Tentative Rulings

Case Number: ****2203    Hearing Date: July 20, 2020    Dept: 32

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 32

rigoberto ibarra ginez,

Plaintiff,

v.

daniel galindo, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: ****2203

Hearing Date: July 17, 2020

[TENTATIVE] order RE:

motion to bifurcate

Defendants Daniel Galindo and Horizons Construction Company International, Inc. (“Defendants”) move to bifurcate the trial of this case into two phases: liability and damages. Under Code of Civil Procedure section 598, “The court may, when the convenience of witnesses, the ends of justice, or the economy and efficiency of handling the litigation would be promoted thereby . . . make an order . . . that the trial of any issue or any part thereof shall precede the trial of any other issue or any part thereof in the case[.]”  (Code Civ. Proc., ; 598.)

Defendants have not demonstrated that bifurcation would result in efficiencies. Instead, it is likely that it would result in duplication of effort.  Plaintiff Rigoberto Ibarra Ginez (“Plaintiff”) alleges that he was injured in a collision with a vehicle owned and operated by Defendants. It would be logical and efficient for Plaintiff to present evidence on how and why Defendants are liable for the underlying accident at the same time as Plaintiff presents evidence on the resulting injuries. This is particularly true in this case, where the parties disagree on causation of the accident, and the jury might consider the contributory negligence of each side.

CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Defendants’ motion to bifurcate the trial is denied. Defendants shall provide notice and file proof of such with the Court.

DATED: July 17, 2020 ___________________________
