<p><strong>One person died             and two were seriously injured in a <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">hit               and run Richmond accident</a> at around 5 a.m. on Sunday             morning.</strong><strong> </strong><strong>The             fiery crash occurred </strong>on the Carlson Avenue on ramp           to east bound           Interstate 80 with one car exploding on impact.&nbsp; When Richmond           firefighters arrived, witnesses were pulling victims from           their vehicles.&nbsp;           Three of the &nbsp;victims were transported to area hospitals with           serious           injuries but, unfortunately, a Fremont man was declared dead           on arrival.&nbsp;           Witnesses reported that the driver of one of the cars jumped           over the median           and ran across westbound I-80.&nbsp; Authorities are looking for           the driver but           the cause of this <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">Richmond car             accident</a> remains under investigation.</p>
<h2>Richmond Car Accident Attorneys</h2>
<p>In         California,         the law requires a driver that has been involved in a collision         to stop and         present his or her license and insurance information, regardless         of the level         of seriousness or extent of injury. Failing to do may result in         <strong>criminal           charges including a Felony </strong><em>Hit &amp; Run charge           when a victim           sustains serious injuries.</em></p>
<p>Nothing         is more         devastating than losing a loved one, especially if it is         unexpected and as the         result of someone&#8217;s negligence. The law provides that certain         family members,         usually a spouse, child or parent, have the right to recover         compensation for         certain losses if someone is liable for causing another person&#8217;s         death. These         losses include both economic and non-economic damages. The most         significant         economic loss recoverable in a wrongful death claim is typically         the loss of         financial support and other benefits that the deceased would         have provided in         his or her lifetime to the person making the claim. Non-economic         damages         include the loss of love, support and companionship of the         deceased person.         Anyone who has lost a loved one as the result of another&#8217;s         negligence or         carelessness is advised to contact an experienced <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-accident-lawyer.htm" target="_blank" title="California Personal Injury Attorney">California           Personal           Injury Attorney</a> who will hire investigators and accident         reconstruction         experts to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident,         advise the victim         of all legal rights, and file a lawsuit if necessary to obtain         fair         compensation.</p>
<p>If you         or a         loved one is injured or dies in a hit and run accident, you are         strongly         advised to consult with an experienced <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank" title="California Personal Injury Attorney">Sacramento           Personal           Injury Attorney</a>.

<p>The driver of an SUV sustained serious injuries Sunday evening when a green Ford Escort veered directly into his part while he was traveling eastbound on West Manning Avenue west of South Lassen Avenue.  The driver of the SUV veered off the road to avoid a collision with the Escort and his vehicle overturned, ejecting him in the process.  The California Highway Patrol reports that he not wearing a safety belt.   He was transported to a local hospital with major injuries.</p>

<p>The driver of the Ford Escort fled the scene of this <a title="Fresno accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">Fresno accident</a> eastbound on West Manning Avenue.  If you have any information about the incident or the identity of the driver of the Ford Escort, please contact the California Highway Patrol at (559)441-5441.  The <a title="Fresno hit-and-run accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">Fresno hit-and-run accident</a> remains under investigation</p>
<p>California law makes it a misdemeanor to leave the scene of a collision without stopping unless someone suffers serious bodily injury, in which case it becomes a felony. Despite these potential penalties, California Highway Patrol statistics indicate that 22,091 safe drivers were injured in 2008 by irresponsible drivers who caused hit and run collisions.</p>
<p>Besides driving defensively, the best way to protect yourself against hit and run drivers is to have adequate uninsured motorist coverage in your own policy. If you are injured by someone driving a hit and run or uninsured vehicle, the uninsured motorist coverage in your policy will provide coverage for medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering to the extent of the other driver’s liability.</p>
<p>Insurance companies do not usually cooperate in paying all that is owed to an uninsured motorist claimant. If you or a loved one is injured by a hit and run driver, it is a good idea to consult with an experienced <a title="California Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank">California Personal Injury Attorney</a>. In hit and run cases, a knowledgeable <a title="California Personal Injury Lawyer" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank">California Personal Injury Lawyer<em> </em></a>can investigate and, if possible, hold the hit and run driver responsible for his or her actions. A good <em>California Auto Accident Attorney</em> will advise you of all your rights with regard to a civil claim for damages and recovery under all available insurance policies.</p>

