A woman travelling on Interstate 10 in Rialto early in the morning was seriously injured when her vehicle collided with a fire truck parked alongside the freeway – trapping her inside her car.
According to a San Bernardino County Fire Department spokeswoman, the firefighters were returning to their vehicle when a female driver struck the back of the fire truck, causing her vehicle to become entrapped under the truck. The firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the woman; the four firefighters were not injured. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
California Highway Patrol officers are investigating to determine what caused the woman to crash into the fire truck.
It would be wise for the woman to seek the advice of an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to discuss her rights and options.

Two motorcyclists and the driver of an SUV recently suffered major injuries when they crashed in Running Springs.
According to the California Highway Patrol officers, the two motorcyclists were riding closely to each other when an SUV going in the opposite direction, crossed the double yellow line into their path. The first motorcyclist struck the front of the SUV, throwing him from his bike. The same happened to the second motorcyclist. The three victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of their injuries.
According to California Vehicle Code Section 21651(a), “Whenever a highway has been divided into two or more roadways by means of intermittent barriers or by means of a dividing section of not less than two feet in width, either unpaved or delineated by curbs, double-parallel lines, or other markings on the roadway, it is unlawful to drive any vehicle over, upon, or across the dividing section.”
The accident is under investigation and it is not clear if any charges will be filed. Officers will look into whether the SUV driver was distracted, under the influence, speeding or something else. If it is determined that he was at-fault, he could be held liable for the injuries and medical expenses of the two motorcyclists.
If you are the victim of a negligent driver’s actions, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate your case to determine if you can seek compensation for your injuries, expenses, and pain and suffering.

When an individual is involved in an accident, it is without a doubt that they look to the at-fault driver who caused the accident for recovery of damages and expenses.
Were you injured in an automobile accident where the at-fault driver did not have auto insurance? Or, were you injured in an automobile accident where the at-fault driver did not have enough insurance coverage to compensate you for your injuries?
If this is the case, do not get alarmed. You may still have an avenue of recovery through your own insurance policy. Your policy may have uninsured and/or underinsured motorist provisions. If you do, it can pay for injuries to you and any passengers.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident and the at-fault driver did not have adequate insurance, you can still recover for your losses. Contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will be able to leverage his or her experience into obtaining the full compensation you deserve.

The San Bernardino County Coroner’s office reported that two young children, ages 15 and 6 were killed in an accident near the Nevada state line over the weekend.
According to witnesses, the SUV they were riding in swerved off the road, causing the vehicle to flip several times and land on its wheels about 200 feet from Interstate 15. They were pronounced dead at the scene. The parents were taken by air to a medical center in Las Vegas, where they lived.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating to determine what caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle, killing his children. If the investigation determines that there was a malfunction of one of the SUV parts, the parents may be entitled to compensation for their tragic loss.
I hope they contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who is successful in product liability cases and who will investigate their case to see if they are entitled to compensation for their tragic loss.

The weekend did not end well for one San Bernardino driver who backed into a fuel pump at a gasoline station. He not only ignited a gas station fire that incinerated his car and the gas pump, but he left his burning car near the station and fled the scene.
Once fire crews got there, they activated an emergency shut-off value that prevented the flames from spreading any further. The man walked to his home which was a little over a mile away. His family called paramedics to treat an injury he suffered to his leg.
The accident is under investigation to determine why this happened and the cost of the damages. The man has not been arrested as yet but he could face criminal hit-and-run charges.
If your property is damaged by a hit-and-run driver, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate your case and determine if you are entitled to compensation for the damages incurred.

If you are driving a light truck, this may concern you.
Multistrada Arah Sarana is recalling more than 36,000 16-inch light truck tires sold under the name of Archilles Desert Hawk and Radar Radial RLT-9, because of sidewall defects that can cause the tire to lose air. If this occurs, the risk of crashing is increased.
The Radar tires have a defective sidewall design that can cause tread separation to occur.
According to reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the tires could lose air suddenly, without any warning.
If you own these tires and have suffered injuries because of them, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product liability cases and will advise you of your legal options and rights.

A 20-year old pickup truck driver died the other morning in Fontana when a rear-end collision caused him to slam into a big-rig truck.
A rear-end collision usually occurs when the lead car suddenly stops and the back car does not have enough time to stop in order to avoid hitting the first car.
Police are investigating to determine what caused this fatal accident. It would be wise for the family of the victim to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to determine if they can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In most cases, the driver who does the rear-ending is to blame.
