<p>Four teenagers were seriously injured in a <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">Folsom roll-over car accident</a> on Wednesday night. Based on the police report, drugs and alcohol could be a factor in the Folsom car crash.</p>
<p>Around 11:40 pm a sports car overturned on Heritage Place. As a result, three passenger teens were ejected from a red Ford Explorer. A 17-year-old driver was still belted in the car.</p>
<p>The four victims were taken to local hospitals for the medical treatment. As police were investigating the Folsom car accident, broken bottles of whiskey and marijuana paraphernalia were found along the path of the crash. The SUV was speeding northbound on Heritage Place, when the driver lost control and crossed over the center of the road. The driver did not have a license and was the only person in the Ford Explorer wearing seatbelts. He was arrested for driving under the influence and taken into Sacramento Juvenile Hall.</p>
<h2>California Drunk Driving 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 resulting in felony charges when crash victims sustaining personal injuries. 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 Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a) states, “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.” If the drunk driver causes a death of another, the drunk driver can face vehicular manslaughter charges based on California Penal Code section 191.5 (a): ”Gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought, in the driving of a vehicle, where the driving was in violation of Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 of the Vehicle Code, and the killing was either the proximate result of the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, and with gross negligence, or the proximate result of the commission of a lawful act that might produce death, in an unlawful manner, and with gross negligence.”</p>

<p>Rodney Tate Sr., 50, sustained major injuries in a <a title="California motorcycle accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-motorcycle-accident-attorneys.html">Lodi motorcycle accident</a> after his motorcycle collided in the merge lane on Highway 99 on Monday. According to the police report Mr. Tate was riding a 2008 Harley Davidson southbound, trying to merge onto Highway 99 from Turner Road. Around 3:40 p.m. the driver of a  Acura Integra moved into the merge lane and crashed into the motorcyclist. .  Mr. Tate  suffered serious personal injuries and was taken by  helicopter to the trauma center. The driver of the Acura, Maria Serreira, 31, of Galt, and her passenger suffered minor injuries and were both taken to the hospital for treatment.  It appears that Ms. Serreira doesn’t  have a California driver&#8217;s license. The Police could not track down her driving record.</p>
<p>We wish  all the victims of the Lodi crash a  speedy and complete recovery from their injuries and hope the extent of  Mr. Tate’s injury are not as severe as they initially appear.</p>

<p>The Lodi <strong>motorcycle accident</strong> remains under the investigation although it appears as if  alcohol or drugs were a factor. Thorough investigation is required in such cases to determine all other possible contributing factors, including the involvement of another vehicle, road conditions, including any ongoing construction in the area, and even manufacturing defects in the motorcycle itself.  When the negligence of someone other than the injured or deceased party contributes to an accident, that negligent party is responsible for paying his or her share of medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering.</p>

<p>Five people were injured Wednesday night in a <a title="single-car accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">single-car accident </a>on Highway 70 north of Erle Road in Yuba-Sutter. According to the CHP, they are investigating a witness report that a Honda Accord being driven by Thomas Ramirez, 17, of Marysville, may have been racing another vehicle when it went out of control, veered right, skipped off one tree then struck a second head-on.  A male passenger suffered head and chest injuries and was taken to the U.C. Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. A female passenger was transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center with a broken leg. Three others were taken to Rideout Memorial Hospital.</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;q=Erle+Rd,+Marysville,+Yuba,+California&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=87.513251,228.339844&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;cd=2&amp;geocode=Fdm7VAIdwZ_C-A&amp;split=0&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Erle+Rd,+Marysville,+Yuba,+California&amp;ll=39.107545,-121.462847&amp;spn=0.022876,0.055747&amp;z=14&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=39.113204,-121.558978&amp;panoid=Ng3a5hTIr5UPBbxNwm2bVw&amp;cbp=12,194.82,,0,5&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>The cause of the crash remains under investigation.  Mr. Ramirez is more than likely responsible from a legal standpoint to compensate the passengers of his vehicle for the ambulance bill, hospital bill, lost income and pain and suffering.  In most cases, Mr. Ramirez’s insurance would pay for these losses.  If he has no insurance, the passengers may be able to recover under the uninsured motorist provision of an auto insurance policy held by someone in their household.  Also, if there was another identifiable vehicle that contributed to this crash by racing, the driver of that vehicle may also be legally responsible for these damages.</p>
<h2>Car Accidents in California</h2>
<p>Anyone seriously injured in a motor vehicle collision has a number of serious issues to deal with after a collision like this.  First, the legal responsibility for the collision must be determined.  Sometimes that requires investigation beyond what is contained in the police report.</p>
<p>Second, the medical bills must be paid.  Even if there is health insurance to pay for the bills initially, the health insurance company will likely seek reimbursement from any liability insurance recovery.  That means that the health insurance company will be competing for money that otherwise would go to the injured victim.</p>
<p>Third, when there are multiple people injured in a crash, they will often be competing for a proportional share of a limited amount of insurance money.</p>
<p>Lastly, insurance companies will do whatever they can to avoid paying fair compensation for not only medical bills, but lost income and pain and suffering as well.</p>
<h2>Hiring a Qualified California Personal Injury Attorney</h2>
<p>Because of these and many other issues, everyone injured in a collision like this are strongly urged to consult with an experienced <a title="California Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">California Personal Injury Attorney</a> who will make sure that your rights are protected and that you are dealt with fairly.</p>

