A night that started out partying and having fun ended when a gang member allegedly stabbed a man and then drove into him and three other people according to the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department. The alleged attacker, who is only 22, is being held for attempted murder.
People at the party said the alleged attacker got into an argument with the person giving the party. The two men went into the parking lot and became physical. The attacker took out a knife and stabbed the victim at least three times, puncturing the man’s lung. Afterwards the attacker got into his vehicle, intentionally drove into the victim, and then hit three other people in the parking lot, according to witnesses at the scene. The victim was flown to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton; the other three victims were treated for minor injuries.

Have you ever been walking along and trip on absolutely nothing? You look around but there is nothing on the ground. I do not know anyone who has not done that at one time or another. However, if you fall because of the negligence of another person, that can be the basis for a slip and fall claim.
A slip and fall injury claim is not easy to prove; it is complicated and complex. For example, if you fall in a grocery store, you must show that the owner of the store knew about the condition and did nothing to fix it.
An experienced Slip and Fall injury attorney, one that knows all about slip and fall accidents, gets the job done – knows how to negotiate settlements with the insurance company.

Even though the worldwide web provides more information than ever before, it also provides an opportunity for crime against unsuspecting individuals – including children.
Children who are not monitored while on their computers are exposed to an abundance of potentially risky and harmful activities. Children are exposed to strangers on their computers. We use caution with whom our children play with; we need to use caution with whom our children talk to on the computer. We need to make sure they do not have access to pornography, violent images and especially pedophiles.
California District Attorney Offices everywhere are committed to protecting children from becoming an online victim and from becoming involved in illegal Internet activities. The goal is to reduce the risks of children becoming exploited and/or abducted by Internet predators. The Internet should be a good experience, a learning experience and a place to get helpful information.
There are serious penalties for using the Internet to commit a crime, which include prison. Keep your children safe – monitor their activities.

There are close to five million dog bite victims in the United States every year. Statistics show that about one thousand individuals are treated for dog bites every day. Some of these bites prove to be fatal and most victims are children who are bitten in the face. There are thousands of facial injuries reported every year because of dog bites. The dog usually targets the lips, nose and cheeks.
Pit bulls and Rottweilers seem to be the most dangerous dogs out there today. It has been shown that any dog trained to attack will probably bite someone. When a dog becomes dangerous, it is usually the fault of the owner. Even though a dog has the reputation of being dangerous, the dog can be a loving pet – treat a dog well and it will love you – no matter what the breed is.

The definition of hit and run is the crime of failing to stop, identify oneself and exchange the necessary information after a vehicular collision. A hit and run may carry criminal charges depending on the damages and injuries. It is the responsibility of every driver to stop when involved in an accident with a pedestrian, a vehicle or someone’s property – according to the California Hit and Run Law.
If you damage a parked vehicle or property and cannot locate the owner, California law requires you to leave a note on the damaged property. You must include your name, telephone number and facts about the accident. You must also file a police report.
A hit and run is usually considered a misdemeanor. This is when there are minimal damage and no injuries. A misdemeanor penalty may carry six months in a county jail, fines and/or victim restitution. When there is serious bodily injury or death, a felony charge is issued. Penalties for a felony charge include several years in prison, thousands of dollars in fines, DMV points and/or license suspension.
If you were charged with a Hit and Run crime, I would urge you to consult an experienced Criminal Defense attorney. If this is your first offense, a good attorney can help you to stay out of jail.

Most pets are like family. What happens when a person dies and there is a pet left behind? It is important to make provisions for your pet; they cannot take care of themselves after you are gone. The following are helpful hints to make sure your trusted furry friend is safe, cared for and loved.
· Make sure you give your house keys to family members or friends
· Give them a copy of feeding instructions, your pet’s veterinarian and everything pertaining to your pet
· Carry a pet alert card next to your emergency information card (names of emergency caregivers)
· Provide for your pet in your will – name a beneficiary after discussing with that person
· Set up a trust for your pet
According to the law, a pet owner cannot leave his or her estate outright to an animal. You can leave money to the person designated to care for your pet. It is important to leave your pet to someone you can trust, someone who will love your pet almost as much as you did.

A relative, a domestic partner or person who depended on the victim for support can file a California wrongful death lawsuit.
A wrongful death is a result of an individual’s negligence or carelessness. The death occurs from an accident (i.e. automobile or motorcycle), a fall in a store or sidewalk, medical malpractice or an industrial-type accident.
A qualified Personal Injury attorney can explain your options to you.

For those of you who do not know what probate means, let me explain. Probate is a legal process when the court transfers a deceased person’s assets to his or her beneficiaries – those listed in the Will.
The executor of the Will begins the process of probate after the individual has died by filing a court petition. The executor pays all debts and takes charge of all assets and property. If there is no Will, a relative can start the process and the court will appoint an administrator to handle the estate. The court makes sure the executor or administrator handles everything correctly, protecting the beneficiaries’ interests.
Probate may be more expensive than handling matters under a living trust. A good Estate Planning Attorney can review all the choices available. The probate process usually takes longer than a living trust process.

California Penal Code 647(f) - Drunk in public” or “Drunk and Disorderly”, is a misdemeanor crime in Riverside and surrounding counties. It is illegal to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a controlled substance in public when an individual cannot exercise sufficient care for his or her own safety by falling down or passing out on the street, or making a nuisance of his or herself.
A public place is outside of a home. Examples include public streets, shopping mall, restaurant or Movie Theater – to name a few.
An individual convicted of this crime can face up to 6 months of jail time for a first-time offense, probation, alcohol treatment programs, and/or fines. The conviction will also become part of the individual’s permanent record. I would suggest anyone arrested for this type of crime to consult an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney immediately.