<p>Six week old infant twins and their mother suffered minor injuries in a seven car pileup on Interstate 15 on Friday.  Investigators are still investigating the cause of the <a title="California car accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-car-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank">California car accident</a> that involved seven cars and at least five separate crashes, including three hit-and-runs.  Firefighters responding to the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">California injury accident</span> near West Bernardo Drive on southbound I-15.  Two other victims were also taken to the hospital with various injuries.</p>
<p><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=West+Bernardo+Drive&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=65.135703,107.138672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=W+Bernardo+Dr,+San+Diego,+California&amp;ll=33.032905,-117.080789&amp;spn=0.034394,0.052314&amp;z=14&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=33.037235,-117.076268&amp;panoid=si8HeMGUv7P56gueXa3StA&amp;cbp=12,92.93,,0,0&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>Authorities are still investigating the cause of this <a title="California accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">California accident</a>.  Sometimes the CHP traffic collision report will help determine who was at fault based on witness statements and the physical evidence at the scene of the collision. However, further investigation, including accident reconstruction, is sometimes necessary to get to the bottom of which driver or drivers were entirely or partly at fault.</p>
<p>Some of the worst drivers are also the most irresponsible drivers. California law makes it a misdemeanor to leave the scene of a collision without stopping unless someone suffers serious bodily injury, in which case a “hit and run” becomes a felony. Despite these potential penalties, California Highway Patrol statistics indicate that 22,091 victims were injured in 2008 by irresponsible drivers who caused hit and run collisions.</p>
<p>Injured victims of car accidents always have to deal with a number of issues following each car crash. It is very important to find medical attention immediately. You always have to get documentation of your treatment and prognosis as soon as you can. Seek follow-up attention to eliminate the risk of subtle injuries that go unnoticed. Talk to your insurer as required, but don’t discuss potential accident causes. Consult with your lawyer first. Do not talk to any other insurance companies, and do not settle out of court without legal advice.</p>
<p>All injured victims in accidents like this are strongly urged to consult with an experienced <a title="Sacramento Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">California Personal Injury Attorney</a> to protect their rights. An experienced auto accident lawyer should also advise victims about how their car insurance policy or other insurance policies will apply to an accident.</p>

The accident occurred at           around 7:15 p.m. As           two pedestrians were crossing Truxel Road at West El Camino           Avenue, one of the           men was hit by a car. The victim of Sacramento accident was           taken to a hospital           in critical condition. The Natomas accident remains under           investigation.           Alcohol and drugs were not involved.</p>
<p>California Highway Patrol records         indicate that         14,047 pedestrians were injured by motorists in California in         2008. The         injuries are often serious, and sometimes deadly, because of the         force that a         vehicle imparts to an exposed body.</p>
<p>In all pedestrian versus car         collisions, witness         accounts are essential. However there may be other information         that can         influence who will be deemed responsible, in whole or in part,         for a collision.         California Vehicle Code section 21950 says: “The driver of a         vehicle shall         yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway         within any marked crosswalk         or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection”, and that a         driver         approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk         “shall         exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of a vehicle or         take any other         action relating to the operating of the vehicle as necessary to         safeguard the         safety of the pedestrian.” Determining who is at fault in a         pedestrian versus         auto collision usually requires a very fact specific         investigation that         includes consideration of the speed of the vehicle, the         visibility of the         pedestrian, road conditions, and whether avoidance measures were         taken.</p>
<h2>Sacramento Personal Injury         Lawyers</h2>
<p>The driver of a vehicle can be         held legally         liable for injuries to a pedestrian even if they were not in a         cross walk at         the time they were hit. Pedestrians injured by a motor vehicle         should seek the         counsel of an experienced&nbsp;<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/sacramento-pedestrian-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank" title="Sacramento Injury Attorney">Sacramento           Injury Attorney </a>who         will analyze all of the factors involved in an incident and will         hold the         negligent parties accountable.

