Cirila Guzman, 76, was killed in a Los Angeles car accident, which officials say may have involved a suspected drunk driver. According to a news report in The San Gabriel Valley Tribune, the fatal pedestrian accident occurred on January 26, 2012 at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Dalton Avenue in Azusa. Guzman suffered major head trauma and died from her injuries.

Police booked the driver, 74-year-old Luis Sanchez, on suspicion of DUI causing injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. However, he has been released this week after the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office sent the case back to police for further investigation. Officials are waiting for the results of a blood alcohol test. Officials say they plan to present their case to the DA once more evidence has been gathered.

I offer my deepest condolences to the family members and friends of Cirila Guzman for their tragic and heartbreaking loss. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Pedestrian Accident Statistics

According to California Highway Patrol's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were two fatalities and 13 injuries involving pedestrian accidents in Azusa. In Los Angeles County as a whole, 179 people died and 4,918 were injured due to pedestrian accidents, during the same year.

Gross Vehicular Manslaughter

Based on this news report, it appears that the driver who struck Guzman may have been under the influence of alcohol. Under California Vehicle Code Section 23152, it is illegal to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. A driver whose act of driving under the influence results in the death of another will likely face vehicular manslaughter charges.

California Penal Code Section 191.5 (a) states: "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."

Claim for Compensation

If it is determined that Sanchez was at fault, then, in addition to facing criminal charges, he can be held financially responsible for Guzman's wrongful death. In cases where negligence is involved, the family of a deceased victim can file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, loss of love and companionship, and other related damages. An experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyer will advise victims and their families in such cases about their legal rights and options. .

A 78-year-old woman was killed in a Los Angeles car accident, which officials say, involved a suspected drunk driver. According to a City News Service report, the woman was a passenger in a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass, which crashed in the northbound lanes of the 110 Freeway near Redondo Beach Boulevard, early morning on November 26, 2011. The woman was pronounced dead shortly after the collision at an area hospital. The driver of the Oldsmobile, 61-year-old James Eddie Bailey, was under the influence when he swerved the car into a guardrail and then a freeway sign pole. Bailey was treated for minor injuries and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence.

I offer my heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of the woman who was killed in this DUI collision. Please keep this grieving family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanksgiving Crash and DUI Statistics

According to the report, this is the lone fatality in Los Angeles County during the early part of the four-day Thanksgiving holiday. During the same period in 2010, according to California Highway Patrol officials, there were six fatalities in Los Angeles County. Also, in Los Angeles County, CHP officials arrested 303 motorists on suspicion of DUI this year – which is up from 276 DUI arrests last year. Statewide, there were 1,350 drunk driving arrests compared to last year's count of 1,419. Also, statewide, 21 deaths have been reported this year during the weekend compared to 12 fatalities last year.

California DUI Laws

It is illegal under California law to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. 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." A motorist whose act of driving under the influence results in the death of another person will likely face vehicular manslaughter charges under California Penal Code Section 191.5 (a).

Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable

In this particular case, if Bailey is determined to have been at fault, he can be held civilly liable for the victim's wrongful death in addition to facing criminal charges. Families of deceased victims can seek compensation in such cases for medical expenses, funeral costs, and other damages. An experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, who has successfully pursued drunk drivers financially on behalf of victims and their families can better advise them about their legal rights and options.

At least two people were injured in a Thousand Oaks car accident, which officials say, involved a suspected drunk driver. According to a news report in The Ventura County Star, the injury collision occurred at the intersection of Erbes Road and Hillcrest Drive the afternoon of June 11, 2011. Two vehicles were involved in the crash. The driver of one of the vehicles, 34-year-old Shelia Figueroa, was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving. Her male passenger was extricated from the vehicle and transported to a local hospital. The extent of the other driver's injuries is not clear. An investigation is ongoing.

My heart goes out to the injured passenger in this case. I wish him the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep this victim in your prayers.

DUI Statistics

According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were five fatalities and 62 injuries involving alcohol-related crashes in Thousand Oaks. In Ventura County as a whole, 27 people died and 475 were injured as a result of DUI collisions during the same year.

