Shareholder Crystal L. Van Der Putten Obtains Victory for Shopping Center in Appellate Court

2/5/2020

 
​Livingston Law Firm shareholder Crystal L. Van Der Putten recently obtained an appellate victory for a shopping center in a personal injury action involving an elderly driver who accidentally depressed his accelerator, causing his vehicle to jump over a parking block and severely injure the plaintiff, an invitee at the shopping center.  The California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District, agreed with the shopping center that appellants waived challenges to the lower court’s rulings on two separate motions to compel and to the lower’s court’s evidentiary rulings at summary judgment when appellants failed to set forth separate headings and arguments on those issues.  Based on the evidence before it and current case law with substantially similar facts, the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s summary judgement ruling in the shopping center’s favor.
