<p>Cristobal Juarez-Mendoza, 44, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">Riverside car accident</a> after his minivan collided head-on with a dump truck. According to a news report in The Press Enterprise, the fatal truck accident occurred along Rancho California Road in Del Luz near Temecula, the afternoon of October 4, 2011. Officials say Juarez-Mendoza was driving north in a 1992 Toyota minivan when one of the minivan's rear tires failed. Juarez-Mendoza lost control of his vehicle and entered into the path of a Peterbilt dump truck hauling a trailer. Juarez-Mendoza had to be extricated from the minivan and did not survive. The driver of the dump truck, Ronald Utaski of Temecula, and his passenger were not injured in the crash.</p>
<p><span id="more-2148"></span>My heart goes out to the friends and family of Cristobal Juarez-Mendoza following this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/truck-accident-lawyers/" target="_blank">truck accident</a>. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.</p>
<p><strong>Riverside Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 79 people were killed and 2,249 were injured as a result of car accidents in the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. During that same year, there were 203 fatalities and 7,974 injuries reported due to car accidents in Riverside County.</p>
<p><strong>Causes and Compensation Issues</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, officials say that the crash was the result of a blown rear tire on Juarez-Mendoza's minivan. It is unclear at this time if the tire blew out because of poor maintenance or if this was the result of a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/car-safety-defects/tire-defects.html" target="_blank">tire defect</a>. A tire blowout that occurs while driving almost always results in a serious injury crash. Once the tire fails, it may be very difficult for a driver to regain control of the vehicle.</p>
<p>If this accident was the result of tire defect, then the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective tire can be held liable. In cases where negligence or wrongdoing is involved, the family of a deceased victim can file a wrongful death claim seeking medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, loss of companionship, and other related damages. It would be in the best interests of the victim's family to preserve the vehicle in its current condition unaltered so an expert can examine it thoroughly for defects, malfunctions and other evidence. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Riverside personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to advise victims and their families in such cases about their legal rights and options.</p>

<p>A male driver identified as 40-year-old Lewis Stokes and his unidentified male passenger died in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">San Bernardino car accident</a> after the vehicle they were in went out of control and rolled over. According to a news report in The San Bernardino County Sun, the fatal rollover accident occurred the afternoon of April 2, 2011 on the northbound 15 Freeway near Main Street in Hesperia. Officials say Stokes lost control of the Kia Sedona he was driving. The vehicle rolled several times. Stokes was partially ejected from the vehicle, while his passenger was completely ejected. Both died at the scene. An investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p>I offer my heartfelt sympathies to the families of Stokes and his passenger for their tremendous loss. Please keep these grieving families in your thoughts and prayers.<span id="more-1629"></span></p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were 10 fatalities and 300 injuries involving car accidents in Hesperia. In San Bernardino County as a whole, 263 people died and 8,504 were injured as a result of car accidents during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Fatal Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not entirely clear how or why this fatal <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/rollover-accidents/" target="_blank">rollover accident</a> occurred. There are several unanswered questions here. </p>
<p>Was driver error a factor in this crash? Was Stokes impaired, speeding or distracted at the time? Was there a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction in the Kia? Was another vehicle involved? For example, was the Kia run off the roadway by another vehicle? Why were the men ejected? Were they not wearing their seatbelts or were they ejected because of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective-seatbelts/" target="_blank">defective seatbelts</a> in the vehicle? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine how or why this fatal car accident occurred.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong>  </p>
<p>In such cases, it is important to preserve the vehicle in its current crashed condition so it can be examined thoroughly by an expert for evidence of auto defects, design flaws and other malfunctions. If this accident and fatal injuries were caused by a vehicle defect or a defective seat restraint system, the auto maker can be held liable for the wrongful deaths of the two victims. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">San Bernardino personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to analyze all aspects of the incident and ensure that the negligent parties are held accountable.</p>

