Elder abuse is a serious and dangerous crime.
When a person gets older, they are less able to stand up to bullying. Because of this, they are susceptible to being taken advantage of physically, mentally and financially. Thousands and thousands of elders are being abused by someone who takes care of them on a daily basis.
If you have an elderly person in your family who is being taken care of by an outside person or your family member is in a nursing or care facility, look for signs of abuse. Look to see if your loved one’s behavior or personality has changed. Keep your eyes open for bruises, scars, malnutrition, of hygiene problems.
If you suspect someone is being abused, contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who has handled elder abuse cases. No one should be abused and it is important that the abuser be brought to justice.

A 32-year old man was ejected and killed when his Ford Expedition rolled over and crashed on Interstate 10 near Thousand Palms.
Officials are not sure what caused him to lose control although they suspect he was speeding. They are also looking into whether a possible auto defects or malfunction flaw caused the accident. They are asking why he was ejected. Was he wearing a defective seatbelt?
I would suggest that the man’s family contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who can investigate the case for them and determine if they are entitled to compensation for their expenses and loss. Statistics show that Ford SUVs are famous for their instability.

Shoplifting in Riverside County is defined as stealing or theft of goods, products or any kind of retail item with no intention of paying for them. Many people do not realize the serious consequences that could result from a shoplifting conviction.
You can be charged with petty theft or grand theft, depending on the value of the merchandise stolen. Petty theft is usually considered a misdemeanor offense; however, grand theft is considered a federal offense and comes with severe penalties, including jail time.
If you are facing shoplifting charges, contact a Riverside Criminal Law attorney with the experience and skill necessary to have your charges reduced or dismissed – an attorney who has a history of good results and a successful track record.

A 21-year old woman pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter for a drunken driving accident that killed a 51-year old highway worker several months ago in Riverside. She is facing an 18-year prison sentence.
Initially she was charged with six felony charges, including murder, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, DUI causing great bodily injury, hit-and-run, and reckless driving.
Apparently, at the time of the fatal accident, the woman was drinking and driving on a suspended license. She attempted to get onto the Riverside Freeway and used a closed turn lane to enter the ramp, ignoring signs and concrete barriers as workers were moving equipment. She crashed into a loader and concrete barrier before crashing into the 51-year old worker.
She attempted to flee the scene but workers stopped her until the police arrived. The worker remained in critical condition for four days and then died.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious criminal offense. Because DUI laws are complex, it is important that you contact an experienced Riverside Criminal Law attorney who focuses on drunk-driving defense.

A 50-year old man was killed the other evening in Coachella by a hit-and-run driver.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries later on.
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.”
Police are asking anyone with information regarding this fatal accident to contact them. They reported that the vehicle had front headlight, hood and grill damage when it fled the scene. Once this driver is found, he or she will be brought to justice and held accountable for the death.
I hope the family of the victim contacts an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the case and make sure their legal rights are protected

During the Christmas holidays, many children received toys for gifts. Unfortunately, many of those toys will prove to be toxic and/or defective and have the possibility of injuring your child. In addition, many can pose serious choking hazards, hearing damage and lead poisoning, which can result in irreversible brain damage.
Consumer advocates at the U. S. Public Interest Research Group have released a list of toys that can prove to be dangerous and/or defective. They violate Federal safety standards for lead and other hazardous chemicals.
Examples of these dangerous toys include, but are not limited to:
· Sesame Street brand Oscar doll
· Wooden blocks
· Little Hands Love Book
· Whirly wheel by LL
· Disney’s Tinkerbell Watch
If your child received one of these toxic and/or dangerous toys and has shown sign of injury or illness, contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product liability cases and will investigate your case to determine if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and medical expenses.
