		</div>
<p>Seven people including five children were injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a> after a head-on collision. According to a news report, the injury car accident occurred the night of March 7, 2011 at the intersection of Leffingwell and Meyer roads in the unincorporated South Whittier area when two vehicles crashed head-on. All victims sustained moderate injuries, officials said. The children were between the ages of 4 and 11. Officials are still investigating the cause of this injury car accident.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to all the injured victims of this car accident, especially the young children. I wish them all the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep these injured victims in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles Car Accidents</strong>    </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were 121 deaths and 4,683 injuries involving car accidents in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Also, countywide, <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accidents</a> claimed 667 lives and injured 52,229 people during the same year.<span id="more-1049"></span></p>
<p><strong>What Caused this Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not clear what caused the two vehicles to collide head-on. Did one of the vehicles run a red light or fail to yield right-of-way at the intersection? Was one of the drivers impaired, distracted, inattentive or otherwise negligent at the time? Was there a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction which may have caused or contributed to this incident? I trust officials are examining these and other issues in order to determine precisely how or why this car accident occurred.</p>
<p><strong>Laws and Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 21453 (a) states: "A driver facing a circular red signal shall stop at the limit line before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication to proceed is shown." Also, <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-motor-vehicle-code/intersections-21800.html" target="_blank">California Vehicle Code Section 21800 (a)</a> states: "The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different highway." </p>
<p>In such cases, the at-fault motorist can be held liable for the injuries and damages caused. Injured victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation and other related damages. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to better advise car accident victims and their families about their legal rights and options. The best personal injury law firms will always offer a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation to injured victims and their families.</p>
<p>Seriously injured in a Los Angeles County car accident?  Want to know if you have a case?  Want to know what your case is worth?  Want compensation for your injuries?  Want justice?  Want to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else?</p>

<p>Dianne Jean Pearson, 53, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Bernardino car accident</a> when her vehicle crashed into a tractor-trailer the night of February 15, 2011. According to a news report in The San Bernardino County Sun, the fatal truck accident occurred on Highway 95 north of Highway 62 near the California state line. Pearson’s 2001 Ford Explorer crashed into a southbound truck after she passed another vehicle. The Explorer veered off the road and overturned. She was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p>My heartfelt condolences go out to the friends and family of Dianne Jean Pearson. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.<span id="more-1012"></span></p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 107 people were killed and 1,925 were injured due to car accidents in the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. During that same year, there were 263 fatalities and 8,504 injuries reported involving car accidents in San Bernardino County.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Fatal Rollover Accident?</strong>  </p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not clear exactly why this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/rollover-accidents/" target="_blank">rollover accident</a> occurred?  Was there a design flaw or vehicle defect in the Ford Explorer, which may have caused or contributed to this accident? Were there any other vehicles involved? For example, did Pearson crash into the tractor-trailer because she was trying to avoid another vehicle that was making an unsafe movement? Was there a dangerous condition on the roadway, which may have led to this fatal rollover accident? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine precisely what occurred here and why. </p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>Ford Explorer SUVs are notorious for their instability even at normal speeds. These vehicles have the propensity to tip over even at slower speeds because of their high center of gravity and narrower track width. If it is determined that design flaws or inherent <a href="http://www.autoproductliabilitylawyers.com/autodefect/" target="_blank">auto defects</a> caused this accident, then the auto maker can be held liable for the victim's wrongful death. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">San Bernardino personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to analyze all aspects of the accident and make sure that the negligent parties are held accountable. In such cases, it is important to preserve the vehicle in its current crashed condition so an expert can thoroughly examine it for design flaws, product defects or malfunctions.</p>
<p>Lost a family member in a San Bernardino County car accident? Want to know your rights?  Want to know what your case is worth?  Want compensation?  Want justice?  Want to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen to another family? </p>