<p>A male driver and a female passenger were injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a> when the vehicle they were in crashed into two parked cars. According to a news report in The Daily Breeze, the injury car accident occurred the early morning of March 29, 2011 on Narbonne Avenue near the Pacific Coast Highway in Lomita. Both injured victims were hospitalized following the accident. It is unclear what caused this accident. An investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the injured victims of this Los Angeles car accident. I wish them both a complete and speedy recovery.<span id="more-1616"></span></p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles Car Accident Statistics</strong> </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities, but 77 injuries reported as a result of car accidents in Lomita. During the same year, there were 667 fatalities and 52,229 injuries reported involving car accidents in Los Angeles County.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not clear how or why this car accident occurred. There are several unanswered questions here. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the vehicle, which caused the driver to lose control? Was alcohol or drugs a factor in this crash? Was the driver fatigued or did he fall asleep? Did distracted driving play a part? Was the driver speeding? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine precisely what occurred here.  </p>
<p><strong>Fault and Liability</strong></p>
<p>If the driver in this case is determined to have been at fault, then his passenger could claim damages for the injuries and damages sustained. Injured victims in such cases can seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation and other related damages. If an auto defect contributed to this accident, then the injured victims can file an auto products liability claim against the auto maker. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a> will analyze all aspects of the incident and ensure that the negligent parties are held liable.

<p>California Highway Patrol Officer Stephanie Hamilton was injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">Riverside car accident</a> when a 2008 Toyota SUV struck her patrol vehicle. According to KESQ, the injury car crash occurred on Harrison Street near Avenue 66 in Thermal the morning of March 17, 2011. Hamilton had finished a traffic stop when the SUV, driven by 34-year-old Linda Dominguez, drifted across the roadway and struck Hamilton's patrol car. Both women suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the collision. Investigators are looking into the cause of this car accident.</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the injured victim of this accident, CHP Officer Stephanie Hamilton. I wish her a complete and speedy recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Riverside County Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 121 people were killed and 2,615 were injured in car accidents in the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. During the same year, there were 220 fatalities and 8,561 injuries reported as a result of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accidents</a> in Riverside County.<span id="more-1597"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>It appears that the SUV drifted across the roadway before striking the patrol car. According to <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-vehicle-code.html" target="_blank">California Vehicle Code</a> 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."</p>
<p>There are still several unanswered questions here. Was Dominguez under the influence at the time? Did she fall asleep at the wheel? Was she distracted or inattentive at the time? Was there some type of vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction in the SUV that led to this injury accident? </p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>If Dominguez is determined to have been at fault, she could be held liable for the injuries caused to the officer. Officer Hamilton will also be eligible to receive workers compensation benefits because she was injured on the job. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Riverside personal injury lawyer</a> in such cases will be able to better advise injured victims about their legal rights and options. The best personal injury law firms will always offer a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation to car accident victims and their families.</p>

<p>Teresa Sedillo, 64, was killed and Jose Gonzalez and Michael Basilio were injured in a Yolo County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accident</a> the morning of February 28, 2011. According to a news report in The Daily Democrat, the fatal car accident occurred on Highway 113 in Davis. California Highway Patrol officials say that for unknown reasons, Sedillo caused the three-car accident by driving the wrong way on the highway. Sedillo was killed, her passenger Jose Gonzalez is in stable condition and 50-year-old Michael Basilio, whose vehicle was struck by Sedillo, is said to be in fair condition. Police believe Sedillo and Gonzalez were not wearing seatbelts. Gonzalez suffered a head injury and Basilio sustained a broken femur, lacerations and contusions.</p>
<p>My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the Teresa Sedillo. My thoughts and prayers are also with the victims of this tragic accident. I wish the injured victims, Gonzalez and Basilio, the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong> </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), one person was killed and 212 were injured in Davis car accidents. During that same year, there were 24 fatalities and 767 injuries reported involving Yolo County car accidents.<span id="more-1553"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Tragic Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, officials are saying that Sedillo drove her vehicle the wrong way on the highway and caused this crash. There are several questions here. What caused Sedillo to drive the wrong way? Was she under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs? Was she disoriented or fatigued at the time? Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in her vehicle that caused her to lose control? I trust officials are looking into these and other factors in order to determine what occurred here and why.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>If it is determined that Sedillo's recklessness, negligence or wrongdoing caused this accident, then the injured victims can file a claim against her estate or liability insurance. Injured victims in such cases can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation and other related damages. If an auto defect caused Sedillo to lose control of her vehicle, then Sedillo's family can file a wrongful death claim against the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective product, which caused the accident. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">California personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to better advise car accident victims and their families about their legal rights and options.</p>

