Hit hard.

A Sherman Oaks resident is asking a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to reconsider an earlier ruling that found his inattentiveness caused him to be struck by a car in West Hollywood, leading to brain injuries.

Jason Eli Sayers claims that the City of West Hollywood is liable because it is responsible for the poor lighting, obstructing foliage and a malfunctioning remote sensor lighting system designed to alert drivers of crosswalks. In a two-week trial, he submitted petitions from hundreds of pedestrians claiming the crosswalk at Sunset Boulevard and Alta Loma Road is dangerous, as well as documents acknowledging the intersection has been among the worst pedestrian crosswalks in West Hollywood.

In November, the trial judge said Sayers could have looked around any obstacles, such as parked cars, created by the design of the crosswalk.
