Facts

Frank Villa was an invited guest of the City and County of San Francisco's Sharp Park Golf Course. While in the parking lot, he fell and sustained injuries. Villa later sued the City and County of San Francisco, the Golf Course, and the restaurant located near the parking lot for his claimed injuries.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff contended that defendants were liable for his injuries. Defendants failed to adequately maintain their parking lot and allowed a large crack to form in the pavement. Defendants were aware of the condition of the parking lot, but did not warn its patrons or plaintiff of the risk of falling. Thus, defendants created a dangerous condition that caused plaintiff's injuries. Thus, plaintiff sought damages based on the theories of premises liability, negligence, and creating a dangerous condition.

DEFENDANTS' CONTENTIONS: Defendants denied the contentions.

Result

The parties agreed to settle the claims for $64,250.
