Britton v. City of Lakewood

OPINION

By CARPENTER, J.:

The plaintiff alleged and her evidence tended to prove that she sustained an injury from a fall when she stepped into a hole on the tree lawn of one of the defendant’s streets and that the hole was covered with grass and weeds and she could not see it before she stepped into it; also, that that condition of nuisance had existed for several years and was known to the city or should have been in the exercise of reasonable care. For the resulting damage she sustained she asked judgment against the defendant, basing her claim on §3714 GC.

The answer was a general denial…
