Car Hits Bus Bench, 3 Injured in LA Crash

Have you seen cars flying around the block and crashing into bus bench? - Seems like an action flick for movies, but lately the Koreatown experienced the suspense in a real-life scene.

On Wednesday morning, a car was traveling in 3300 block of W. 8th Street when it ran the red light and crashed into another car. The collision caused one of the cars to jump the curb and struck two people at the bus bench. The two pedestrians and one of the motorists suffered serious injuries and were transported to a local hospital.

The authorities are still investigating the details on the cause of accident.

Rapper Lil Wayne Suffers Cuts after LA Skateboarding Accident

Grammy Awardee Lil Wayne cannot miss out a perfect rhyme, but he can slip and fall on his skateboard head first.

The master rapper suffered cuts on his forehead after falling off his skateboard and hitting his head on the pavement of Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Sunday, according to reports.

Reports said Wayne was rushed to DePaul Health Center, where doctors administered nine stitches on his head. He was listed in stable condition and was expected to recover shortly after.
The hip-hop artist plans to pursue with his performance on Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. He will also launch his new album, The Carter IV, after the show.

The admired rapper may have been fearless while navigating through the slopes of Verizon pavement. He might have realized his imperfect skateboarding skills when he saw the blood flowing from his face. Fortunately enough, the paramedics arrived on time to rescue him.

Skateboarding accident often occurs among young people who are an avid fan of the sport. The skater either loses balance or hits a road obstruction, resulting to cuts and bruises. At times, a simple blunt on the head can lead to internal injuries. The symptoms may not surface immediately, but may become evident after several months.

By all means, a skater who has suffered head injuries after a fall should seek consistent medical examination to track any complications.

The injured victim may also assert legal action against the owner of the facility, if the accident is caused by the building’s unsafe environment or an existing hazard.

Teen Driver Plows Chevy Tahoe into Artesia House

What could have occurred between stealing a SUV and crashing into an Artesia home at dawn?
Whether it is street racing with friends or driving under the influence (DUI), the homeowners well know that their house was broken.

Teen driving at dawn is usual along Los Angeles streets especially during summer break. Teenagers engage in road race and night partying that precedes vehicle crashes.

Take the case of Martins' family when a teen driver crashed a stolen Chevy Tahoe into their Los Angeles home on Tuesday at 2:25 a.m.

According to reports, a young motorist was traveling on 183rd Street and Clarkdale Avenue intersection when the SUV slammed into the house. The homeowners were at home, but were not hurt in the accident.

Los Angeles police officers arrested the young boy, but his identity was not released because he is a minor.
Virgina and Joe Martins, the homeowners, said that their house's fence has been struck four times, but the front door was struck once. The couple commented that the property has insurance and they will assert coverage for the damage. The family has been staying in the house for 40 years.
Building inspectors are assessing the safety of the house.

Because the accused is a teenager, the litigation process for his robbery and vehicle accident is different than that of adult’s. The court may summon the boy’s parents and determine their responsibility for the accident. The boy may face penalties such as hours of community service and rehabilitation.

If the insurer is cooperative enough to cover the property damage, the couple may give a sigh of relief. The boy’s parents may also negotiate with the other party on how to settle the matter.

Teen Driver Killed in Angeles Crest Highway Serial Crash

The Angeles Crest Highway might have really lost its safe image since the Station fire.
The infamous fire accident has caused the once-esteemed freeway to shut down and undergo a 16-month repair. However, the succeeding LA heavy rains have aggravated the road condition.

Just a month after the re-opening of Angeles Crest Highway, four vehicle accidents have occurred and harmed a number of motorists. Recently, an 18-year-old driver suffered the pangs of LA road mishap when his car swerved and overturned on the highway.

On Saturday, Aaron Martinez was traveling on the Angeles Crest Highway when he lost control on the wheels. The car rolled over and caused him critical injuries. Los Angeles rescue officials arrived and extracted him from the car, but they found him lifeless, reports said.

Authorities are now conducting further investigation to determine the cause of accident.

Burned debris from the Angeles Crest Highway have been further washed by the So-Cal heavy rains and added more damage to the road. The deteriorating condition of this freeway has seemed unredeemable by ordinary means of repair.  The LA officials may have not corrected the road hazard much to the disappointment of motorists.

Car accidents caused by poor road condition can be blamed on city officials. This apportionment of negligence to government can be classified as a premises liability suit. Drivers and surviving family members can file the claim and recover damages for losses.

