Often times, people dismiss the severity of a bicycle accident. However, bicycle accidents have the potential to be fatal especially to the elderly. When a bicycle strikes a person its wheels are usually positioned to take out a person’s legs. This causes both the bicyclist and pedestrian to fall on the ground. Unfortunately in some cases, the pedestrian might hit his or her head on the ground while falling and be severely injured. In a recent accident, a 70 year old woman was killed when a teenage bicyclist struck her.

The accident happened around 7:00 a.m in the area of Pacific Palisades. The 70 year old woman was crossing the street when it happened. Authorities are investigating if the woman suffered fatal injuries when she was struck by the bicycle or when she fell to the ground. Unfortunately, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Motorcycles are one of the most dangerous vehicles to drive. One reason why motorcycles are so dangerous is because they provide no protection when they are involved in an accident. Another reason why motorcycles are dangerous is because of their small size. It is very hard for other drivers to see a motorcycle when doing a lane change because motorcycles aren’t always visible in the rear view or side view mirrors. In a recent accident, a motorcyclist was knocked to the ground due to a traffic collision.

The accident happened at Mcfadden Rd. After the motorcyclist was knocked to the ground, he was then struck by another car. Unfortunately, the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

Airbags are probably the most important feature in a car. Upon impact they protect the driver and their passenger’s vital points and lessen the shock that comes from the crash. For these reasons, it is a lot safer to travel in airbag fitted cars rather than vehicles with no airbags. Recently, there has been news that Nissan will recall 204, 361 vehicles because there is a possibility that the passenger side airbag will not deploy in the case of an accident.

This voluntary recall will cover 2007 and 2008 Nissan Altima, Altima Coupe, 350Z, Murano, and Rogue. Also, some Infiniti cars such as the G35 sedan, G37 Coupe and EX35 (built from March 12, 2007 to May 27, 2008) will be subject to a voluntary recall. This recall came into action because Nissan received several warranty reports of airbag warning lamps flashing. Recently, Nissan determined that a safety related defect existed in those cars and believes less than one percent of the vehicles contain the defect. Nissan plans to test the vehicles and replace the hardware if necessary during the recall.

Trucks are one of the most lethal vehicles on the road. Due to its sheer size and weight, trucks have the potential to cause major accidents. The drivers of these trucks always have to be very careful because of their blind spots. A truck’s blind spot is much bigger compared to a regular car’s because of the truck’s size. The driver of a truck is also seated much higher compared to a driver of a sedan and it is very hard for them to see blind spots that are close to the road. In a recent accident, a man was run over by a dump trunk at a construction site.

The accident happened around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Occidental Blvd. and Hoover St. in the Westlake District of Los Angeles. Authorities are investigating if the man that was run over was a construction worker or just a bystander. Unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

In many cases drunk drivers are often swerving on the road. This action could also cause a lot of accidents because they are not staying in there own lanes. Furthermore, drunk drivers are prone to hit objects and pedestrians because they can not stop in time. In a recent accident, a suspected drunk driver hit a woman while she was jogging.

The accident happened around 6:30 AM on the border of Thousand Oaks and Oak Park. The drunk driver was traveling at a high rate of speed and in addition to hitting the woman jogger also crashed into a tree, water line, and several utility boxes.

Although many accidents happen, almost none are more deadly than the ones on the freeway. There are many factors why freeway accidents are often fatal. A vehicle’s high rate of speed and the various vehicles that travel on the freeway are some of the factors that make freeway accidents fatal. From big rigs to small cars, all sorts of vehicles travel on the freeway. However, big vehicles such as SUV’s and big rigs might cause big accidents because of their size and weight. These vehicles often hinder a smaller vehicle’s vision and make them unaware what is going on in front of them. Also, since they are so vast, it is easier for them to lose their balance. In a recent accident, a woman lost control of her SUV on the freeway and landed in a backyard.

The accident happened around 9:18 PM in the city of Lakeview Terrace. After the woman went off the side of the freeway, the SUV went into someone’s residence. The vehicle came to a rest upside down against a fence. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported.

Many things can go wrong while crossing a street. A car may not see a pedestrian and strike him or her. On the other hand, a pedestrian might not see a car and might get struck by a car. Getting into a car – pedestrian accident can often be fatal for the pedestrian because they have no protection. A car traveling at even the lowest of speeds can severely injure a pedestrian due to the vehicle’s weight. In a recent accident, a fifteen year old boy was struck by a car while he was crossing a street.

The accident happened around 5 PM in Woodland Hills. After the driver hit the pedestrian, she struck a Buick Century. The force of the impact caused the Buick to crash into a Lexus. Unfortunately, both the driver that struck the pedestrian and the pedestrian himself were dead. The pedestrian was declared dead at the scene while the driver was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Driving at a high rate of speed can be very dangerous for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons why it can be so dangerous is because the driver of the speeding car has less time to react. Whether it is pedestrians or just plain roadblocks in the way, a driver traveling at a high rate of speed can not effectively stop in time. Another reason why speeding is often dangerous is because when a car tries to make a turn while traveling at an excessive speed, the vehicle might lose its balance and flip over. In a recent accident, a man who was traveling at a high rate of speed struck the curb and then crashed into a tree.

The accident happened around 10:35 PM in Irwindale. The driver of the vehicle was traveling at a high speed when he struck the curb. Once he struck the curb, his vehicle spun around and crashed into a tree. Unfortunately, the driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene.

A wrongful death claim alleges that a person was killed as a result of the negligence of the defendant. The surviving dependants of the person that was killed are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the negligence of the defendant. This kind of claim is a civil action.

Wrongful death claims are different from normal negligence lawsuits because the claim is filed by families or close relatives rather than the person that is injured. Although different states have different wrongful death statutes, they generally follow the same general principles.

A wrongful death claim usually consists of four elements. The first element is that the death was caused, in whole or in part, by the conduct of the defendant. The second element is that the defendant was negligent or strictly liable for the decedent’s death. The third element is that there is a surviving spouse, children, or beneficiaries and the fourth element is that monetary damages have resulted from the victim’s death. Typically, in the United States the standard of proof for a wrongful death claim is preponderance of the evidence. This is different from clear and convincing.

If you believe that you have a valid wrongful death claim, please call us now at the law office of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) and get your free consultation from one of our experienced attorneys.

Freeways are one of the worst places to have an accident since cars are going at extremely fast speeds and drivers on freeways have limited visibility and control of their vehicles. Also, when one gets into an accident on a freeway it is almost impossible to move your car safely to the side of the road due to the traffic. In a recent freeway accident, a woman driver was killed and a person trying to aid the driver was also injured.

The accident happened in the morning on the 210 freeway. A woman driver lost control of her vehicle and collided with the center divider. Another driver rushed to her help but a utility truck struck the woman driver’s car and sent it to the carpool lane. Then a pickup truck who was trying to avoid the utility truck broadsided the woman driver’s car and hit the driver who was trying to help. Unfortunately, the woman driver was declared dead and the driver who was trying to help suffered injuries.

There are many things that can go wrong while driving a car. In addition to the daily hazards on the road, people can get heart attacks or even suffer seizures. When one gets a heart attack while driving, he or she has no control over their vehicle. They cannot brake or even veer off to safety and they have absolutely no control over what they are doing. Many accidents happen this way. In a recent accident, a woman had a seizure while driving her SUV and crashed into a gas pump.

The accident happened near Agoura Hills. Fortunately, an off duty firefighter was nearby and dragged the driver out of the driver’s seat. If there was no one there, the driver would have suffered major burn injuries.