DUI Laws in California

Based on this news report, it is not clear whether this street intersection collision occurred because Figueroa failed to stop for a red light or failed to yield right-of-way to the other vehicle. But officials are saying that she was under the influence at the time. It is illegal under California law to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

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 to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher.

Liability Issues

If Figueroa is determined to have been at fault for this accident, she could not only be criminally prosecuted, but also held financially responsible for the injuries and damages caused. Injured victims can seek compensation for all medical expenses, lost wages, cost of hospitalization, and rehabilitation. An experienced Ventura personal injury lawyer will advise injured victims in such cases about their legal rights and options.

A man was killed in a San Diego car accident involving a hit-and-run driver. According to a news report in The San Diego Union-Tribune, the fatal pedestrian accident occurred on the Interstate 8 in the College Area of San Diego the early morning of April 9, 2011. The victim was a passenger in a Ford Ranger pickup truck that had crashed into the center divider.

The passenger then exited the pickup after the collision and was on the roadway, when he was struck by a small sized Toyota or Nissan and thrown over the center divider. The driver of the vehicle that fatally struck the man left the scene of the crash. Authorities suspect that the driver of the pickup crashed into the center divider because he was under the influence of alcohol. Police are still looking for the hit-and-run driver.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of the man killed in this fatal hit-and-run car accident. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.

San Diego Pedestrian Accident Statistics

According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 23 people were killed and 533 were injured in San Diego pedestrian accidents. During that same year, San Diego County pedestrian accidents claimed 63 lives and injured 998 people.

California Law Relating to Hit-And-Run Accidents

It appears that the man was in a lane of traffic following a DUI collision. This does not, however, excuse the driver of the other vehicle from causing the fatal pedestrian accident or for leaving the scene of the accident. California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident." To leave a critically injured person lying on the roadway shows a callous disregard for a human life.

Authorities are searching for the driver and vehicle involved in this crash. If you have any information about this accident, please visit our web site www.hitandrunreward.com. Our site allows witnesses to provide an anonymous tip and also become eligible to receive a $1,000 reward.

Liability Issues

An experienced San Diego personal injury lawyer can help the family of a deceased car accident victim better understand how their own car insurance might apply in such a case.

Authorities in Ventura County have arrested the owner of a burger place in connection with a fatal hit-and-run car accident in downtown Ventura, which they say, killed 24-year-old Ryan Tremearne. According to a news report in the Ventura County Star, the fatal car accident occurred early morning on April 3, 2011 near Poli and Fir streets.

Police have arrested 36-year-old Robert Jack Bell on suspicion of driving under the influence, gross vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run. Authorities have not said how they determined Bell, the owner of the recently-closed Top Hat Burger Palace in Ventura, was the hit-and-run driver. Ryan Tremearne's body was found with blunt force injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle, the report states. An investigation is ongoing into this fatal DUI collision.

I offer my deepest condolences to the family members and friends of Ryan Tremearne for their tragic and heartbreaking loss. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Possible Violation of Several Laws

Based on this news report, officials are saying that Bell was under the influence when he struck and fatally injured Ryan Tremearne and then fled the scene. There is absolutely no excuse, in my opinion, for fleeing the scene of an injury crash and leaving someone to die on the street. If Bell is found guilty of the charges, he should be held criminally as well as civilly liable for Tremearne's wrongful death.

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." A driver whose act of driving under the influence results in the death of another will likely face vehicular manslaughter charges under California Penal Code Section 191.5 (a), as Bell does in this case.
In addition, officials say he fled the scene of a fatal car accident. California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident."

Protecting Victims' Rights

In such cases, it would be in the best interests of victims' families to retain the services of an experienced Ventura personal injury lawyer, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and make sure that their legal rights are protected. In cases where negligence or wrongdoing is involved, families of deceased car accident victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, loss of love and companionship, and other related damages.

