A motorcyclist on the road faces increased risk levels when driving. Motorcyclists are relatively unprotected in the case of an accident versus a driver in an automobile. Many vehicle drivers do not always yield the right of way to a motorcycle.
According to Victorville Sheriff’s officials, a 65-year old motorcyclist was killed after he was hit by a pickup truck the other evening. The fatal accident occurred when the pickup truck pulled out in front of the motorcycle to make a left-hand turn. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
While there are many accidents caused by a motorcycle rider, there are many that are caused by other drivers. Motorcyclists often sustain severe injuries, including death – such as this motorcyclist.
The San Bernardino Major Accident Investigation Team is looking into why this fatal accident happened.
It would be wise for the family of this 65-year old man to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney in order to determine if they can file a wrongful death lawsuit and be compensated for their loss, including expenses, pain and suffering and emotional damages.

A 37-year old woman died the other morning when a driver of a big-rig tractor trailer, for unknown reasons, collided with the mountainside as he approached a curve in the road, causing the trailer’s gravel box to separate from the trailer frame. The box came to a stop on the opposite side of the road, hitting an SUV driven by the 37-year old woman.
The big-rig driver was not injured; however, the woman in the SUV was taken to a nearby hospital where she died from her injuries. Her 16-year old daughter, who was a passenger in the SUV, was injured and taken to another hospital for treatment.
California Highway Patrol officials are investigating the accident to determine the cause.
They are checking a number of possible causes which include speeding, road conditions, falling asleep at the wheel or just plain negligence on his part.
It would be wise for the family of the victim to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney regarding her legal rights and the possibility of filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

A 32-year old San Bernardino man lost control of his vehicle the other morning on Interstate 15 in Hesperia, causing it to drift into the center divider then cross several lanes – it ended up crashing into a big-rig. According to reports, the driver was speeding.

Most people are taught at a very early age to look both ways before crossing the street.
Still, many accidents happen between an automobile and a person on foot. When this happens, the victim has absolutely no protection and absorbs the full impact of the collision.
As a result, a pedestrian accident can be very devastating, leading to life-altering injuries or death.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, approximately 5,000 pedestrians die in motor vehicle accidents every year in the United States. In addition, more than 70,000 pedestrians endure severe injuries when struck by an automobile.
If you have sustained injuries while crossing the road on foot, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will protect your rights and have your best interests in mind.

A wrongful death happens because of another person’s negligence or actions. A wrongful death lawsuit is a claim against that person who may be liable for the death.
Most cases are filed by a close relative. California law provides for financial damages to be recovered. These include all financial support, past and future, provided by the decedent before death, funeral and burial expenses. Non-economic damages, such as the loss of your loved one’s companionship, love and affection can also be recovered.
If you have lost a family member because of someone else’s actions, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney regarding your options.
Depending on the nature of the case, California law states that a wrongful death action must be filed within two years of the date of the death – other time periods apply to other cases. Your attorney will know how long you have to file.

Mistakes are sometimes made when there is a misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, medication error, and infections arising after surgery, a birth injury and being sent home too soon – to name just a few examples.
It is not easy to prove malpractice and suing your doctor is not an easy process.
If you suffered serious complications because of medical negligence, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has successfully represented victims in medical malpractice cases by negotiating settlements for injury, expenses and pain and suffering.
