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.

A 35-year old man walking along a major road in Apple Valley just before midnight the other night was hit by a motorist and severely injured.
Apparently he was not only walking in the traffic lanes with his back towards the traffic, but he was dressed in dark-colored clothing, when he was hit. He was taken by air to a local hospital.
The 70-year old driver told officials that he did not see the man. Walking at night and wearing dark clothing is a hazard and a danger to both the pedestrian and the motorist. When walking at night it is important to be seen. Wearing reflective clothing is a good defense against invisibility.
If you are injured by a vehicle while walking at night or at any time of the day, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to determine if you can be compensated for your injuries and expenses.

A 49-year old woman walking about 9:00 p.m. on a dirt shoulder in Victorville was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene.
When officers found her they airlifted her to a nearby hospital where she is in critical but stable condition, suffering with severe head trauma.
California Vehicle Code Section 20001 states, “The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to any person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of any person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.” Hit-and-run with injury to another person is a felony offense in California.
If you or someone you love is the victim of a hit-and-run accident that caused injury, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to discuss your legal options.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department in Victorville, a 7-year old boy was injured when he dashed into traffic and got hit by a passing vehicle.
It was reported that he was crossing the street with an older sibling. He stopped to pick up his skateboard and when he ran back into the street he got hit by an automobile. He sustained major injuries and was taken by air to a nearby hospital for treatment.
After investigating what happened, it was determined that the driver was not at fault since the young boy ran into the line of traffic – wearing dark clothing – making it hard to be seen.
If your child is injured in an accident where the driver is at fault, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the facts in your case to determine if you are entitled to reimbursement for your expenses.

A 65-year old Hesperia woman on a motorcycle was struck and killed by a vehicle when the driver ran a stop sign in Big Bear City. The driver of the vehicle was not injured.
The fatal accident happened at an intersection when the driver of the vehicle drove through a stop sign without yielding the right-of-way to the woman. California Vehicle Code Section 21801(a) states, “The driver of any vehicle approaching a stop sign at the entrance to, or within, an intersection shall stop as required by Section 22450. The driver shall then yield the right-of-way to any vehicles which have approached from another highway, or which are approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to those vehicles until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety.”
The accident is under investigation to determine if the driver was distracted, speeding or just simply negligent. If the driver is found to be at fault, he can be held civilly liable for the woman’s wrongful death. It would be wise for the family of the victim to consult with an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to seek compensation for all expenses and the loss of their family member.

According to Victorville Police, a man making an unsafe left turn caused the death of a 35-year old motorcyclist recently. The driver turned in the path of the motorcycle; the motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and died at the scene.
According to California Vehicle Code Section 21804(a), “The driver of any vehicle about to enter or cross a highway from any public or private property, or from an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all traffic.” The law requires all drivers to exercise care and caution before making a left turn on a major road.
Statistics show that three people were killed in recent years in motorcycle accidents. The accident is under investigation. If it turns out that the driver was at fault, he or she can be held liable for the motorcyclist’s wrongful death.
I urge the family of the motorcyclist to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury Attorney to determine if they can file a wrongful death claim for compensation of their loss and expenses.
