According to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s office, a 25-year old Fontana man died in the early hours in an accident in Victorville.
Apparently he had lost control of his motorcycle while going around a curve in the road and was ejected from his seat, causing his body to end up quite a distance away from the accident.
Firefighters pronounced him dead at the scene. He was wearing a helmet but no other safety gear. The Sheriff’s Department is investigating to determine what caused this young man to lose control of his motorcycle.
If the investigation determines a mechanical failure of some sort, his family should contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to see if they can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the motorcycle or whatever equipment failed him. They may be entitled to compensation for their tragic loss plus any expenses incurred.

California Highway Patrol responded to a call early the other morning – a 25-year old Fontana man was found on the road and a few minutes later he was hit by a vehicle and injured.
Apparently he had been involved in an earlier vehicle accident and had walked away from his vehicle. He was still on the road when a second vehicle hit him at a speed of between 75 and 100 mph.
Paramedics took him to a local hospital with major injuries. I hope he contacts an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the accident for him and determine if he is entitled to compensation for his injuries and expenses.

Now that the warm weather is on its way, more and more people will be taking their boats out for a relaxing day on the lake – perhaps Big Bear Lake. Others, because of the economy and high gas prices, will remain at home.
California has the third highest number of registered boats in the United States. This is not surprising since California has approximately ten thousand miles of shoreline. Statistics show that a substantial number of boating accidents, including injuries and fatalities happened in the Inland Empire – more than 60%.
Even though the operator of the boat is responsible for his or her actions, the most common cause of boating accidents is operator negligence. Not paying attention or unsafe speeds can lead to accidents with other boats or even individuals on jet skis or wave runners – not to mention swimmers. In addition, alcohol is a common cause of boating fatalities.
If you are injured due to the negligence of a boat operator, you may be able to file a claim against the operator for your injuries and/or damages. Contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to see if you can seek financial recovery.

San Bernardino Sheriff Deputies were led on a motorcycle chase over the weekend after discovering the motorcycle had been stolen in Loma Linda two months ago.
Two San Bernardino men, ages 29 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property. The 29-year old was held on suspicion of felony evading.
The 29-year old driver who was riding at speeds of 60 mph ran stop signs and red lights.
The driver left the motorcycle on a street and both men ran; they were caught by deputies soon after.
It was a miracle that no one was injured during this chase. If you are injured by a motorcycle driving at high speeds, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the incident for you and determine if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, damages and expenses.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department deputies discovered two women, ages 24 and 20, asleep in a vehicle in a turnout on Highway 138 early the other morning.
Upon investigating, the deputies discovered the vehicle had been stolen. When the deputies began questioning the women, the driver drove away at speeds as high as 100mph. The speed stopped when she crashed into another vehicle, injuring the driver.
When deputies tried to apprehend the driver, she tried once again to drive away; the deputy used the patrol car to pin her vehicle against a fence. The driver then fled into the desert where the deputies could not find her.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show that 1/3 of those killed in high-speed police chases are innocent bystanders. In addition, close to 500 people are killed every year during police pursuits.
The passenger and the other driver were taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
If you have been injured in an accident as a result of a high-speed chase, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has dealt in these types of cases before.

A 60-year old bicyclist died two weeks after being hit by a vehicle in Ontario. The man was attempting to cross a major intersection when a Volkswagen struck him.
The police are investigating to determine who was at fault. They are checking to see if the driver of the vehicle was negligent in any way, such as driving under the influence or speeding. California Highway Patrol records show that a few years ago, 27 people were injured in bike accidents in Ontario and bike accidents claimed the lives of eight people in San Bernardino County.
California Vehicle Code Section 21650 states, “Upon all highways a vehicle shall be driven upon the right half of the roadway.” According to Subsection (g), “This section does not prohibit the operation of bicycles on any shoulder or a highway, on any sidewalk, on any bicycle path within a highway, or along any crosswalk or bicycle path crossing, where the operation is not otherwise prohibited by this code or local ordinance.”
I would suggest that the family of the bicyclist contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to discuss their options. If the auto driver is found to be at fault, he or she could be liable for the man’s wrongful death and your attorney will make sure he or she is held accountable. The family may be liable for compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs and any costs associated with the death.