<p style="text-align: justify;">A 55-year-old Vanessa Gail         Hall-Macon, died in a <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">hit and run Sacramento           accident</a> on         Saturday evening. The fatal accident occurred in Arden Arcade         when a drunk         driver drove onto the sidewalk along Hurley Way west of Bell         Street and struck         the victim. Ms. Hall-Macon was transported to the UC Davis         medical Center where         she was pronounced dead.&nbsp; The driver left the scene of the         Sacramento         accident however shortly after that he was located by police.         Corey Demetricus         Hazewood was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter while         intoxicated, driving         under the influence and hit and run.<em>.</em><em></em></p>
<p><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-car-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank" title="Driving under the influence of alcohol">Driving           under           the influence of alcohol</a> is a crime that can result in         felony charges when         crash victims sustain serious personal injuries.&nbsp; Unfortunately,         no matter         how strong the laws against drunk driving, and no matter how         strong public         opinion seems to be against this type of conduct, some people         simply cannot         help themselves. The results are tragic. The California Highway         Patrol         Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System indicates that in         2008, there were         1,355 fatal collisions involving drunk drivers.</p>
<p>California law requires that a driver that has been involved in         a collision         to stop and provide his or her license and insurance         information, regardless of         the level of seriousness or extent of injury. Failing to do so         can result in <strong>criminal             charges including a felony <em>hit &amp; run               charge when a victim sustains serious bodily injury</em></strong><em>. </em>CHP         statistics indicate that 22,091 safe drivers were injured in         2008 by         irresponsible drivers who caused hit and run collisions.</p>
<h2>Sacramento DUI Accident Attorneys</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nothing is more devastating than         losing a loved         one, especially if it is unexpected and as the result of         someone’s negligence.         The law provides that certain family members, usually a spouse,         child or         parent, have the right to recover compensation for certain         losses if someone is         liable for causing another person’s death. These losses include         both economic         and non-economic damages. The most significant economic loss         recoverable in a         wrongful death claim is typically the loss of financial support         and other         benefits that the deceased would have provided in his or her         lifetime to the         person making the claim. Non-economic damages include the loss         of love, support         and companionship of the deceased person. Anyone who has lost a         loved one as         the result of another’s negligence or carelessness is advised to         contact an         experienced <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-accident-lawyer.htm" target="_blank" title="California Personal Injury Attorney">California           Personal           Injury Attorney</a> who will hire investigators and accident         reconstruction         experts to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident,         advise the victim         of all legal rights, and file a lawsuit if necessary to obtain         fair         compensation.</p>

<p>An off duty California Highway Patrol officer suffered serious <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/index.php">personal injuries</a> when his motorcycle struck by a  hit by a car in Northwest Fresno. Witnesses saw a silver Toyota Tundra driving erratically on east bound Herndon Avenue before it veered into the motorcycle and forced it off the roadway and into a curb.  Police are looking for the driver of the Toyota, who fled the scene.  The officer sustained a serious leg injury and was flown to a Bay Area Hospital to undergo surgery.</p>
<p><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=East+Herndon+Avenue,+Fresno,+CA&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.483365,114.169922&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=E+Herndon+Ave,+Fresno,+California&amp;z=14&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=36.836748,-119.758761&amp;panoid=ufwDAucGZTXq0R6FXZw-HQ&amp;cbp=12,343.05,,0,5&amp;ll=36.83725,-119.758992&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">Fresno injury collision</a> remains under investigation, but it appears the driver of the Toyota bears complete responsibility for this collision.   Some of the worst drivers are also the most irresponsible drivers. California law makes it a misdemeanor to leave the scene of a collision without stopping unless someone suffers serious bodily injury, in which case it becomes a felony. Despite these potential penalties, California Highway Patrol statistics indicate that 22,091 victims were injured in 2008 by irresponsible drivers who caused hit and run collisions.</p>
<h2>Hit &amp; Run Accidents, California Injury Law</h2>
<p>Besides driving defensively, the best way to protect yourself against hit and run drivers is to have adequate uninsured motorist coverage in your own policy. If you are injured by someone driving a hit and run vehicle or an uninsured vehicle, the uninsured motorist coverage in your policy will pay for medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering to the extent of the other driver’s liability.  In the above scenario, the hit and run driver was legally liable for all of the damages sustained by the CHP officer but if the drive of the Toyota is not found, he may have to make a claim under the uninsured motorist coverage of his own motorcycle insurance policy.</p>
<h2>Fresno Personal Injury Attorneys</h2>
<p>If you or a loved one is injured or dies in a hit and run accident, you should consult with an experienced <a title="California Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank">Fresno Personal Injury Attorney</a>.

