Noticias de última hora: La policía de Los Ángeles atropella a un bañista en la playa

When you are sunbathing at your favorite beach, do you ever expect to be run over by a police vehicle? Does getting run over by a police vehicle while relaxing on the beach seem unrealistic? Police vehicles, among other vehicles, routinely patrol beaches. On Sunday, April 21, 2019, a sunbather between the ages of 25 and 30 was run over by a police cruiser. The incident occurred at approximately 2:10 p.m. on Venice Beach, near the boardwalk. While performing their patrol on the sand, the officers turned their vehicle and accidentally struck someone. According to reports, the officers found the woman under their cruiser (an SUV). The woman was rendered first aid by medical personal that was already present on the beach. The woman was then transported to a local hospital; she did not suffer any serious injuries from the incident.

Was LAPD Negligent?

Was LAPD negligent in the incident described above? The officers in the cruiser failed to see the sunbathing woman. According to the report, the police cruiser ran over the woman after a turn. Although the officers might have been paying attention to where they were traveling prior to the turn, the woman was likely in a blind spot. Without a doubt, the officers operating the police cruiser should have been paying more attention to where they were going. Had they been paying more care to where they were traveling, they might have seen the sunbather and driven around her. In fact, the officers in the police cruiser should have expected people to be sunbathing on the sand; therefore, they should have exercised even more care when operating the cruiser.

Could the Victim Pursue a Claim against LAPD?

Según California Government Code Section 820(a), public employees (such as police officers) could be held liable under the principles of general tort. When public employees are liable for harming others, vicarious liability generally applies (the employer is liable for the actions of the employee); vicarious liability is established by Government Code Section 815.2. However, police officers could be immune to negligence claims as long as they were acting reasonably within their duties of their job. Without a doubt, understanding whether LAPD could be held liable for personal injury accidents can be complicated and confusing. Because of that, you should not hesitate to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
