Plaintiffs were injured in an accident on a bridge and brought an action for dangerous condition of public property. Defendants argued they enjoyed design immunity, but plaintiffs contended they lost that immunity when they became aware of certain technological changes which made it appropriate to install modifications. The trial court entered judgment in favor the defendants. The appellate court affirmed, finding the technological changes do not constitute changed physical conditions required to end design immunity. Dammann v. Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (Cal. App. First Dist., Div. 2; December 20, 2012) 212 Cal.App.4th 335.
