Smith v. Acme Corp., Case No. 24-CV-1138 (L.A. Superior Court). Plaintiff alleges injuries from a March 4, 2023 scaffold collapse at an Acme construction site. Witness John Doe is the site supervisor who oversaw the east-scaffold operation .

  • Witness admits he personally decided to skip the pre-shift safety inspection on the day of the incident .
  • Witness denies awareness of any prior incidents on the same scaffold, but Exhibit 3 (Feb. 19, 2023 incident report) directly contradicts this .
  • Witness retreats to 'I don't recall' when confronted with his apparent signature on Exhibit 3 .
  • Tie-off anchors were replaced two days post-incident at ~$48,000 — strong evidence of a known pre-existing defect .

Background

John Edward Doe — 11-year site supervisor at Acme Corp., responsible for pre-shift safety on the east scaffold .

Bias Indicators
  • Long-tenured Acme employee with direct decisional authority over the inspection that was skipped — strong incentive to minimize personal exposure .
Recall Reliability

Cooperative on neutral facts; selective 'don't recall' when confronted with documents adverse to the defense .

Pre-shift inspection skipped
  • Witness conceded the pre-shift inspection was skipped because crew was behind on the pour schedule .
  • Witness affirmed it was his personal decision to skip it .
Post-incident remediation
  • All east-face tie-off anchors were replaced two days after the incident .
  • Witness agreed the cost was approximately $48,000 .

  • Pre-shift safety inspection was skipped on March 4, 2023
  • Decision to skip the inspection was made personally by the witness
  • Tie-off anchors replaced two days after the incident at ~$48,000

  • Denies awareness of any prior incidents on the east scaffold
  • Denies recollection of signing the Feb. 19, 2023 incident report (Exhibit 3)

  • Denial of awareness of prior incidents is directly impeached by Exhibit 3, an internal incident report dated Feb. 19, 2023 (two weeks pre-accident) bearing what appears to be the witness's signature

  • Exhibit 3

    Internal incident report dated February 19, 2023 concerning the east scaffold

    Reaction: Recognized the document as an internal incident report but claims not to recall signing it

  • John DoeWitness; site supervisor, Acme Corp.
  • Mr. HarrisCounsel for Plaintiff (examining)
  • Mr. LeeCounsel for Defendant Acme Corp.
  • Jane Roe, CSRCertified Shorthand Reporter

  • Whether he signed the Feb. 19, 2023 incident report (Exhibit 3)
  • Attendees at the morning safety briefing on March 4, 2023

  • Form / Foundation
    by Mr. Lee

  • Remediation cost

    Replacement of east-face tie-off anchors (~$48,000), two days post-incident

  • Subpoena Acme HR for signature exemplars to authenticate Exhibit 3
  • Request maintenance logs for east scaffold from Jan–Mar 2023
  • Identify and depose attendees of the March 4 morning safety briefing

Implications
  • Personal admission of skipping inspection establishes direct supervisory negligence .
  • Post-incident repair at significant cost supports notice of pre-existing defect .
Risk Flags
  • highWitness's selective recall on Exhibit 3 invites a credibility instruction at trial
  • mediumDefense may argue subsequent remedial measures are inadmissible under Evid. Code §1151
Cross-Exam Targets
  • Authenticate Exhibit 3 signature through prior-deposition exemplars .
  • Tie the skipped inspection directly to the failure mode of the tie-off anchors .