<p>53-year-old woman from           Woodland was           seriously injured in a <a title="hit-and run accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/index.php" target="_blank">hit-and run accident</a> on Monday. The accident           happened at 8:27 a.m. at the intersection of West Beamer and           California street           in Woodland. The woman was struck by a car while she was           crossing the           intersection. She struck  the windshield of the suspect car           and rolled over the           top of the car before landing in the middle of the           intersection.  The victim of           this <a title="Woodland hit-and-run accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html">Woodland hit-and-run accident</a> was transported  by an air           ambulance to the           UC Davis Trauma Center in Sacramento. Although her injuries           were reported as           serious, she was conscious and able to speak at the scene of           the           collision.  The suspect car was reported by witnesses as a           dark, mid-size           4-door sedan. The vehicle should have front-end and windshield           damage. The           vehicle  may also be missing a hubcap. There were two male           occupants in           the car.</p>

Anyone with information           related to this           investigation is asked to call the Woodland Police Department           at (530)           666-2411.</p>
<p>Some           of the worst drivers are also the most irresponsible drivers.           California law           makes it a misdemeanor to leave the scene of a collision           without stopping           unless someone suffers serious bodily injury, in which case it           becomes a           felony. Despite these potential penalties, California Highway           Patrol statistics           indicate that 22,091 victims were injured in 2008 by           irresponsible drivers who caused           hit and run collisions.</p>
<h2>California Hit-and-Run Car Accident Lawyer</h2>
<p>The cause of the Woodland           collision           remains under investigation so the full details of the <a title="Rancho Cordova accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/index.php" target="_blank">Rancho Cordova accident</a> are not known although           it appears the driver of the car bears all responsibility for           this collision.           In all pedestrian versus car collisions, witness accounts are           essential.           However there may be other information that can influence who           will be deemed           responsible, in whole or in part, for a collision. California           Vehicle Code           section 21950 says: “The driver of a vehicle shall yield the           right-of-way           to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked           crosswalk or within any           unmarked crosswalk at an intersection”, also the driver who is           approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked           crosswalk “shall           exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of a vehicle           or take any other           action relating to the operating of the vehicle as necessary           to safeguard the           safety of the pedestrian.”</p>
<p>Besides driving defensively, the         best way to         protect yourself against hit and run drivers is to have adequate         uninsured         motorist coverage in your own policy.  If you are injured by         someone         driving a hit and run vehicle or an unsinsured vehicle, the         uninsured motorist         coverage in your policy will provide coverage for medical         expenses, lost income         and pain and suffering to the extent of the other driver’s         liability.  In the above scenario, the hit and run driver was         legally         liable for all of the damages sustained by the woman but the         injured pedestrian         may make a claim against her own automobile insurance policy.</p>
<p>However,  even your                   own insurance company may not cooperate in paying all                   that is owed to an uninsured motorist claimant. If you                   or a loved one is injured by a hit and run driver, it                   is a good idea to consult with an experienced <a title="Sacramento Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank">Sacramento Personal                     Injury Attorney</a>.

