A 23-year-old woman who sustained major injuries and miscarried as a result of a Riverside car accident has been identified as Christin Hill. She was driving west on Limonite Avenue near Downey Street the night of October 27, 2009 when she lost control of her 2003 Chevy Silverado truck and crashed into a light pole. Hill was transported to a local hospital for treatment of major injuries. Joshua Hill, 24, who was a passenger in the truck also sustained major injuries. A 1-year-old girl in the Silverado suffered minor injuries.

My thoughts and prayers go out to these injured victims. I hope Christin Hill, Joshua Hill and the toddler recover quickly and completely from their injuries.

Car Accident Causes

What is not clear in this news report is how Christin Hill lost control of her pickup truck. It's possible that this accident was the result of driver error, but in any car accident it is important to look at every aspect to make sure there was no negligence on anyone else's part. A dangerous roadway condition may have caused Hill to lose control of her vehicle. The questions to ask here, are - Was the crash caused by a mechanical malfunction or an auto product defect? Was her vehicle run off the road by another vehicle? Was there any debris on the roadway that led to the accident?

If a vehicle defect caused the accident, then the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective auto part can be held responsible for the victims' injuries. If this accident was caused as a result of another motorist's negligence, that person can be held liable. If a dangerous roadway condition caused or contributed to this accident, the governmental agency responsible for maintaining that roadway could be held liable. Any claim against a governmental entity must be properly filed within 180 days of an accident or injury.
