20SC646 – Maphis v. City of Boulder

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Maphis's claim because she failed to establish that the sidewalk deviation constituted a dangerous condition that waived the City's governmental immunity. The court held that the relevant inquiry is whether the condition created a chance of injury exceeding the bounds of reason, assessed from the totality of the undisputed circumstances, and that the deviation's size, visibility, and status as a repair hazard were insufficient here. The court therefore concluded that the City retained immunity from suit.
