California city pays $2 million to woman who blamed life-altering injuries on missing stop sign
Briefly

Isabella Araceli Franco was awarded $2 million by San Diego after suffering severe injuries in a car accident attributed to the city’s negligence in replacing a missing stop sign at a T-intersection. The accident occurred in January 2023 when her vehicle was struck by a truck at a location where a critical stop sign was either missing or improperly placed. Franco's ongoing medical issues resulting from a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures will likely prevent her from returning to work, emphasizing the impact of municipal failures on individuals’ lives.
Franco's lawsuit reveals that the city was aware of the missing stop sign and its dangerous implications, yet failed to take necessary actions prior to the crash.
Her traumatic brain injury, along with severe fractures, has rendered her incapable of returning to work, altering her life drastically with ongoing medical needs.
