Osaze v. Gee (2026) A173403
Date: September 29, 2026
Court: California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, Division Two (Published)
Subject Matter: Wrongful death — unwitnessed fall; premises liability; admissibility of expert testimony
The Court of Appeal reversed a grant of summary judgment entered against the plaintiffs in a wrongful death action arising from an unwitnessed fatal fall at a Daly City veterinary hospital. Applying Kaney v. Custance and Sargon Enterprises, Inc. v. University of Southern California, the court held that circumstantial evidence and properly supported expert testimony were sufficient to raise triable issues of material fact regarding causation. The decision is published and available for citation.
How We Report Case Results
Synergist Law is a boutique trial firm in San Rafael that accepts a limited number of auto, trucking, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and complex pharmaceutical matters each year. Many of those cases are resolved only after motion practice, trial, or appeal — and the results above reflect that selective caseload.
We report only verifiable outcomes: trial court orders, appellate decisions of record, trial verdicts, and judgments. Each entry links to a longer case summary describing the procedural posture, the issues presented, and the resolution in plain terms. Appellate work is included alongside trial work because published opinions are a meaningful measure of a firm’s willingness to litigate difficult legal issues to resolution — not every plaintiffs’ firm carries matters that far.
