At all times mentioned herein, North Bound 880 Freeway, exiting at or near the Broadway, is in the City of Oakland, County of Alameda, California (hereinafter "Subject Location"). JURISDICTION AND VENUE 9. Jurisdiction and venue are proper because the injury and loss occurred in the County of Alameda at the Subject Location, Plaintiff is a resident of Alameda County, and Defendant, on information and belief, Defendants are residents of Alameda County. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION NEGLIGENCE (BY PLAINTIFF AGAINST ALL DEFENDANTS) 10. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference the allegations of paragraphs 1 through 11 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein. 11. On or about August 23, 2024 at the Subject Location, the Defendants, and each of them, so negligently owned, entrusted, managed, maintained, drove, and operated Defendants' vehicle so as to cause Defendants' Vehicle to collide with the Plaintiff's Vehicle, proximately causing those injuries and damages to the Plaintiff as hereinafter described. 12. Defendants did negligently hire, train, supervise and retain each, the other, and entrusted them with a motor vehicle, a dangerous instrumentality, knowing, or in the exercise of due care, should have known, that they were unfit to operate said vehicle. 13. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of Defendants, and each of them, Plaintiff was injured in his health, strength, and activity, sustaining injuries to his body and persons, all of which said injuries have caused and continue to cause Plaintiff great physical and mental pain and suffering. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that these injuries will result in some permanent disability to her, all to her general damages in an amount which will be stated according to proof at trial. 14.

As a direct and proximate result of the acts and omissions of the Defendants, and each of them, and the injuries resulting therefrom, Plaintiff has been unable to carry out his usual occupation and will thereby suffer damages by reason of loss of income; that the exact and reasonable amount of said loss of income is unknown to Plaintiff, who will ask leave of the court either to show the amounts of Plaintiff's lost earnings, when ascertained, or to prove that amount at trial.
