On Jan. 8 2012, plaintiff Tiffany Hohmann-Jacbosen, an unemployed 42 year old, was at the residence of Raymond and Donna Meza in San Bernardino. The day included alcohol. At about 5 p.m., Hohmann-Jacbosen ventured from a hallway in the house to the attached garage. However, as entered the garage, she lost her balance and fall down two steps. As a result, Hohmann-Jacbosen fractured her right ankle. Hohmann-Jacbosen sued the Mezas. Hohmann-Jacbosen claimed that as she entered the garage, she stepped on an old worn mat, which moved and cause her to lose her balance and fall. Thus, she alleged the Mezas failed to warn her about there being a loose mat on the stairs, creating a dangerous condition. The Mezas claimed that Hohmann-Jacbosen was drunk and that the mat and stairs were both not dangerous., Hohmann-Jacbosen sought emergency room treatment at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona and was diagnosed with a complex fracture of the right ankle. She subsequently required immediate surgery with the insertion of screws and plates in order to rebuild the ankle. On Feb. 2, 2012, Hohmann-Jacbosen had a second surgery on her ankle. Hohmann-Jacbosen claimed she can no longer wear heels and has difficulty doing daily activities and chores, such as grocery shopping, cleaning, bathing and walking. Thus, Hohmann-Jacbosen sought recovery of over $90,528.52 in past medical costs, as well as an unspecified amount of damages for her past and future pain and suffering.
