Two lanes remained close following the fatal car crash and were reopened at 4:38 a.m. An investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the car wreck.

There is limited information available at the time of this posting about how this freeway accident occurred. There are several unanswered questions here. Who caused the accident? Who was at fault?

Was there an auto defect or mechanical malfunction that caused the driver to lose control? We trust that officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine how or why this auto accident occurred.

Victims of negligent drivers often face substantial financial hardships in addition to their physical injuries. In such cases, accident victims can seek compensation to cover medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of hospitalization, pain and suffering, and other related damages.

Richard Steinberg, 50, sustained serious injuries on the morning of September 6, 2010, when he crashed his Saturn on Interstate 80 (I-80) near American Canyon, approximately 500 miles from San Diego in Solano County. According to California Highway Patrol officers, Steinberg was speeding in his car when he made a sharp turn and crashed his vehicle into the center divider where it overturned.

Two off-duty firefighters present at the traffic collision scene provided Steinberg with medical assistance before he was transported to Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center. The exact cause of this auto accident is however not clear and it cannot be ruled out that it might have occurred due to bad condition of the road.

If the investigation reveals that a third party was at fault for causing Steinberg to lose control of his vehicle, either due to a car design issue or failure to maintain the road in a safe condition, the responsible parties might be responsible to pay Steinberg compensation for medical costs, cost of hospitalization, cost of treatment, lost wages, and other related damages.
We sincerely hope that Steinberg recovers to his complete health soon.

A giant red truck caused a four car accident in Oakland on September 8, 2010 when the truck’s brakes failed. The truck slammed into a silver Honda car that was waiting for the light to change at the intersection of Grand near Lake Merritt and Mac Arthur, approximately 450 miles from San Diego in San Francisco County.

When the truck hit the car, it caused a multiple vehicle chain reaction accident involving four cars that rammed into each other. Drivers and passengers in the cars sustained minor injuries, but none of them was reported to be life threatening.

From the facts available, it seems that the truck lost its’ brakes due to a mechanical defect. If this is found in the investigation, then the automotive manufacturer might be responsible to pay the injured victims with compensation for the medical costs and the damage done to the cars. It is also possible that the brakes failed due to overloading. In this case too, the employer of the truck driver may be held liable for causing the traffic collision.

The injured victims should consult with an experienced Oakland car accident lawyer who will keep abreast with the investigation and ensure fair compensation. We hope that the injured victims recover to their complete health soon.

A North County Transit District bus driver and six passengers sustained injuries when their bus collided with a pickup truck on the afternoon of August 28, 2010. According to Valley Center authorities this accident occurred around 2p.m. on North Lake Wohlford Road south of Valley Center.

The southbound pick up truck crossed into the northbound lanes and struck the district bus. Sgt. Scott Payson said that the left front end of the truck hit the left front of the bus and caused moderate damage to both the vehicles. The pickup driver fortunately escaped unhurt, but the bus driver along with his passengers suffered injuries. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment of their injuries.

The windshield of the bus shattered and some of the passengers complained of back and neck pain. Investigating officers are trying to determine why the pickup driver entered into the wrong lane on a straight stretch of road. Payson said that drugs and alcohol do not appear to be the reason behind this crash, but distraction due to cell phone cannot be ruled out. A right-of-way violation may have played a part in this traffic collision. California law requires drivers to give the right of way to oncoming vehicles and to cars who have already entered the intersection from a different road.

If this accident occurred due to the negligence of either or both of the drivers, then the responsible persons might be liable to pay legal compensation to the injured passengers for medical costs and other related deamages.

A 39-year old Clairemont woman sustained serious injuries when her car collided with an empty dump truck near Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego on August 23, 2010 around 9:00 a.m. in the morning.

San Diego police lieutenant Andra Brown said a dump truck allegedly ran the red light from the State Route 163 (SR-163) off-ramp to Kearny Villa Road and hit a compact sedan driven by the woman. The female car driver suffered major injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. It is not clear whether the truck driver was hurt. Investigating officers closed the lanes to investigate the exact cause of this crash.

California law requires drivers to come to a complete stop at a stop sign and proceed with caution. According to California Vehicle Code section 21802 (a): "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." It clearly appears that the truck driver violated the traffic rules and caused this accident. It is possible that the truck driver was distracted or was driving under influence. Since there has been violation of traffic rules, the truck driver or his employer might be liable to pay a legal compensation to the injured woman for medical expenses, cost of medical care, and for pain and suffering.

