Court Reviews a Wrongful Death Suit Against a City Involving an Unsafe Condition Claim

GUY ALEXANDER, JR., AS SURVIVING SPOUSE OF JULIE ANNE ALEXANDER, DECEASED v. CITY OF MURFREESBORO (Tenn. Ct. App. March 15, 2011)

Julie Alexander died in an automobile accident on South Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro. Her husband sued the city, claiming that the road was unsafe or dangerous and that the city had notice of the condition of the road. After a trial, the trial court found that the city did not have notice and that the road was not unsafe or dangerous. Ms. Alexander's husband appealed. We affirm the trial court's decision that the city had no notice of the condition.
