LIABILITY - GEORGIA

City of Fitzgerald v. Caruthers

Court of Appeals of Georgia - July 2, 2015 - S.E.2d - 2015 WL 4069574

Pedestrian who was injured by falling tree branch brought negligence action against city. The trial court denied city’s motion for summary judgment. City petitioned for interlocutory review, which was granted.

The Court of Appeals held that genuine issue of material fact as to whether city had actual or constructive notice of hazard posed by decaying tree precluded summary judgment.
