Nederlander Loses Injury Lawsuit
A woman who attended a
Denise Herron, a former L.A. Sparks marketing director, and her boyfriend were walking a dirt parking lot in Griffith Park and had two options to get to the venue – to walk a dirt road into oncoming traffic or to hop a two-foot fence, according to a statement from the prosecuting attorneys.
Herron and her boyfriend opted for the latter, following several other patrons in “pitch-black” darkness. There was a three-foot drop on the other side, according to the statement.
Herron has had four major surgeries, and a bone in her leg is still in two pieces, according to the statement. She lost her job because of her injury and faces 3-5 more surgeries, according to testimony.
The jury determined the parking lot was in dangerous condition and
Nederlander directed Pollstar to its attorney for comment, who was not available at press time.