<p>A 27-year old man from Sacramento         died after his         bicycle was struck by a car on Wednesday in Modesto. The deadly         <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-accident-lawyer.html">Modesto car           accident</a> happened at 7:15 p.m. on Fulkerth Road. Vanessa         Carillo, 21,         was driving her Toyota at approximately           55 mph, when           she hit the bicyclist from behind, killing him instantly&nbsp; She           then proceeded to           flee from the scene of the collision and waited over an hour           to call the           California Highway Patrol.&nbsp; When she called, she claimed she           struck a dog and           denied hitting a person although she eventually admitted to           noticing a body on           the road. Although initial reports indicate drugs and alcohol           were not a           factor, the&nbsp; California Highway Patrol is still investiging           the Modesto           accident.</p>
<p>We are sending our sincere         condolences to the         family and friends of the deceased cyclist. <em>Based             on the California Highway Patrol </em><em>Statistics           in</em> 2008 there         were 22,091 injuries, caused by irresponsible drivers in         hit-and-run         collisions.</p>
<p>In California, the law requires a         driver that has         been involved in a collision to stop and present his or her         license and insurance         information, regardless of the level of seriousness or extent of         injury.         Failing to do may result in <strong>criminal charges including           a Felony </strong><em>Hit           &amp; Run charge when a victim sustains serious injuries.</em></p>
<p>Nothing           is more devastating than losing a loved one, especially if it           is unexpected and           as the result of someone’s negligence. The law provides that           certain           family members, usually a spouse, child or parent, have the           right to recover           compensation for certain losses if someone is liable for           causing another person’s           death. These losses include both economic and non-economic           damages. The most           significant economic loss recoverable in a wrongful death           claim is typically           the loss of financial support and other benefits that the           deceased would have           provided in his or her lifetime to the person making the           claim. Non-economic           damages include the loss of love, support and companionship of           the deceased           person. Anyone who has lost a loved one as the result of           another’s           negligence or carelessness is advised to contact an           experienced <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-accident-lawyer.htm" target="_blank" title="California Personal Injury Attorney">California           Personal           Injury Attorney</a> who           will hire investigators and accident reconstruction experts to           conduct a           thorough investigation of the incident, advise the victim of           all legal rights,           and file a lawsuit if necessary to obtain fair compensation.</p>
<p>If you           or a loved one           is injured or dies in a hit and run accident, you are         strongly advised         to consult with an experienced <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/hit-and-run-accidents.html" target="_blank" title="California Personal Injury Attorney">Sacramento           Personal           Injury Attorney</a>.

<p>Ramon Vargas of Sacramento was arrested and taken to the Sacramento County Jail on felony DUI charges after his vehicle collided with a taxi on Interstate 80 on Saturday morning .  Mr. Vargas’ Isuzu Rodeo was merging onto I-80 from northbound I-5 when he steered his Isuzu Rodeo directly into a Ford Crown Victoria taxicab being driven by Germaine Rizak, 31.</p>
<div id="attachment_320" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.personalinjuryweblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/465392_breathalyzer.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-320" title="Sacramento DUI Accident" src="http://www.personalinjuryweblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/465392_breathalyzer-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sacramento DUI Accident</p></div>
<p>The Isuzu overturned and came to the rest on its roof as a result of the collision.   Fortunately, the passengers of the taxi as well as a passenger in the Isuzu were not seriously injured.</p>
<p>However, another injury accident occurred after Daniel Zipay and his brother stopped to assist the victims of this <a title="Sacramento car accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com"><strong>Sacramento car accident</strong></a>.  As Mr. Zipay was placing reflective triangles at the scene, he was struck by another passing vehicle.  Mr. Zipay was taken to UC Davis Medical Center with a broken pelvis and broken right leg.  The hit and run driver has not been identified.</p>

<p>As a result of the above collisions, Mr. Vargas was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and causing a crash that resulted in serious injury.  He was also cited for making an unsafe lane change.</p>
<h2>Alcohol Related Car Accidents</h2>
<p><a title="Driving under the influence of alcohol" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-car-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank">Driving under the influence of alcohol</a> is a crime that can result in felony charges when crash victims sustain serious personal injuries.  Unfortunately, no matter how strong the laws against drunk driving, and no matter how strong public opinion seems to be against this type of conduct, some people simply cannot help themselves. The results are tragic. The California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System indicates that in 2008, there were 1,355 fatal collisions involving drunk drivers.</p>
<p><strong>California Hit and Run Accidents </strong></p>
<p>California law requires that a driver that has been involved in a collision to stop and provide his or her license and insurance information, regardless of the level of seriousness or extent of injury. Failing to do so can result in <strong>criminal charges including a felony </strong><em><strong>hit &amp; run charge when a victim sustains serious bodily injury</strong>. </em>CHP statistics indicate that 22,091 safe drivers were injured in 2008 by irresponsible drivers who caused hit and run collisions.</p>