Filing a premises liability lawsuit against the government can be difficult. This is because city officials can assert maximum legal defense to nullify claims. However, if you have sufficient evidence to prove that the road has design defect or has poor condition; you can pursue the suit and receive payment for medical expenses and emotional loss.

You may present police reports, medical records, and witness statement to substantiate your claim. For more information on premises liability lawsuit, you may consult with a lawyer in Los Angeles. Dial 1-866-998-2545 or email us at info@mesriani.com for a free case analysis.

3 People Hurt after Hit-and-Run Crash in Downtown LA

Leaving the accident scene after you hit somebody can bring you more trouble than relief.

If fright crumples your whole body after seeing blood from the victim's leg, pause and take a deep breath first. Do your best to act objectively by prioritizing the medical needs of the injured person. You can then call emergency personnel who can transport the victim to a nearby hospital.

Informing authorities of the accident allows you to clarify your version of events. It also allows you to avoid imprisonment by presenting proof of financial responsibility. You see, it is not that scary after all.

However, if you allow your fears to overcome you, you will see yourself running towards legal mishaps.

Take the example of an Audi car driver who struck three pedestrians and fled the scene afterwards at Downtown, Los Angeles on Sunday.

According to reports, the driver was traveling on 11th and Hill Streets when the car hit three people and a parked vehicle. The motorist then fled the accident scene.

Rescuers arrived and rushed the injured victims to a local hospital. Witnesses commented that the car sustained damage on the windshield. Los Angeles police officers are investigating the accident.

If the driver stopped and helped the victims acquire medical treatment, police officers may not be searching for his whereabouts right now. 

Failure to stop and identify oneself at the accident scene is a violation of traffic law and they carry penalties before the court. These acts aggravate current charges as well as potential damages.

However, if the driver intended to hurt the victims, he will probably flee without leaving any trace with regard to his whereabouts. Sadly, a planned act carries more stringent penalties before the court.

Adult Day Care Van Crash Injures 15 Senior Citizens

Elderly people are highly susceptible to injuries during a vehicle accident. More so, a slight damage to legs or head can result to complications or lead to serious injuries.

Because senior citizens do not have the strong recuperation ability of young ones, even injuries from a minor fender bender crash may require long medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Recently, 15 elderly persons were injured in a van accident in San Fernando Valley. The adult day care van that they were riding in was struck another car. At least eight seniors were transported to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The rest of the elder passengers were treated at the scene, according to reports.

Even though the senior citizens sustained only minor injuries, their medical condition may aggravate if they have existing illness or impairment. More so, worsening damage to the head and other body parts may not manifest symptoms until later years. This means elderly people who are hurt in a collision needs consistent medical monitoring and care.

Such case also means heightened responsibility for the other driver to face the legal consequences of the accident. This can be in the form of giving medical coverage through insurance among the injured elders.

The involved driver, if he or she has some share of fault in the fender bender crash, may also offer a settlement sum. This financial aid may help the seniors gain access to better medical treatment and nursing home services.

However, if the other party is confident that he or she has obeyed all traffic laws at the time of crash, the court may nullify claims for damages.

Drowsy Driver Hits LAPD Cars, Two Critically Injured

When you go to sleep, you always hope for a beautiful dream. However, if you sleep at the wrong place and at the wrong time, you only get nightmares. This is what happened to a 64-year-old woman driver when she fell asleep while behind the wheel.

According to reports, the car driven by a female motorist crashed into two Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) patrol cars in Woodland Hills. The car accident left the two police officers in critical condition, and two others sustained minor injuries.

Police reports said that the two LAPD cars were parked at Fallbrook Avenue when a black Jaguar hit the two police vehicles. According to investigation findings, the woman driver who incurred minor injuries is believed to have fallen asleep while driving.

It is obvious that driving while sleepy can pose threats to other road users. The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted studies on drowsy driving in 2004. Here are some of the findings from the research:

•    People aged 18 to 29 are more likely to drive while sleepy compared to other age groups
•    Male drivers are more likely to drive while drowsy compared to women
•    People who sleep for six to seven hours a day are two times more likely to be involved in a car accident than those people who get eight hours of sleep

People who get hurt in a car accident due to drowsy driving can file for compensation claims against the involved driver. It is the legal duty of the liable driver to provide compensation for the damage and loss that he or she had cost the victim.
