A driver crossed into the path of a motorcycle at an intersection the other day – killing the 25-year old Hesperia man after he was thrown from the bike.
The motorcyclist was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. The driver of the other vehicle was also taken to the hospital for treatment. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is investigating to determine why this fatal accident took place.
According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration, thousands of people are injured and killed each year as a result of motorcycle accidents. The chances of a motorcyclist being killed are much higher than those of an occupant in an automobile.
If the driver of the car is found to be at fault for this young man’s death, the relatives of this man should contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney and file a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver.

When a serious accident occurs, the victim may sustain an injury that will heal over time. However, he or she may sustain an injury that will change his or her life forever.
An example of a serious injury that could occur is an eye or inner ear injury. This type of injury can rob them of their ability to see or hear – the life they led is gone forever. It may happen in a work-related explosion or exposure to certain chemicals.
If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, such as an eye or ear injury, in an accident that you did not cause, you have the right to seek full compensation from the negligent party. These cases can be extremely complex and require the skill of an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who can help you understand your rights and fight to make sure you are compensated for your injuries and all of your expenses.

Riding a motorcycle is more difficult than driving a car because of the fact that you are only on two wheels and have nothing to protect you in case of an accident. Riding a motorcycle becomes even more difficult when you have to deal with adverse conditions, such as heavy rain.
Back in 2007 a San Bernardino woman sued the County of San Bernardino when she was injured in a motorcycle accident and sustained major head and neck injuries – after heavy rains.
Bad weather may have led to her motorcycle accident. She blamed the accident on dangerous road conditions. At the time of the accident heavy rains had washed out part of the road, leaving a dangerous trench. The crash occurred before road crews were able to make repairs.
A fact to remember: When it is raining, you have much less traction when you are riding on roadways that are covered with water. Reports indicate that you have only two tires to make contact with the road and your motorcycle weighs much less than an average automobile, giving you less pressure on the tires to make contact with the road.
An accident involving a motorcycle usually results in a severe injury and sometimes death. If you have suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you seek medical attention and the legal advice of an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will explain the process, what you are facing and your next steps in moving forward.

Reports indicate that a vehicle traveling on the westbound side of Interstate 10 in Montclair struck a big-rig truck late the other night, causing the truck to hit the center divider, spill diesel fuel onto the freeway and then burst into flames.
It appears that the driver lost control of his vehicle before hitting the big-rig. An innocent bystander stopped and pulled the big-rig driver out of the truck. The trucker and one of the other drivers involved were taken by air to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The fiery accident caused the lanes in both directions to be closed for several hours. The accident is under investigation.
If you have been injured due to the negligence of another person, you want an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will help you get full and fair compensation for your losses, including physical injury, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

A man turning left onto an onramp to the northbound Interstate 15 in Victorville the other morning was struck by a woman who did not stop for a red light. The impact caused the man’s vehicle to split in two. Both drivers were taken to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Victorville Police are investigating the accident, but it appears that the woman who ran the red light is at fault. According to California Vehicle Code Section 21453(a), “A driver facing a circular red signal shall stop at the limit line before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication to proceed is shown.”
If you are injured by a driver who did not stop for a red light, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate to determine if you are entitled to compensation by the negligent party for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Placing your loved one in a San Bernardino nursing home or extended care facility is probably one of the most difficult choices you will ever make. Once you decide on a facility, you hope that it will provide a safe environment and the most nurturing care possible – you are placing your loved one in the hands of their staff.
Placing your trust in the facility also means you do not want to get a phone call that tells you there was an accident or your loved one was taken to the emergency room. What about if you see bedsores on your family member and are told the staff doesn’t know how they happened. Do you feel betrayed?
Keep your eyes open for possible signs of abuse and neglect. Look for the following:
· Failure to bathe patients
· Failure to turn or move immobile patients – look for bedsores, infections
· Unexplained falls
· Medication problems
· Withdrawal – not much talking
· Does the staff supervise each patient?
· Do patients wander away?
There are strict laws that protect the safety and welfare of nursing home residents.
However, it is unfortunate that these residents do not always receive appropriate care and the results can be severe. If a family member has suffered from nursing home abuse or neglect, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will fight for the justice and compensation that your family member deserves. No one deserves to be abused or neglected.

California law says that a driver is legally intoxicated after consuming alcohol if his or her blood alcohol content is .08% or higher. This applies to the use of drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, or even prescription drugs. A driver who drives drunk is considered negligent; he or she chooses to put other drivers at risk.
The bottom line is intoxication by any means can cause accidents and severe personal injuries. Motorists and pedestrians injured by intoxicated drivers have legal rights against the negligent driver and oftentimes the establishment that served the drunk driver the alcohol.
A drunk-driving accident can cause emotional trauma to you. If you are a victim of a drunk driver, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will aggressively pursue compensation for your injuries.
