Case Details
Our client was riding his bicycle in a bike lane when he encountered a tree branch that had been allowed to grow over the bike lane and partially blocked a bicyclist’s path. Our investigation revealed that the tree that caused our client to move to the left into the zone of danger was on County of Sacramento property, was overgrown and not properly maintained, and that the County violated its own code that required that trees on public property be trimmed to provide at least 14.5 feet of clearance above all roadways. The County contributed to a settlement that provided our client with financial support, home comfort and medical care for the rest of his life.
Additional Notes
Tree branch on County of Sacramento property was overgrown and not properly maintained, violating County code.
