Theodore Pitts v. West Coast Arborists, Inc., et al.

Vivian Rivera appeared at the hearing for WCA’s Motion for Summary Judgment in the case of Theodore Pitts v. West Coast Arborists, Inc., et al. The Court granted Defendant’s MSJ, which was written in large part by associate Maya Rosen. This is a wrongful death action brought by the daughter and the husband of the deceased, Jennifer Comey. Ms. Comey died when a large limb from a Shamel Ash tree in the City of Davis fell and hit her. Defendant argued that it did not owe a legal duty to the Plaintiff, especially because there was no documentation showing that it ever worked on this particular tree. The Court agreed.