Beth Willens, 50, was injured in a San Francisco area car accident, which police say, involved a driver under the influence of alcohol. According to The Novato Patch, the DUI collision occurred on Highway 101 in San Rafael the night of March 3, 2011. California Highway Patrol officials say 25-year-old Shiloh McGillicuddy lost control of his 2002 Saturn and crashed into the center median. The initial collision triggered a chain-reaction accident involving a total of eight vehicles. Willens was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. It is unclear if anyone else was injured. Police arrested McGillicuddy on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

My heart goes out to the injured victim, Beth Willens. I wish her the very best for a complete and speedy recovery from her injuries. It is indeed fortunate that no one sustained critical injuries in this suspected DUI collision.

Car Accident Statistics

According to CHP’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities, but 326 injuries reported due to San Rafael car accidents. During that same year, there were seven fatalities and 1,152 injuries reported involving Marin County car accidents.

California DUI Laws

If this news report is accurate, police believe that the driver who triggered this car accident was under the influence of alcohol. 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 to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher.

Liability Issues

Victims of car accidents involving multiple parties would be well advised to seek legal guidance from a skilled San Francisco personal injury lawyer, who will fight for their rights and protect their best interests. Whenever multiple insurance companies are involved, it is common for claims to be disputed or passed from one company to the next. A knowledgeable lawyer can help advise injured victim throughout this process. An experienced car accident lawyer should also inform victims about how their own car insurance policy applies to an incident where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.

An 18-year-old passenger identified as Luis Camacho sustained fatal injuries in what officials say was a DUI collision in Porterville the evening of August 23, 2010. The Porterville Recorder reports that the fatal crash happened at the intersection of Avenue 228 and Road 36 when the 18-year-old Victor Anguiano, driving a Chevy Astro van, ran a stop sign and broadsided a truck driven by Valentin Ramirez, 37. He and his passenger escaped unscathed. Anguiano is facing felony DUI and gross vehicular manslaughter charges.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to everyone who knew and loved Luis Camacho. They will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm relieved to hear the other driver and his passenger were unharmed. This collision could definitely have been a lot worse.

Underage Drinking

According to statistics from the National Institute of Health, each year, about 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking. Of those, about 1,900 die as a result of car accidents. In Tulare County, 21 people died and 214 were injured in 2008 as a result of alcohol-related crashes, according to California Highway Patrol's traffic accident statistics.

DUI and Vehicular Manslaughter

It is illegal for anyone below the age of 21 to consume alcohol. It is against the law for any one to drive a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher under California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a). A driver whose act of driving under the influence results in the death of another will likely face vehicular manslaughter charges under California Penal Code section 191.5 (a). In addition, Anguiano also drove through a stop sign, which is a serious traffic violation under California Vehicle Code section 21802 (a).

Liability Issues

In drunk driving cases, drivers who are found guilty not only face criminal charges, but can also be held financially responsible for the injuries, damages and losses caused. Injured victims or families of DUI victims would be well-advised to contact an experienced California personal injury lawyer, who will advise them about their legal rights and options.

At least two people were injured in a DUI collision the night of July 8, 2010 in Glenn County, the Chico Enterprise Record reports. California Highway Patrol officials say the injury crash occurred on Highway 32, when 23-year-old Jacob Michael Peterson who was driving west in a 1997 Nissan Altima tried to make a U-turn ahead of a 2002 Chevy pickup truck. The 50-year-old driver of the pickup was reportedly not hurt. Peterson and his two passengers sustained minor injuries. Peterson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

I sincerely hope the two victims of this crash did not sustain major injuries. I wish them the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.

DUI Statistics

According to CHP's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities, but two injuries reported due to DUI collisions in Glenn County. Also, countywide, nine people died and 114 were injured as a result of car accidents during the same year.

Car Accident Laws
Under California law, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. 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."
According to this news report, the collision occurred when Peterson was making a U-turn. California Vehicle Code Section 21801 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left or to complete a U-turn upon a highway, or to turn left into public or private property, or an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching from the opposite direction which are close enough to constitute a hazard at any time during the turning movement, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to the approaching vehicles until the left turn or U-turn can be made with reasonable safety."

