On September 6, 2016, thirteen year old Claimant, Matthew Stenzel, was struck by a

the attached Traffic Collision Report for further details.
3(e) What particular action by the City, or its employees, caused the alleged
damage or injury?
Claimant is informed and believes, and upon such information and belief alleges, as
follows:
• The City of Palm Desert reviewed and approved the location of the crosswalk at
the intersection of Rutledge Way and Myrsine Avenue in the City of Palm Desert,
Riverside County, California.
• The City of Palm Desert failed to ensure that the crosswalk was located in a safe .
area for young middle school-aged children since Palm Desert Middle School
was in the immediate area.
• The City of Palm Desert placed the crosswalk in a dangerous area and failed to
provide adequate signs/flashing lights/bot dots/signals warning motorists of
young students crossing within the crosswalk, subjecting young students to an
unusually high risk of being struck by motor vehicles, resulting in serious injury
and death.
• The dangerous condition was caused by the negligence of the City of Palm
Desert's agents and/or employee(s), [Gov. Code Sections 835(a), 840.2].
• The City of Palm Desert knew or should of known, the danger of putting a school
crosswalk in this area.
• The City of Palm Desert failed to move the crosswalk to a safer alternative
location or access point.
4. Give a general description of the indebtedness, obligation, injury, damage, or
loss incurred so far as it may be know at the time of presentation of the claim.
As a proximate and legal result of the dangerous condition of the public property, as
heretofore described, Claimant was hurt and injured to his health, strength and activity,
sustaining injury to his body and shock to his nervous system and person, as well as
mental and emotional distress, all of which said injuries have caused and continue to
cause him great mental and physical pain and suffering. Claimant is informed and
believes, and thereon alleges, that said injuries will result in some permanent disability.
As a further proximate and legal result of the dangerous condition of the public
property, as heretofore described, Claimant was caused to, and continues to, seek
treatment with appropriate health care providers for the injuries sustained in the subject
incident. His total amount of medical bills to date is unknown at this time.