<p>A catastrophic series of automobile crashes&nbsp;on Highway 99 killed a man on Thursday morning. The man was identified as Robert Alverson, 50, of Sacramento. As reported by the California Highway Patrol, around 5:10 a.m, Mr. Alverson stopped to help out motorists, who were involved in a crash on northbound Highway 99.&nbsp; Apparently, Mr. Alveroson was walking toward the collision to render assistance when he was struck by a motorist who was driving under the influence. Mr. Alversonwas propelled into the southbound lanes where he was struck &nbsp;again by another vehicle. Mr. Alveroson died at the scene of the accident. The <a target="_blank" title="Fighting for Victims of DUI Accidents" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-dwi/dui-accident-lawyers.html">Sacramento car crash</a> remains under investigation however it appears as if another innocent live was taken by a drunk driver. What is particularly tragic is that Ms. Alverson was a good Samaritan offering to help injured victims when he was killed.</p>

<p>Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Robert Alverson, who was so suddenly and tragically taken away from all those who knew and loved him. We especially offer our condolences to his family for their heartbreaking loss.</p>
<h2>Alcohol Related Car Accidents</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" title="Driving under the influence of alcohol" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-car-accident-lawyers.html">Driving under the influence of alcohol</a> is criminal.&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.&nbsp; The results are tragic.&nbsp; The California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System indicates that in 2008, there were 1,355 fatal collisions involving drunk drivers.&nbsp; This kind of heartbreak is unacceptable, and California should do more to prevent more <strong>DUI related deaths</strong>, including stiffer penalties for all offenders, alcohol treatment programs, and education for alternatives like designated drivers.</p>
<h2>DUI Accidents in California</h2>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a) states “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.” If the drunk driver causes a death of another, the drunk driver can face vehicular manslaughter charges based on California Penal Code section 191.5 (a) ”Gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought, in the driving of a vehicle, where the driving was in violation of Section 23140, 23152, or 23153 of the Vehicle Code, and the killing was either the proximate result of the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, and with gross negligence, or the proximate result of the commission of a lawful act that might produce death, in an unlawful manner, and with gross negligence.”</p>

<p>Another Californian was lost last week due an alleged <a title="DUI California car accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-dwi/dui-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank">DUI  California car accident</a>.  The California Highway Patrol reports  that Scott Farinha was driving his Chevrolet Camaro on Highway 138 near  Phelan last Friday afternoon when a vehicle being driven by 45-year-old  Zimmie Burnath, proceeding in the opposite direction, crossed over into  his lane of traffic and caused a head on collision.  Unfortunately, Mr.  Farinha was declared dead at the scene.</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=Highway+138+phelan+ca&amp;sll=37.09024,-95.712891&amp;sspn=47.569986,114.169922&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Hwy+138,+Phelan,+San+Bernardino,+California+92371&amp;z=14&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=34.336109,-117.521575&amp;panoid=2EahFPJFlI4k9xQuufFV2A&amp;cbp=12,151.08,,0,5&amp;ll=34.337041,-117.517495&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>The CHP reported that Ms. Burnath was likely under the influence of  alcohol when officers attempted to pull her over for swerving into  oncoming traffic.  Instead, Ms. Burnath led officers on a 5 mile high  speed chase that reached speeds of 100 m.p.h. while she weaved in and  out of traffic and narrowly missed other vehicles before colliding head  on with Mr. Farinha’s Camaro.  The intoxicated Burnath survived the  crash, but was transported to the hospital with major <em><strong>personal  injuries</strong></em>.  Ms. Burnath will face charges of <strong>driving under the influence</strong>,  evading police and murder when she is released from the hospital.</p>
<p>Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Mr. Farinha, who was  so suddenly and tragically taken away from all those who knew and loved  him. We especially offer our condolences to his family for their  heartbreaking loss.</p>

