Statistics show that approximately 2,000 people were injured as a result of car accidents in San Bernardino County in a given year. Big-rigs take up a lot of space and are seen all over freeways in Southern California.
According to the San Bernardino Police Department at least one person was injured on Interstate 15 in the Cajon Pass recently when the vehicle he or she was in ended up underneath a big-rig. Witnesses say the vehicle swerved erratically shortly before the accident occurred. The individual was taken to a local hospital for treatment. It is not known if the individual was the driver or a passenger.
The accident is under investigation to determine what caused the vehicle to go out of control. Investigators are checking to see if it was a mechanical defect or if the driver was at fault.
If you are a passenger in a vehicle that crashes because of the driver’s negligence, the driver may be held liable for your injuries and damages. Contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will explain your rights and options to you.

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.
