The weekend did not end well for two motorists.
A vehicle on Highway 395 in Adelanto rolled over late the other night. Paramedics took injured passengers by air to nearby hospitals for treatment; one person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The fatal accident is under investigation to determine why the vehicle flipped over. If it is determined that there was a mechanical defect, the occupants may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the vehicle. I suggest they contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney so they can discuss their options and legal rights.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reported that a young woman lost control of her vehicle in Hesperia, rolled over several times and killed the two other young people in the back seat. The car accident happened at 2:00 a.m. One of the passengers died at the scene and the other died at a local hospital. The passenger in the front seat sustained minor injuries and was released from the hospital after being treated. The driver was still in the hospital at the time of this writing.
The accident is under investigation by the Sheriff’s Department – they are not sure if alcohol is involved. If it was, once again – I have to alert you not to drink and drive - it results in disaster and worse.

On October 25, 2009 Robert Hamilton, 37, was killed in a car accident, according to The Press Enterprise. Mr. Hamilton was traveling with a friend, Rick Batiste in Adelanto, when the vehicle went out of control, flipped over and landed on its roof. The auto caught fire. Mr. Batiste was able to be out of the vehicle but Mr. Hamilton was not, and died at the scene. Police are investigating what made the auto go out of control and catch fire.
The California Highway Patrol reported that Adelanto is the scene of several fatalities and numerous injuries from car accidents. In the year 2007, San Bernardino County reported 308 deaths and close to 10,000 injuries involving motor vehicle accidents.
Something caused this vehicle to flip over – perhaps it was a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction. Police report that Mr. Hamilton was not driving recklessly and alcohol did not play a part in the accident. If investigators determine that the accident was because of a product defect, Chevrolet, the manufacturer of the vehicle, could be liable for the accident. The family could check into filing a wrongful death claim for compensation to cover the funeral, lost wages and any expenses resulting. An experienced and aggressive personal injury lawyer can advise them of their legal options.
