ATTACHMENT
4.(d) Claimant has at this time just commenced discovery and
is not fully aware of what acts or omissions on the part of the
City of Tustin, its agents or employees, caused a dangerous
condition to exist on the brickwork/sidewalk/walkway at E1 Camino
Real and Main Street in the City of Tustin, County of Orange.
Further, that the City of Tustin, its agents or employees, failed
to make said dangerous condition (a raised uneven brickwork/
sidewalk/walkway) safe or warn of the dangerous condition which
caused Claimant to trip and fall and to sustain personal injury.
It is alleged at this time that the accident was caused by the
negligence, operation, maintenance, service, inspection, examina-
tion, management, supervision, control, repair, construction, and
design of the brickwork/sidewalk/walkway.
