I just returned from los Angeles (to obtain some furniture of all things) and now it is time to write. In early December, last month, it was reported that a carpenter who slipped and fell into a ditch on her property is suing Barbra Streisand. Daniel Ortiz said he was working at the singer’s home in Malibu (I bet there is some nice designer furniture in that house) when he fell into a ditch, which he claims, he should have been warned about. I am sure he has an attorney.
According to the source, Ortiz claims that as a consequence of the fall, he has experienced mental and physical distress, embarrassment, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life. He contends that Streisand was neglectful in not warning him of the hazardous conditions on her property. He claims that she should have made the conditions safe. Los Angeles accidents can result in injuries, fractures and broken bones, back and hip injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other painful and debilitating injuries. As a
brief aside if you are looking for a superb Furniture Source then please allow me to recommend this firm. They can help with a number of designer and other types of furniture as well. Now back to the main story:
Under California Liability laws, a property owner can be held liable for California premises liability if a injured party is able to provide evidence that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition, is responsible for the danger on the premise, neglected to inform that the danger existed on the property, and failed to act as a “reasonable” person would have by taking steps to prevent the accident from occurring, even if it was tripping over a peice of lawn chair furniture, for example.. That is why so many attorney are out there.
