Nora Garcia v. PCL Construction Inc.

Summary

A California state court jury heard opening statements August 5th in a premises liability lawsuit filed by an assistant high school principal claiming a fall on an uneven concrete surface outside a new student services building left her with serious knee and wrist fractures.

Plaintiff Nora Garcia sued defendant PCL Construction Inc. following a fall in 2023 that her attorney Dan Kramer of Kramer Trial Lawyers told a Los Angeles County jury would leave her in pain for the rest of her life. Garcia, who worked as a special education assistant principal at Orange High School, claims school officials informed PCL about an uneven concrete lip outside the newly constructed student services building, but the contractor took no action until after the accident.