<p>A driver was fatally injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">car accident in Orange County</a> after his van caught fire. The deadly car accident happened the night of January 11, 2011 in the westbound lanes of the 91 Freeway in Buena Park. Officials say the Artesia man's 2003 Chevy van ignited and he swerved into a wall. The driver died at the scene. California Highway Patrol officials say he was traveling at 65 mph, which is the posted speed limit in the area. Officials are investigating the cause of this fatal car accident.</p>
<p>I offer my heartfelt sympathies to everyone who knew and loved this deceased victim. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>In Orange County 152 people died and 13,414 were injured as a result of car accidents in 2008, according to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). In the city of Buena Park, four fatalities and 457 injuries were reported as a result of car accidents in 2008. <span id="more-906"></span></p>
<p><strong>Causes and Compensation Issues</strong></p>
<p>It is unclear from this report why the Chevy van ignited. I trust officials are still trying to address the issue of whether the van ignited and crashed or crashed and then caught fire. It is also not known if there was a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the Chevy van, which caused it to ignite.</p>
<p>In such cases, it would be in the best interests of the victim's family to preserve the vehicle in its current crashed condition, unaltered, so it can be examined by an expert for vehicle defects, malfunctions and other evidence. If a vehicle defect caused the accident, the auto maker can be held liable for the victim's wrongful death. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/orange-county-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Orange County personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to advise families of victims in such cases about their legal rights and options. The best personal injury law firms will always offer a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation to injured victims and their families.</p>

<p>Two people were killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-diego-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">San Diego car accident</a> when a car went off an interstate ramp. According to a 10news report, the fatal car accident took place on the Interstate 805 ramp to eastbound State Route 94, the early morning of November 11, 2010. A 20-year-old male driver lost control of his car as it left the roadway and rolled over many times. The driver and a 21-year-old woman who were ejected from the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Two 21-year-old women, who were also occupants in the vehicle, suffered non-life threatening injuries. Police have not released the names of the victims or the cause of the car accident.<span id="more-776"></span></p>
<p>My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the two fatally injured victims of this car accident. My thoughts and prayers are also with the injured passengers who survived the accident.</p>
<p><strong>San Diego Accident Statistics</strong> </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 81 people were killed and 6,123 were injured in San Diego car accidents. During that same year, there were 246 fatalities and 13,527 injuries reported as a result of car accidents in San Diego County.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Tragic Car Accident?</strong> </p>
<p>It is unclear at this time what may have caused this single-car accident. Were speed or alcohol factors in this car accident? Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or malfunction in the car? Was this car accident the result of a dangerous or defective roadway? Were any other vehicles involved? The report states that the two fatally injured victims were not buckled up? Were they ejected because they failed to wear a seatbelt or because of a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective-seatbelts/">defective seatbelt</a>? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine precisely what occurred here and why.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>The family of a victim killed in a San Diego car accident would be well advised to consult an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-diego-personal-injury-lawyers/">San Diego personal injury lawyer</a>, who also has experienced dealing with auto products liability cases. In such cases, it is important to preserve the crashed vehicle, intact, so it can be thoroughly examined by an expert for any evidence of product defects, design flaws or malfunctions.  </p>

According to the auto maker's statement filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem could result in steering fluid spilling onto the engine and causing a vehicle fire.

<p>Chrysler has announced a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> recall for more than 26,000 cars because of a problem with the power steering system. According to the auto maker's statement filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem could result in steering fluid spilling onto the engine and causing a vehicle fire. Some of the models included in this recall are 2010 Chrysler 300 and Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Challenger and Journey and 2011 Dodge Ram pickup trucks. <span id="more-737"></span></p>
<p>Chrysler is saying that it does not know about any <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accidents</a> or serious personal injuries that resulted from these defective vehicles. The auto maker apparently informed the government about these defects earlier this month. Once the recall begins, dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the power steering pressure hose at no charge to consumers. </p>
<p><strong>Steering Problems</strong></p>
<p>Chrysler has previously had steering issues with their vehicles. In January 2009, the auto maker recalled 32,865 of its 2008-09 Dodge Ram 2500, 3500 and 3500 cab chassis pickup trucks because of a defect that could result in loss of steering control and pose the risk of a car accident. Steering defects can be extremely dangerous because they can lead to a loss of vehicle control and cause a serious car accident. In this case, there is the added risk of a car fire.</p>
<p>Most of these auto product defects occur because of flaws in the manufacturing process or due to defective design. A lot of times, they occur because of negligence or lack of proper quality control procedures. And sadly, they also occur because auto manufacturers are constantly trying to keep costs down and increase their profits. </p>
<p><strong>Auto Product Liability Issues</strong>  </p>

