A Los Angeles Superior Court judge says he is inclined to allow a lawsuit filed against Los Angeles Unified School District by the parents of a 12-year-old Torrance boy who collapsed while running at school in 2018 and later died to go to trial on a wrongful death negligence claim, but not on the plaintiffs premises liability allegation.
Judge Edward B. Moreton heard arguments Friday on the LAUSD s motion to dismiss the case brought in March 2019 by Festus Onuwa Alagba and Clara Alagba, then took the case under submission. He did not state when he would have a final decision, but his tentative ruling issued prior to Friday s hearing was to dismiss only the one cause of action.
