What is the test for determining whether a defect in a motor vehicle is a dangerous condition?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mejia v. City of San Fernando, B283079 (Cal. App. 2018):
Whether a given defect is a dangerous condition is generally a question of fact. (Fielder v. City of Glendale (1977) 71 Cal.App.3d 719, 726 (Fielder).) Nonetheless, under what is referred to as the trivial defect doctrine, the court may determine that a defect is so minor, trivial, or insignificant that it does not constitute a dangerous condition as a matter of law.
