On the night of July 11, 49-year old man was riding his motorcycle on Interstate 10 near Highland Springs Avenue when traffic came to an abrupt stop. The man’s motorcycle skidded and swerved as he tried to stop, but he lost control and crashed – throwing him onto the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet that covered his face.
Banning police are investigating this accident to determine what caused the man to lose control of his motorcycle. A number of factors are being investigated, which include a mechanical malfunction, something in the road and drugs or alcohol.
Statistics from 2008 indicate that 32 people died and about 600 people were injured from motorcycle accidents in Riverside County. My condolences go out to the family of the man for their tragic loss. I would advise them to contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney so he or she can investigate the accident and advise them of their legal rights and how to proceed.

Thousand Palms was the scene of a chemical spill recently which left two individuals with injuries, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. A residential pool cleaning vehicle crashed early the other morning, spilling about 35 gallons of chemicals on the road.
The California Highway Patrol closed all lanes of Varner Road for several hours so a hazmat team could clean up the spill. The accident is under investigation. I would suggest that the two injured people seek the advice of an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to make sure they are compensated for their injuries and expenses that occurred because of this accident.

The Press Enterprise recently reported that a Hemet police officer, age 30, was involved in a hit-and-run accident where he suffered severe injuries. Officers believe the accident was caused by a female drunk driver in a Honda Accord. Witnesses said that the other driver ran a red light, causing the police officer and himself to crash into a third vehicle already at the light.
After the collision, the female fled on foot, leaving the officer trapped inside the police car. He was later taken to a nearby hospital where he was in serious condition. The 32-year old woman, was later arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing injuries. She violated several California laws by driving under the influence, driving through a red light and then leaving the scene of an accident.
I hope the officer recovers soon. I urge him to consult with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to make sure his rights are protected.

According to The Press Enterprise, a 29-year old woman, was killed in Hemet when a minivan, driven by 43-year old man, crashed into her head-on. Internal injuries caused her to die at the scene. The driver of the minivan had three small children, ages, 4, 3 and 1 in his vehicle– they were not injured.
California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident to see what caused the man to crash into the woman. They are checking to see if he was distracted by his children or if alcohol or drugs played a part in the accident. If the man is found to be at fault, he could face criminal charges for the woman’s wrongful death.
My sympathies go out to the family of the woman on their tragic loss. I would suggest the woman’s family contact an experienced Criminal Law Attorney who will investigate the accident for them and make sure the negligent party is held responsible for their loss.

Recently I heard from someone who was bitten by a dog. She wanted to know if she needed an attorney. I told her yes. An attorney can make the situation less stressful and more efficient; they know what to say and what not to say. A good attorney can handle the case with the dog owner’s insurance company and get the claim resolved without going to court – most of the time.
An experienced attorney can evaluate your claim and determine compensation for you, which includes any lost time from work, especially if you are injured and out for a substantial amount of time. Retaining an attorney early in the process is the key to a better settlement for you – it ensures that the claim will be handled quickly and in an efficient manner.

A 45-year old man, ended the lives of an elderly couple (from Yucaipa) last year in Palm Springs by crashing into their car. The couple died from injuries sustained when the crash took place. The man was booked into the Banning Jail on charges stemming from the accident.
Last week, the man was charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter. It is said that the elderly couple were in Palm Springs to watch a cap to a nuclear reactor roll through the valley on a semi-truck.
I feel so sad for the family of the elderly couple.
