall. The court dismissed the lawsuit, noting the restaurant was not liable for the incident.