<p>A man and a woman were critically injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/long-beach-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Long Beach car accident</a>, when their car went out of control and fell 40 feet off a freeway ramp the night of September 29, 2010. According to a news report in The Long Beach Press-Telegram, the major injury crash occurred on the 7th Street onramp to the 710 Freeway when a Toyota Scion went off the bridge and plummeted. A man and a woman were trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by firefighters. They were transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. Officials are looking into what caused this car accident.<span id="more-696"></span></p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the two injured victims of this Long Beach car accident. I wish them both a complete and speedy recovery from their critical injuries.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 27 people were killed and 1,881 were injured in Long Beach car accidents. In Los Angeles County as a whole, 667 fatalities and 52,229 personal injuries were reported as a result of car accidents during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Car Accident?</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not quite clear what caused this devastating car crash. There are several questions here. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the Scion, which caused the driver to lose control? Was there a dangerous roadway condition? Was another vehicle involved? Was the Scion forced off the roadway by another vehicle? I trust officials are looking into these and other factors in order to determine what occurred here.</p>
<p><strong>Claim for Compensation</strong></p>
<p>In such cases, it would be in the best interests of injured victims to seek the counsel of an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/long-beach-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Long Beach personal injury lawyer</a>, who will analyze all aspects of the incident and make sure that their legal rights are protected. It would also be a good idea to preserve the vehicle in its current crashed state, unaltered, so it can be thoroughly examined by an expert for evidence of auto product defects, design flaws and malfunctions.</p>
<p>Seriously injured in a Los Angeles car accident? Want to know if you have a case?  Want to know what your case is worth?  Want compensation for your injuries?  Want justice?  Want to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else?</p>

<p>Richard Steinberg, 50, was seriously injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-francisco-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Francisco car accident</a> after he lost control of his car and crashed on the Interstate 80. The major injury crash occurred the morning of September 6, 2010 near American Canyon Road in Vallejo. California Highway Patrol officials say Steinberg was seen speeding past traffic in the right lanes of the highway at about 90 mph. Steinberg's Saturn then veered sharply to the left and crashed into the center divide and overturned. Steinberg was transported to a local hospital with major injuries. An investigation is ongoing.<span id="more-663"></span></p>
<p>My heart goes out to this injured victim. I hope he has not sustained catastrophic injuries in this crash. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accidents</strong>   </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were eight fatalities and 463 injuries involving car accidents in Vallejo. In Solano County as a whole, 33 people died and 1,735 were injured as a result of car accidents during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Car Accident Causes</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it is not clear what caused Steinberg to lose control of the vehicle. What caused the vehicle to speed at 90 mph on the highway? Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a> or mechanical malfunction in the Saturn, which may have caused or contributed to the crash? Did Steinberg suffer a medical condition behind the wheel? I trust officials are looking at these and other issues in order to determine the cause of the accident.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Products Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>If an auto product defect caused this accident, the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective product can be held liable. Injured victims in such cases can seek compensation to cover medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation and other related damages. </p>
<p>Victims or their families would be well-advised to contact an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-francisco-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Francisco personal injury lawyer</a>, who has successfully handled auto products liability cases. It would also be a good idea in such cases to preserve the crashed vehicle, intact, so it can be examined by an expert for defects, design flaws, malfunctions and other evidence. The best personal injury law firms will always offer a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation to injured victims and their families.</p>

<p>A male driver sustained injuries in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a> the night of August 24, 2010. According to a news report in The Press Telegram, the rollover crash occurred on the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles near the West Gage Avenue off-ramp. The driver was partially ejected and trapped under his overturned car. Officials do not believe that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. An investigation will be needed to determine what caused the car accident. An investigation is ongoing.<span id="more-649"></span></p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the driver following this injury car accident. I wish him the very best for a quick and complete recovery. He will be in my prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 268 fatalities and 25,588 personal injuries were reported as a result of Los Angeles car accidents. In Los Angeles County as a whole, 667 people were killed and 52,229 were injured due to car accidents during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused This Accident?</strong></p>
<p>It is not clear at this time what caused this rollover accident. Was there a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/defective_auto_part.html" target="_blank">vehicle defect</a>, design defect or mechanical malfunction, which led to the crash? Was there a dangerous condition on the roadway, which may have caused or contributed to the accident? Were there any other vehicles involved? Based on this news report, it appears that the driver was partially ejected from the vehicle. It is not clear if he was wearing his seatbelt. I would be interested to find out if his ejection and subsequent injuries were the result of a defective seatbelt. </p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>In such cases, it is important that the vehicle involved in the crash be preserved in its current, crashed state, unaltered, so it can be thoroughly examined by an expert for vehicle defects, malfunctions, design issues and other evidence. If it is determined that the accident and/or injuries were caused by an auto product defect, then, the auto maker or the manufacturer of the defective product can be held liable for the injuries, damages and losses. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to advise injured victims about their legal rights and options. </p>
<p>A skilled car accident lawyer will also be able to determine if an unsafe condition on the roadway was a factor in the collision. If that was the case, the city or governmental agency responsible for maintaining that roadway could also be held liable. Under California Government Code section 911.2, any personal injury claim against a public entity must be filed within 180 days of the accident and injuries.</p>
<p>What are some of the most dangerous roadways in your city or neighborhood?</p>

