In Washington State, a woman who was hit by a Metro van has received $7 million in a settlement with the local county following her lawsuit. The victim was riding her Vespa scooter to work when the public transit van allegedly ran a stop sign and failed to yield her right of way. The impact of the crash sent the woman flying 40 feet. She was in a coma for days after the crash. Her injuries included a severely broken leg with a compound fracture, as well as extensive internal injuries. In addition to the dangerous actions of the county van driver, attorneys also claimed that the intersection where the accident occurred was unsafe.

November 12, 2009

Accidents involving trucks on Southern California highways are an all too frequent occurrence.

If a truck flips over in a wreck, there can be multiple vehicles and occupants who are affected. When a truck crashes, a variety of entities may be at fault including the truck driver, truck owner or leaser, as well as other vehicles on the road or defects with the road itself.

TRUCK ACCIDENT INVOLVING REALITY SHOW RESULTS IN $6.5 MILLION WRONGFUL DEATH SETTLEMENT—BEVERLY HILLS ATTORNEYS CAN HELP YOU TODAY (Part 1 of 2)

October 7, 2009

Did you know that if you are involved in a car accident with a big rig truck, there may be more people who are liable for the accident outside of the driver? In fact, if the accident was a result of the driver’s negligence, the owner of the truck, the owner of the load that the truck is carrying and the driver’s employer may all be responsible for the damages that the accident caused. This is because most drivers are hired to drive these trucks by large corporations, and if the accident happened during the regular course of his employment, then the other owners of the truck may be responsible as well.

In Cook County, Illinois on October 1, 2009, a judge approved a $6.5 million settlement between Kevetta Davis’s family, Viacom, VH-1 Music, 51 Minds Entertainment and truck driver Dennis Hernandez. The accident happened in September 2008 when Hernandez was transporting equipment for the VH-1 TV show “Rock of Love with Brett Michaels” and fell asleep at the wheel. The truck crossed the road and hit the car that Davis was riding in. Hernandez survived, but was cited with driving with a suspended license and other offenses. The settlement occurred relatively quickly in an effort to resolve the issue.

Because the driver had a suspended license but continued driving, it was likely one of the most important elements in the lawsuit. It would probably be the companies’ responsibility to make sure that their drivers were properly licensed before letting them on the road. Do you have a case similar to this that you want to pursue in court? If so, call the attorneys of The Rudman Law Firm, PLC now for a free consultation of your case. You can reach us at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) to speak to one of our knowledgeable attorneys. Check us out at www.alawpro.com to read more about trucking accidents and wrongful death lawsuits.

DRUNK DRIVING CAN RESULT IN TIME IN JAIL AS WELL AS JUDGMENT IN LAWSUIT—SANTA ANA AND OJAI ATTORNEYS MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOUR FAMILY OBTAIN DAMAGES

October 6, 2009

Some people may think that if you have been punished in criminal court for a crime you committed, then you are free from liability in other cases. However, that is not the case in many situations. For example, even with the concept of double jeopardy applied (the right of an individual not to be prosecuted for the same crime twice) the victim of a crime can sue the wrongdoer in civil court for damages sustained in the incident. This can happen even if the wrongdoer was acquitted, or found not guilty of the crime. This is primarily attributed to the fact that these civil lawsuits require negligence or recklessness, and not a higher requirement of action, like intent.

On October 3, 2009, 18 year old Milad Moulayi was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the second degree murder of 16 year old Mackenzie Frazee. Frazee was killed after a party in 2008 when Moulayi insisted on driving her home. Moulayi had drunk several shots of alcohol and was stumbling drunk when he left the party. He had been warned about driving without a license before, but obviously did not heed the warning because he did not have a license at the time of the accident. In another unrelated accident on October 1, 2009, Kim Fullenwider of Ojai was arrested and charged with child endangerment after she was caught drinking and driving a busload of students. The accident occurred when Fullenwider tried to make a U-turn but was hit by a pickup truck.