<p>A 22-year-old woman was killed Sunday night in a tragic <a title="car crash sacramento" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">car crash </a> that took place  on westbound Interstate 80 near Antelope Road in Citrus Heights.</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=Interstate+80,+Citrus+Heights,+California&amp;sll=40.727138,-98.669835&amp;sspn=22.874962,57.084961&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Interstate+80,+Citrus+Heights,+Sacramento,+California&amp;z=14&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=38.707664,-121.308975&amp;panoid=FAbMvvQwhCq6vW8FF7m5PA&amp;cbp=12,240.21,,0,5&amp;ll=38.713844,-121.306314&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>According to information provided by the Highway Patrol, a white  Mercedes 190E being driven by a woman in the number two lane at an  unknown speed came into contact with an orange Honda Element going  approximately 75 miles per hour in the next lane over.  The Mercedes  apparently clipped the Honda, causing both vehicles to spin out of  control and collide with each other and the center median.  The driver  of the Honda and two of his passengers were taken to <em><strong>Sutter Roseville  Medical Center</strong></em> with various personal injuries ranging from pain and  abrasions to a broken arm. A third passenger was transported to San Juan  Medical Center for cuts to his face.</p>
<p>The identity of the woman who tragically died in the Mercedes has not  been released pending notification of relatives.  We extend our deepest  sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of the woman.</p>
<p>We also wish the best to persons injured in this accident and wish  them a fast and complete recovery.</p>
<h2>California Auto Accidents</h2>
<p>Although the information available is limited and the investigation  into the crash is ongoing, it appears that this collision was caused by  driving at an unsafe speed, a violation of California Vehicle Code  §22350, and an unsafe lane change, a violation of Vehicle Code §22107.   It appears that both vehicles were traveling in excess of the speed  limit.  However, it is unclear which vehicle turned into which vehicle’s  lane.  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 was entirely or mostly at fault.</p>
<p>This tragic collision illustrates the need to drive at a safe speed  and to always pay attention to where your vehicle is in relation to  other vehicles on the highway.  High speed collisions create a greater  possibility of serious injury or death.  The California Highway Patrol  Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System indicates that, in 2008,  there were 3,113 fatal collisions.  Driving at or near the speed limit,  or at least with the flow of traffic, drastically decreases your chances  of being involved in a high speed collision on the freeway.</p>
<h2>Hiring a Sacramento Personal Injury Lawyer</h2>
<p>Persons injured and the family of persons killed in any type of car  accident are urged to consult with a knowledgeable <a title="Sacramento Personal Injury Attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com" target="_blank">Sacramento  Personal Injury Attorney</a>. It is important to get legal advice  quickly so that all rights are protected. An experienced <a title="Sacramento Personal Injury Lawyer" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-bicycle-accident-lawyers.html" target="_blank">Sacramento  Personal Injury Lawyer </a>will investigate all circumstances of a  catastrophic accident and provide legal guidance.  In California, a  party whose negligence contributes to a collision has civil liability  for damages, including medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and  suffering.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.personalinjuryweblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/d.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-190" title="pit bull" src="http://www.personalinjuryweblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/d-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Jose Zamudio of West Sacramento was injured after being <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/sacramento-dog-bite-injury-lawyers.html">attacked  by two pit bulls</a> .The incident happened around 11 a.m. Sunday at  1621 Hobson St., in West Sacramento.</p>
<p>Mr. Zamudio was just leaving his fenced front yard at his home when  he noticed two pit bull dogs, running at him and barking. Mr. Zamudio  immediately reached for a pocket knife he had on him in an effort to  defend himself.  Just then the adult female pit bull lunged and began  biting him on both forearms, inflicting numerous cuts and puncture  wounds. At the time of the accident Rita Gomez,  Mr. Zamudio’s  girlfriend was in the house. As soon as she heard her boyfriend  screaming she called 911. The victim of this brutal attack was able to  manage to get back into his fenced front yard and then into his  residence. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Zamudio was taken to a hospital for  emergency medical care.</p>
<p>The dogs’ owner, Octavio Romero, who lives at 1609 Hobson, turned  both dogs over to authorities.</p>
<p>We truly sympathize with the injured victim. No person should go  through what this man went through. We hope that Mr. Zamudio recovers  completely from his physical and emotional injuries.</p>
<h2>Dog Bite Statistics</h2>
<p>Each year over 330,687 people are treated in emergency rooms the  United States after being attacked by a dog. Most of pit bulls’ attacks  lead to very serious injuries. As studies show pit bulls are the most  dangerous dog breed in America. During the 5-year period from 2005  -2009, pit bulls accounted for 70% of the total recorded fatal attacks.  Between 2006 and 2008, pit bull type dogs killed 52 people in America.</p>
<p>The dog owner is the liable party in dog bite lawsuits. It does not  matter if the owner did not know the dog would attack another person.  The owner must pay for all of the medical bills and pain and suffering  of  the innocent victim. In order to ensure a strong case, try to do the  following thre things as soon as possible after being attacked:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify the dog and its owner and get the address and      phone  number of the owner.</li>
<li>If another person witnessed the attack, get that      person&#8217;s  contact information.</li>

