What is the test for "substantial similarity" between accident evidence and other accident evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Salas v. California Dep't of Transp., C063434, Super. Ct. No. CV034313 (Cal. App. 2011):

While there must be substantial similarity to offer other accident evidence for any purpose, a stricter degree of substantial similarity is required when other accident evidence is offered to show a dangerous condition; "'the other accident must be connected in some way with that thing.'" (Sambrano v. City of San Diego (2001) 94 Cal.App.4th 225, 237 (Sambrano).)
