RE: Olson v. Brown and City of St. Paul;
Brown v. City of St. Paul
This involves a lawsuit (Olson) and a claim (Brown) resulting
from an automobile accident occurring on or about July 8, 1984
at the intersection of Fifth and Forest Streets in the City of
St. Paul. The accidents involved automobiles operated separately
by Olson and Brown. They both claim, in part, the accident was
due to and the result of a stop sign facing Brown which could not
be seen because it was obstructed by a tree owned by the City.
They both claimed negligence on the part of the City in failing
to maintain this street. The City has denied liability claiming
the accident resulted from Olson' s and Brown' s failure to maintain
a proper lookout.
To elimiate the uncertainty of an adverse jury verdict, this office
approves the payment of $700 to Olson to fully and completely settle
all claims and rnatters which may be asserted by both Olson and
Brown resulting from thsi accident.