<p>A <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/california-car-accident-lawyers.html">California auto accident </a>seriously injured a diver and a passenger on early Saturday morning. The accident happened in Stockton, close to Airport Avenue and Ralph Avenue shortly after 3:00 a.m. The car was traveling north on Airport Avenue when it struck a bridge and overturned into the southbound lanes. The driver was transported to San Joaquin General Hospital with serious injuries. The passenger was also hospitalized although initial reports indicate her injuries were less severe than the drivers.  The cause of the accident is still under investigation but it appears as if excessive speed may have been a factor.</p>

<p>We are keeping the injured victims in thoughts and  prayers. We wish them a fast and complete recovery.</p>
<h2>Fatal Car Crashes California</h2>
<p>Based on the California Highway Patrol <strong>2008 Annual Report of Fatal and Injury Motor Vehicle Traffic Collisions,</strong> there were 1,461 injured drivers and 804 passengers in Stockton’s collisions.</p>
<h2>Hiring A Stockton Personal Injury Attorney</h2>
<p>Unique issues arise in California car accident claims if you are a passenger in a vehicle.  Many times, passengers know the driver of the vehicle who may have caused the collision and are reluctant to bring a claim.  However, it is important to note that the responsible driver’s insurance company is the one who has to pay the injured passengers medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc., and not the driver  him/herself. . All injured victims in accidents like this are <strong>strongly urged</strong> to consult with an experienced <a href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/">Stockton Personal Injury Attorney</a> to protect their rights. In many cases, especially if there is some dispute as to how the collision occurred, it is advisable to get a more complete statement from a witness. Officers investigating a collision are subject to many distractions, such as clearing the scene for traffic, and may be limited in the amount of time they have to spend with witnesses at the scene. We have found that when interviewed, witnesses often add critical facts that were not noted in the officers’ statements, or clarify statements in a way that is helpful to a case.</p>

<p>Last week’s tragic <a title="California car accident" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com/" target="_blank">California car accident</a> killed Gregory Roush, a 60-year-old Folsom resident. The collision happened behind the Sutter Middle School at the intersection of Coloma Street and Dean Way. Mr. Roush was driving an old Ford pickup truck, and ran a stop sign. A Lincoln Navigator, driven by the unidentified woman with her two children, was southbound on Coloma, stopped at the stop sign and entered the intersection when the pickup struck her vehicle on the rear passenger side.</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=Coloma+Street+and+Dean+Way+Folsom+CA&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.301626,114.169922&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Coloma+St+%26+Dean+Way,+Folsom,+Sacramento,+California+95630&amp;z=16&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=38.677646,-121.170147&amp;panoid=LFslCrPTX-slzWklyHXprA&amp;cbp=12,87.39,,0,5.21&amp;ll=38.676028,-121.16864&amp;output=svembed"></iframe></p>
<p>The strength of the crash spun the Lincoln 360 degrees. The Ford continued through the intersection slamming into a power pole. Mr. Roush was taken to an area hospital where he died. The two children and their mother were transported to the local hospital.</p>
<p>We are sending our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Roush. We hope the mother and her children are recovering well and will not suffer any life-threatening personal injuries.</p>
<h2>Auto Accidents in California</h2>
<p>Based on the California Highway Patrol statistics, in 2008 there were 291 people injured in Folsom in automobile collisions. Intersections are extremely dangerous for drivers, bikers and pedestrians. Despite of all the guidelines and safety instructions crashes still happen due to speed, drunk driving and human error. Sadly, many drivers do not follow the rules of the road. The most common accidents at intersections are caused by running a stop sign or a red light, turning left or right without taking all proper safety precautions, and not paying attention to traffic or signs and signals.</p>
<h2>Folsom Personal Injury Attorney</h2>
<p>Initial reports from witnesses indicate Mr. Roush ran the stop sign. If the collision was caused by the negligence of Mr. Roush, injured victims have legal rights and remedies. They may ask for compensation for all medical expenses, loss of wages, pain and suffering and property damage. Whenever there are serious injuries a knowledgeable <a title="Folsom personal injury attorney" href="http://www.injury-attorneys.com" target="_blank">Folsom personal injury attorney</a> will help victims and their families to file a personal injury claim against the negligent driver.</p>
