Case Details
Settlement for the wrongful death of Edgar Perez-Lopez, who was killed in a marked crosswalk by a pickup truck at night. The lawsuit alleged that the City of Santa Rosa negligently failed to maintain a streetlight over the crosswalk, which had been out for over a year, contributing to the accident. The City brought a cross-complaint against PG&E for a malfunctioning transformer.
Additional Notes
Edgar Perez-Lopez was killed in 2009. The streetlight was out for over a year. The City of Santa Rosa initially tried to dismiss the case but then sued PG&E. PG&E settled with the City, paying for legal costs and the settlement amount to the family. Emergency room bills were nearly $40,000.
