California Highway Patrol reported that last week a 35-year old man, was riding his motorcycle on Highway 18 near Cody Road when he sideswiped a pickup truck turning right. Upon impact, he was ejected and hit by another pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The motorcyclist had three children, ages 15, 13 and 12. A memorial service was set for him. According to his mother, everyone loved him and he will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family, especially his three children.
California Highway Patrol is investigating this fatal accident.

Lucerne Valley was the scene of two motorcycle accidents recently. A post office employee, was riding his motorcycle on Custer Avenue when he attempted to pass two vehicles in front of him by crossing a double yellow line. As he attempted to pass, one of the vehicles turned left into a driveway and the post office employee crashed into it.
The post office employee was airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center with a broken leg and an injured pelvis. Doctors performed surgery on him and his condition is improving.
California Highway Patrol is investigating this accident to determine fault. I hope the individuals involved contact an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to determine who is responsible and compensation involved.

There is nothing worse than being involved in an accident, even a fender bender can ruin your day. However, when you are involved in a motorcycle accident, serious bodily injuries can occur or it could be deadly. Motorcyclists have no protective barrier between themselves and the concrete road.
Motorcycles are fast and go in and out of traffic quickly – speeding can cause severe consequences. Statistics show that about two-thirds of motorcycle accidents are a result of a motorist turning into the motorcyclist’s lane, violating his or her right of way. In addition, motorcyclists have a much higher rate of death than a passenger does in an automobile.
More than three thousand people died in the United States last year because of motorcycle accidents – many due to negligence of the driver. If you are a victim of a motorcycle accident, I suggest you contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney who can investigate the accident for you and make sure you are compensated for your expenses.

Recently a 23-year old San Bernardino man with an outstanding warrant for a domestic violence conviction crashed his motorcycle while being chased by police. The man was declared dead at the scene near Highland Avenue and Lincoln Street. There were no other vehicles involved. It is believed that the man was under the influence of alcohol at this time.
San Bernardino Police reported that after seeing the man run through several stop signs, they tried to pull him over. Instead of pulling over, he sped up. Witnesses indicated that he was traveling over 100 miles per hour when he lost control of his motorcycle, hit a curb and fell off his motorcycle.
Records show that he pleaded guilty in September 2009 for domestic violence. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, placed on three years of probation and ordered to complete a domestic violence batterers’ program. He failed to appear in court for a probation review at the beginning of March and a warrant was issued.

If you drive a motorcycle in San Bernardino County or any county, I suggest you take extra precautions. Statistics show that four counties in California, including San Bernardino, have a high number of motorcycle deaths and injuries.
The California Highway Patrol is working to promote motorcycle safety on California freeways and roads by reducing the number of fatal accidents and injuries by implementing a 24-month traffic safety program. This program will be in effect until September 2011. The program will include a public education campaign with two public service announcements promoting the use of helmets. In addition, 15 motorcycle safety presentations will be conducted in high-risk cities. This program is being funded by the California office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Have you heard that the California Highway Patrol has created a two-year traffic safety program to try to reduce fatal motorcycle accidents and injuries in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties? It seems these counties have a large amount of fatal accidents each year – making them high-risk.
The program involves law enforcement from the air and educating the public about sharing the road with motorcyclists. It will include two public service announcements promoting the safety of helmets and fifteen motorcycle safety presentations in each county. In addition, it will also include a minimum of nine safety enforcement operations in high-risk areas.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds this program.

Car and truck accidents are always in the news, but what about individuals or pedestrians injured on our roads. San Bernardino statistics show that thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed by automobiles, motorcycles or trucks while walking along a road or crossing in a crosswalk. They are usually the victim of a negligent or reckless driver. Many intersection accidents are because of a speeding car, driver distraction or drunk driving.
A pedestrian hit can suffer a catastrophic injury. Pedestrians do not wear helmets and run the risk of head injuries when hit by a car or truck. Other injuries include fractures, spinal cord injuries or even wrongful death.
If you or a loved one is involved in a pedestrian accident, I advise you to contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney. You should be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills and/or lost wages.

A few months ago, a terrible accident occurred on the corner of Del Rosa Avenue and Date Place. The intersection has three gas stations and is close to the 210 Freeway entrance. A driver ran into a motorcyclist, which caused the motorcyclist to fly about 50 feet into the air and broke his leg. The San Bernardino Police Department, after collecting accident data for over five years, determined that this intersection is the most dangerous in the city.
The Police Department received a grant from The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to fix this problem. New radar equipment and special patrol operations should now be able to catch red-light violators and other traffic offenders, including speeders. The causes for these accidents include illegal turns, speeding and right-of-way violations. Right turns are not allowed from Date to Del Rosa on a red light. However, many drivers ignore the signs. The Police pull over many drivers every day for violations.
I hope anyone involved in a serious auto accident knows to contact an experienced Car Accident Attorney.
