An SUV driver making a dangerous U-turn at a blind corner in Temecula’s wine country caused a motorcyclist to skid, crash into the back of the SUV, and suffer scrapes and bruises on his arms and torso.
The SUV driver left the scene while the motorcyclist was down on the road. Officers later found him and questioned him. It is not clear if he was arrested. Leaving the scene of an injury accident is against the law according to California Vehicle Code Section 20001(a) – “The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.”
In addition - California Vehicle Code Section 21801(a) states, The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left or to complete a U-turn upon a highway, or to turn left into public or private property, or an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching form the opposite direction which are close enough to constitute a hazard at any time during the turning movement, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to the approaching vehicles until the left turn or U-turn can be made with reasonable safety.”
If you are injured by the negligent actions of another person, it would be wise to contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who will make sure your legal rights are protected.

According to the Riverside County Coroner’s office, the year ended fatally for a 34-year old man when he crashed his motorcycle near Lake Elsinore recently.
Motorcycle riders are exposed to the possibility of great bodily harm or death when a motorcycle collision occurs.
Apparently he hit the gas pedal too hard, causing his two friends riding behind him to lose sight of him. An off-duty firefighter saw him lose control as he drove on a sweeping curve and go over an embankment. The sudden move caused him to be thrown from his motorcycle as it struck a tree stump.
He was taken to a local hospital where he died shortly after. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident, contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who knows how to best represent and protect your interests – who can help you obtain compensation for your losses.

Riverside County is a bustling area with a lot of car, truck and motorcycle traffic. When a motorcycle accident occurs, there is a high risk of serious injury or death to the motorcyclist.
With the high prices of gasoline today, more and more motorists are turning to motorcycles as their means of transportation to and from work or school. Accidents happen on a regular basis - serious bodily injuries can happen. Injuries include head injuries, broken bones, fractures, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and internal injuries.
Many of these tragic accidents happen because a motorist did not see the motorcyclist.
Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents happen with another vehicle, many happening at an intersection. Motorcycle accidents not only bring severe injuries, but they also bring medical expenses, possible lost wages and a lot of pain and suffering.
If you are injured as a result of another person’s actions, you should speak to an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney to determine if you are entitled to a financial settlement to enable you to move forward with your life.