It is unfortunate that the truck driver’s negligent driving caused the woman so much suffering. We hope that she recovers to her complete health soon.

Two people, including a Garden Grove teenager, sustained injuries in a Santa Clarita car accident on June 15, 2010. According to the Orange County Register report, the traffic collision took place at the intersection of Stevenson Ranch Parkway and Pico Canyon Road. The car crash occurred when Jessie Frutos, 17, driving his Mercedes Benz E55 drove right into the path of a car driven by a Los Angeles Sherriff’s Patrol, Deputy Blake Carpenter, 24, and caused a head-on collision.

Frutos was heading east on Pico Canyon Road when either he or Officer Carpenter failed to give the right of the way to each other. The police investigation is still in progress to determine the exact cause of this collision. If the officer is found to have been negligent, he and/or his employer can be held liable for the cost of Frutos’ hospitalization, treatment of injuries, and other related expenses. California law requires drivers to give the right of way to oncoming vehicles and to vehicles who have already entered the intersection from a different road.

We wish both the injured victims a speedy recovery and hope that they did not sustain any major injury.

Two people sustained serious injuries on June 10, 2010, in an Irvine car crash when the driver lost control of his green colored Toyota Tacoma pickup. The driver of Toyota, Daniel Stirewalt, 23, was later arrested on the suspicion of drunken driving.

According to the Orange County Register news report, Stirewalt was driving east towards Walnut Avenue when he failed to negotiate a curve near Kazan Street. His vehicle then hit the center median and rolled over. The passenger riding in Stirewalt’s vehicle had to be pulled from the vehicle and transported to a nearby hospital with head injuries.

In accidents like these where a single vehicle accident is caused by a negligent driver, his injured passenger may be entitled for compensation to cover medical expenses, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and other related damages. In this particular case, the driver may have been in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) for driving under the influence of alcohol. That section states, “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.”

Consulting with an experienced Irvine personal injury attorney is important in these cases because there are a variety of defenses which may be raised by the insurance company, including alleging that the injured victim is responsible for his own injuries for getting into a car with a driver he should have known was intoxicated and unfit to drive. That is a favorite insurance defense argument. In addition, a trained car accident lawyer may be able to have the negligent driver’s insurance company pay for his attorneys’ fees, rather than having the injured person being responsible for this bill.

The driver who fled from the accident site was described as a white man in his 20s and that he was driving a white Toyota Corolla.

We pray that the child comes out safe and sound after this tragic incident.

A man was killed and three others were injured in a fatal Riverside County car accident that happened between a Ford pickup and Toyota Prius on March 30, 2010. The auto accident happened at around 12:30 p.m. on the northbound 86 Expressway at Airport Boulevard.

The Ford driver, 42-year old Yucca Valley resident Amber Line, reportedly slammed into the rear of the Toyota while pulling a trailer with her pickup truck. The traffic collision made both the vehicles move around 300 feet from the point of crash. One of the Toyota passengers lost his life and another passenger was sent to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. The two drivers were treated for minor injuries.

Our office wishes to offer our prayers and condolences to the friends and family of the deceased man and the people injured in this wreck. The passenger lost his life to no fault of his own—just the apparent carelessness of the pickup driver. This collision was completely avoidable had the truck driver been paying more attention and leaving more space between his truck and the Prius.

Three people were injured in a San Diego rollover car accident that took place on March 22, 2010 on northbound Interstate 15 (I-15) just south of Deer Springs Road in Escondido.

Two 90-year old women were injured in a San Diego car accident on March 16, 2010 when their car veered off a La Playa-area street and crashed into a garage.

The driver of the sedan lost control while making a turn onto the 400 block of Rosecrans Street in Point Loma shortly after noon. The vehicle crashed into a garage door, destroying it, and damaging the corner of the carport. Paramedics took the driver and her passenger to UCSD Medical Center for treatment for their injuries.

Though we are glad that no major injuries were suffered and all the property damage can be repaired, we remain very concerned about monitoring the driving ability of elderly drivers. While we understand that senior citizens value their independence and mobility just as much as anyone else, the fact of the matter is that reaction times and motor skills diminish with age. In addition, the likelihood of serious accidents being caused by stroke or heart attack also increases. We support efforts that allow senior citizens to drive provided they undergo more frequent testing in order to keep their drivers’ license.