<p>A 35-year-old man was seriously injured in a Ventura County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/motorcycle-accident-lawyers/" target="_blank">motorcycle accident</a> involving a dirt bike on a city street. According to a news report in the Ventura County Star, the injury accident occurred at E. Loop Drive and Mesa Drive in Camarillo the afternoon of January 29, 2011. The victim of this Ventura motorcycle accident sustained major injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. California Highway Patrol officials are investigating this accident.</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the man injured in this dirt bike accident. I wish him a complete and speedy recovery from his injuries.</p>
<p><strong>Motorcycle Accident Statistics</strong> </p>
<p>According to CHP's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 21 people were injured in Camarillo motorcycle accidents. During that same year, there were 11 fatalities and 227 injuries reported as a result of Ventura County motorcycle accidents.<span id="more-1487"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Motorcycle Accident?</strong></p>
<p>It appears from the report that this accident was a solo vehicle crash. If I were a family member of the injured victim here, I would definitely want to know if there was any negligence on someone else's part that led to this injury collision. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the motorcycle, which caused the rider to lose control? Was there a dangerous condition on the roadway, which may have caused this accident?  Did another driver cause the accident and leave the scene of the accident? I trust officials are looking into these and other factors in order to determine who or what precisely caused this major injury accident.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>Victims of Ventura County accidents may pursue financial compensation for their injuries and losses by filing a personal injury claim against the party responsible for the accident. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, time away from work and pain and suffering. A skilled <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/ventura-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Ventura personal injury lawyer</a> can also help determine if a dangerous condition on the roadway caused or contributed to the accident. If that was the case, the city or governmental agency responsible for maintaining the roadway can also be held liable. Under California Government Code Section 911.2, any personal injury claim against a governmental agency must be properly filed within 180 days of the incident.</p>
<p>Seriously injured in a Ventura County car accident?  Want to know if you have a case?  Want to know what your case is worth?  Want compensation for your injuries?  Want justice?  Want to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else?</p>

<p>Robert Decker Sr., 72, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/costa-mesa-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">Costa Mesa car accident</a> after his pickup truck went off the freeway and crashed into a tree. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the fatal car accident occurred the afternoon of January 30, 2011, when Decker's pickup went down the side of the southbound lanes of the 73 Freeway near the 55 Freeway. Decker was trapped in the vehicle. He was extricated and transported to a regional trauma center, where he died from his injuries. Officials are investigating the cause of this fatal car accident.</p>
<p>I offer my deepest condolences to the family members and friends of Robert Decker for their tragic and heartbreaking loss. Please keep this grieving family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were six fatalities and 785 injuries involving Costa Mesa car accidents. During the same year, 152 people died and 13,414 were injured in <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County car accidents</a>.<span id="more-1483"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Fatal Car Accident</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not quite clear how or why this fatal car accident occurred. There are more questions than answers at this time. Was there a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction in the pickup truck that caused Decker to lose control? Was there a dangerous condition on the roadway? Did the driver suffer a medical condition at the time? Were any other vehicles involved in the car accident? For example, was the pickup truck run off the roadway by another driver? I trust officials are looking into these and other factors in order to explain how or why this fatal car accident occurred.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>If an auto product defect is determined to have led to the accident, then the auto maker or manufacturer of the defective product could be held liable. In such cases, it would be a good idea to preserve the vehicle in its current crashed condition so it can be examined by an expert for design flaws, product defects, malfunctions and other evidence. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to better advise families of deceased car accident victims about their legal rights and options. The best personal injury law firms will always offer a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation to injured victims and their families.</p>

