In 2017, a woman named Stephanie Scott filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles City for causing series injuries due to an abruptly opened-up sinkhole. This reportedly happened near the intersection of Woodbridge Street and Laurel Canyon Boulevard, according to her lawsuit. She sued the city, arguing that her injuries were a result of government negligence.
Firefighters who rescued the women on the night told the judge that the woman was found crying for help roughly 10 feet below the ground and her car was found upside down in a big, dark sinkhole full of rushing water.
“This was a very serious case, all due to the gross negligence of the city,” attorney Kevin Boyle of the firm Panish, Shea & Boyle said in a statement Wednesday. “Ms. Scott’s SUV fell 20 feet and landed on its roof. She is lucky to be alive — she could easily have broken her neck from the roof crush or drowned in the sewage she woke up in after regaining consciousness.”
Ultimately, the Los Angeles Council was ordered to pay $4 million as compensation to the women who endured a serious danger due to the negligence of the government.