Liability Issues

Had the driver of the pickup truck been injured in the accident here, she could have sought compensation from the at-fault driver for medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of hospitalization, physical therapy and other related damages. Injured passengers in these types of accidents can also seek compensation for injuries and damages where there is negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the driver. A knowledgeable California personal injury lawyer will also be able to advise injured victims and their families about how their auto insurance policy applies to an incident involving an at-fault driver who is uninsured or underinsured.

Two suspected drunk drivers were arrested in connection with a San Diego car accident that resulted in six injuries. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the collision occurred early morning on March 11, 2010 on the Interstate 805. The series of collisions began when 34-year-old Francis Rolan Samson Bueno, who was driving a Saturn, lost control and crashed into the median wall. A Nissan Sentra being driven by 23-year-old Emmanuel Zapien then struck the Saturn. Both Bueno and Zapien were arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and were injured in this DUI collision.

Several Injured in Car Accident

This was when a Good Samarian, 33-year-old Sean Daniel Franklin, got off his car and tried to direct traffic by placing flares on the roadway. Franklin was struck by a BMW and sustained major injuries. The BMW fled the scene. The fourth crash occurred when Eduardo Michael Diaz, who was unable to stop in time to avoid the traffic ahead, crashed into an unknown vehicle. The driver of that vehicle also drove off without stopping. Diaz sustained major injuries in the collision. Five of the motorists involved were hospitalized with major injuries. Police are looking for the two hit-and-run drivers.

I sincerely hope the victims who have sustained major injuries in this crash, especially Franklin and Diaz, recover quickly and completely from their injuries. I trust that the hit-and-run drivers in this case will soon be apprehended and brought to justice.

Claim for Compensation

Both, driving under the influence, and hit-and-run are serious crime under California law. It is against the law to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. Also, leaving the scene of an accident without providing identification and insurance information or helping the injured victims is a serious violation of the law.

The injured victims in this case, especially Franklin and Diaz, would be well-advised to consult an experienced San Diego personal injury lawyer, who will stay on top of what may prove to be a complicated investigation, and make sure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. A knowledgeable car accident lawyer should also be able to advise victims about how their car insurance policy applies to a hit-and-run crash or to an incident that involves an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

A March 1, 2010 Orange County car accident that injured an elderly couple was caused by a suspected drunk driver who is also an Orange County Sheriff's deputy. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the crash injured Benjamin and Dolores Molina. Deputy Allan James Waters was driving his 2008 Mercedes erratically on the Street of the Golden Lantern, in Laguna Niguel, when he made an unsafe turn to the right striking the Molinas' Toyota. The car crashed into a tree. Dolores Molina was hospitalized with injuries.

Second Crash of the Night

Apparently, this was not Waters' first accident that day. The officer who was already on paid administrative leave had crashed into a Lexus just 33 minutes before hitting the Molinas' Toyota. A sheriff's deputy took a report and sent the drivers on the way. The department is now looking into whether officers missed signs of intoxication in Waters during the earlier crash or whether they gave their co-worker a break. After the second crash involving the Molinas, Waters was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. An investigation is underway.

My heart goes out to Benjamin and Dolores Molina. I hope their injuries were not serious and I wish them the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. They will be in my prayers. Apparently, another driver was following Waters and called 911 because she was concerned about his erratic driving. Sadly, the DUI collision involving the Molinas occurred before help arrived.

DUI Laws in California

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." The same code section also states that it is illegal for any person with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or more to drive a vehicle.

Liability Issues

Based on this report, the sheriff's deputy was not on duty. But it is puzzling why he was let go barely a half hour before he drove erratically and caused this accident, which could have been deadly for the Molinas. I would urge the Orange County Sheriff's Department to thoroughly investigate this case and hold anyone who was negligent responsible. I hope Waters is held civilly and criminally responsible for his actions. An experienced Orange County personal injury lawyer will be able to advise the Molinas about their legal rights and options.

A knowledgeable car accident lawyer will also advise victims about how their car insurance policy applies to an incident involving an uninsured or underinsured driver. If the Sheriff's Department is determined to have been responsible for letting a suspected drunk driver go, they could be held liable as well. Any claim against a governmental agency must be filed within 180 days of the accident or injury, under California law.