Drunk%20Driving6.jpg In both of these incidents, the family of the teenage girl and the parents of the children may be able to sue the drivers for their negligence in the incident. However, there are many elements of both cases that would need to be examined by an experienced attorney. For example, because Moulayi was an unlicensed driver, he likely did not have car insurance, so who would foot the bill for a judgment against him in civil court? All of these things hinge on the experience and knowledge of practicing attorneys, like those of The Rudman Law Firm, PLC. We have won over $150 million in verdicts and settlements, so call our office now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free and confidential consultation.

METROLINK TRAIN HITS TRUCK IN OXNARD. WARNING SYSTEM NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO STOP CRASH.

September 2, 2009

Train crashes can happen for various reasons including engineer error, rail system defect, and vehicle or debris mistakenly on railroad tracks. A spate of recent rail crashes appears to have been the fault of the train operators and/or rail system procedure or mechanisms. Learning who is to blame if you have been hurt in a train crash is a complex and difficult process. Whether you have been the passenger on a train, a bystander, or an occupant of a vehicle that has been hit by a rail or train car, you need legal help if you have been involved in a So Cal train crash. Metrolink, Amtrak and Union Pacific are three of the most common rail users in Southern California. Find out more about train crashes and your rights at www.alawpro.com. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO if you’ve been in a CA rail crash now.

Oxnard, Ventura County, is the site of the most recent Metrolink crash. The train hit a truck that was stopped on the tracks after it was in an accident with another vehicle. As firemen attempted to free the truck driver from his vehicle, the train bounded towards the stranded vehicles on the tracks. Calls to warn the oncoming train from dispatchers and rescue officials were unable to stop the train before it hit the truck. Luckily two firefighters pulled the driver, who appeared to have suffered spinal or back injuries, from the truck seconds before the train hit it. No train passengers were physically injured. The truck driver and the occupant of another vehicle involved in the original crash were hospitalized for their injuries.

Any type of collision with a truck can cause damage and harm: rear-ending, front impact or rollover.

In Alabama a lawsuit concluded when the jury found a trucking company and its truck driver guilty of the wrongful death of a man involved in a crash.

June 16, 2009

Crashes involving cars and trucks slamming into each other can often have deadly results especially for the car occupants. Trucks, also known as tractor-trailers, semis or big rigs, are much larger than most automobiles, and their size can have a devastating effect on impact. When a semi-truck is involved in a crash, the fault may lie with the driver, the trucking company, or the business that hired the truck to haul their load. In other instances, the road on which the accident occurs may be unsafe for trucks and cars to travel together, in which case a municipal or federal entity may be to blame. For those that are not killed in truck vs. car crashes, injuries can include paralysis, broken bones and burns. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck-related crash in Los Angeles, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO now, or to learn more about your legal rights visit www.alawpro.com.

May 11, 2009

A new report by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) states that most truck-related crashes in California are the fault of passenger vehicles, such as cars, SUV’s, vans or buses. According to the report, there were more than 7,200 California accidents involving big rigs in 2008, and over 50% were caused by unsafe maneuvers by passenger vehicle drivers. Still, there are plenty of reports of tractor-trailer accidents in which the big rig was reportedly speeding or disobeying other traffic laws.

LA CANADA-FLINTRIDGE TRUCK CRASH: UNSAFE ROAD? CONTACT CA PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS NOW

April 14, 2009

For the second time in 6 months a big rig truck accident has occurred on the same LA area highway. With 2 dead and 13 injured between both accidents, the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) has put a temporary ban on trucks on the Route 2 (Angeles Crest Highway). Some are saying the action is too late, and that the latest crash and fatalities could have been prevented. Dangerous roads can be the responsibility of CalTrans or other municipal authorities. Learning who is responsible for protecting residents from life-endangering conditions on Southern California roadways can be complicated. To get more information on premises liability and hazardous road design, please visit our website at www.alawpro.com. Or call 1-800-ALAWPRO now to speak to a Southland lawyer for free.

The most recent accident happened when a tractor-trailer carrying cars lost its brakes, crashing into a bookstore and other cars. The truck took a mountainous route forbidden to truckers on his way to the wreck site. Two people, a father and daughter, died in the crash and 12 others were injured.