<p>Gregory Robert Arnold, 18, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-francisco-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Francisco car accident</a> when he drove his 1996 Toyota Camry into opposing lanes of traffic and collided with a 2008 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. According to a news report in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, the fatal crash occurred the morning of August 19, 2010 on San Juan Road near San Miguel Canyon Road. Witnesses report that Arnold’s Camry was weaving in the westbound lane of traffic when it crossed over to the eastbound lane. A 16-year-old passenger in the Camry sustained major injuries as did the 24-year-old driver of the Silverado. Officials are looking into what caused the accident.<span id="more-639"></span></p>

According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), four people died and 240 were injured in <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accidents</a> in San Benito County. During the same year, there were 40 fatalities and 1,470 injuries involving car accidents in Monterey County.</p>
<p><strong>What Caused this Fatal Car Crash</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it appears that the teen driver, Arnold, for some reason, was driving erratically at the time of the collision. I trust officials are looking into whether he was under the influence, distracted, speeding or driving recklessly at the time. I trust they are also looking into whether this accident was the result of a vehicle defect or mechanical malfunction.</p>
<p><strong>Fault and Liability</strong> </p>
<p>If this crash is determined to have been Arnold's fault, then, the injured victims in this case can file a claim against his estate and liability insurance. When victims sustain major injuries, typically, they or their families are faced with a mountain of medical bills and other expenses such as loss of wages and property damage. Victims in such cases can seek compensation to cover medical expenses, lost earnings, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation, long-term care and other related damages. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-francisco-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Francisco personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to advise injured victims and their families about their legal rights and options in such cases.</p>
<p>What are some steps you take to reduce the likelihood of your teen driver getting into an accident?</p>

<p>A <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accident in Riverside</a> proved fatal for 22-year-old Dimitri Garcia and 18-year-old Emil Smith the morning of July 18, 2010. The Press-Enterprise reports that the accident occurred on Domenigoni Parkway in Hemet when Garcia, the driver of a Dodge Neon, lost control of the vehicle and crashed. <span id="more-572"></span></p>
<p>The Dodge was also hit by a minivan whose driver could not stop in time to avoid the out-of-control Neon. Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene and Smith, who was his passenger, was taken to an area hospital where he died. Hector Bonilla, 38, the driver of the minivan and his young son, did not sustain major injuries. Authorities suspect alcohol may have played a part in this fatal crash.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved these two young men. I also wish Bonilla and his son the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep these injured victims and their families in your prayers.</p>
<p><strong>DUI Statistics</strong></p>
<p>There were four fatalities and 38 injuries reported as a result of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/drunk-driving-murder.html" target="_blank">DUI collisions</a> in Hemet, California. In Riverside County as a whole, 101 people died and 1,090 were injured as a result of alcohol-related crashes during the same year. </p>
<p><strong>Laws and Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is illegal under California law. According to California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a): "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." The same section also states that it is illegal for anyone to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher.</p>
<p>In this case, I trust officials are also looking into other factors such as a vehicle defect, mechanical malfunction, speeding or reckless driving as possible causes. If Garcia is determined to have been at fault, Smith's family as well as other injured victims can claim compensation from Garcia's estate and insurance. An experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Riverside personal injury lawyer</a> will be able to advise injured victims or their families in such cases about their legal rights and options.</p>
<p>What are some of the most serious challenges faced by injured victims and their families in the aftermath of a car accident?</p>
