“Mr. Martinez was injured due to a dangerous condition of public property when the front tire of his motorcycle hit a large crack (about 6″ deep and 9″ wide) in the middle of the Roadway, causing the motorcycle to overturn, slide along the road, and throw Mr. Martinez onto the asphalt, in the middle of the roadway,” the filing reads (via The Blast).

Olivier says the road was “dangerous due to damaged, deteriorated, worn out and crumbling asphalt, with multiple potholes, large/deep cracks” and that the crash was caused by “a large/deep crack in the middle of two parallel concrete slabs which was not visible.”

The lawsuit claims that Olivier suffered “Concussion, Brain Injury, Loss of Consciousness, Facial Laceration, Nose Fracture, and further bodily injuries to be determined at a later time.”

Olivier says that the city had notice about the road conditions.

Earlier this year, Olivier settled his divorce with Halle Berry, eight years after their split, and she’s paying quite a bit in child support.