<p>Kenneth Emser, 56, was killed in an Orange County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/motorcycle-accident-lawyers/" target="_blank">motorcycle accident</a> when his cycle veered off the road and into a ditch. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the fatal injury accident occurred the afternoon of January 21, 2011 on Santiago Canyon Road near Silverado Canyon Road. Authorities are trying to determine what caused Emser to lose control of his motorcycle. Emser was transported to a local hospital following the accident, but died shortly afterward.</p>
<p>My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Kenneth Emser, the victim of this tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.</p>
<p><strong>Motorcycle Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), three people were killed and 49 were injured in motorcycle accidents in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. During that same year, there were 35 fatalities and 801 injuries as a result of motorcycle accidents in Orange County as a whole.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Fatal Motorcycle Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, police are not sure at this time what caused the rider to lose control of his motorcycle. There are more questions than answers here at this time. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the motorcycle that caused the rider to lose control? Was there a dangerous or defective condition on the roadway that caused Emser to crash? Were there any other vehicles that caused the motorcycle to go off the roadway? For example did another driver run the motorcyclist off the roadway? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine how or why this accident occurred.  </p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>If this motorcycle accident was caused by a defective product, the manufacturer of the defective product can be held accountable. If a dangerous or defective roadway caused this accident, the public entity responsible for maintaining this roadway can also be held liable. In cases where negligence or wrongdoing is involved, the family of a deceased car accident victim can file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for medical and funeral expenses, lost future income, loss of love and companionship, and other related damages. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County personal injury lawyer</a> will advise families of victims in such cases about their legal rights and options. </p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p>One person was injured in an <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County car accident</a> involving an SUV that overturned. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the rollover accident occurred on the Valley View Street onramp to the eastbound 91 freeway in La Palma the morning of January 18, 2011. The Ford Explorer apparently lost its left front wheel and ended up on its roof. The driver complained of pain and has been hospitalized. </p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the injured SUV driver. I wish the driver a complete and speedy recovery from whatever injuries he has sustained.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 77 people were injured in La Palma car accidents. During that same year, there were 152 fatalities and 13,414 injuries reported as a result of Orange County car accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2009 statistics, 35 percent of all traffic accident fatalities in the United States were in <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/suv_accident.html" target="_blank">rollover accidents</a>.<span id="more-1446"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused This SUV Rollover Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not clear what caused this rollover accident. There are several questions here. Was there tire tread separation involved? Was a defective tire involved? Did defective design cause the SUV to overturn? What was the extent of the driver's injuries? Was there a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction in the Ford Explorer, which may have caused or contributed to this accident? Were any other vehicles involved in this accident? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine precisely what occurred here.</p>
<p>It is also important to determine, in these types of accidents, if the vehicle's inherently weak roof design contributed to the victim's injuries. The Ford Explorer SUV has rated poorly in many roof crush studies including one recently done by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, which looked specifically at vehicle roof strength. What this means is that the Explorer's roof is not made strong. So, during a rollover accident, it caves in on its occupants, crushing them. Victims, who are involved in these types of rollover accidents, tend to suffer severe head injuries, traumatic brain injuries or neck and spinal cord injuries.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>In such cases, it would be in the best interests of injured victims to preserve the vehicle in its current, crashed condition so it can be thoroughly examined by an expert for any evidence of design flaws, mechanical malfunctions and product defects. If it is determined that an auto product defect caused the accident and resulting injuries, then the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective product can be held liable. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County personal injury lawyer</a> who has successfully handled SUV rollover cases would be able to advise victims about their legal rights and options.</p>
<p>Seriously injured in an Orange County rollover car accident?  Want to know if you have a case?  Want to know what your case is worth?  Want compensation for your injuries?  Want justice?  Want to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else?</p>

<p>Kye Lean, a 51-year-old Orange County resident, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">San Bernardino car accident</a> after he entered into opposing lanes of traffic and crashed into a utility truck. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the fatal car accident occurred the afternoon of December 8, 2010 on the 138 Freeway. Lean was driving a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck east on the highway when he veered into the westbound lanes at Sheep Creek Bridge in Pinion Hills. Lean's pickup truck collided head-on with a utility truck. Lean died at the scene. It is not clear if the other driver sustained any injuries. An investigation is ongoing.<span id="more-1358"></span></p>
<p>I offer my deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved Kye Lean for the devastating loss they have suffered. Please keep his grieving family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were 107 fatalities and 1,925 injuries reported as a result of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accidents</a> in the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. Also, countywide, car accidents claimed 263 lives and injured 8,504 people during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Possible Car Accident Causes</strong>  </p>
<p>It is not clear from this news report how or why Lean drifted into opposing lanes of traffic. 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."</p>
<p>There are several unanswered questions here. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in Lean's Tacoma, which led to the car accident? Was the accident caused by driver error or inattention? Were there any other vehicles involved? For example, was Lean cut off by another vehicle? Was there a dangerous condition on the roadway? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine how or why this fatal car accident occurred.</p>
