Victims in Fiery I-5 Crash Appear to Have Been Related

ANorman — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:30:28 +0000

In an update to the recent SUV rollover accident in Mission Veijo that produced five fatalities, the victims have been identified and appear to have been related. Among them were three female children and 2 adults who were confirmed to live in San Pedro. The tragic SUV accident occurred this past Tuesday after a Chevrolet Tracker blew a tir, weaved across lanes of traffic then tumbled down a steep embankment on the southbound I-5 freeway at La Paz Road. Authorities are still awaiting dental record to officially confirm the deceased, but gleaned who the car belonged to by the vehicles registration. The SUV was also taken to a forensics lab to determine the cause of the wreck. One of the things they will look for is mechanical failure.

It is almost impossible not to feel a tug on the heartstrings when one hears of such a tragedy, especially when kids are involved. The surviving family members will also be left to mourn not one death but five. If investigators determine that a mechanical failure occurred because of a defective auto design, they would be more than well within their rights to pursue litigation against the automaker.

No one should wake up to the news that their loved one has passed on due to someone else’s negligence. When this happens, victims have the right to pursue the matter in court. Contact us today for a free wrongful death case assessment and hold those responsible for your family member’s death accountable for their actions.

Fiery Rollover Crash Results in 5 Fatalities

ANorman — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:51:53 +0000

Five people died in Mission Viejo after a rollover accident that ended in a fiery crash. According to authorities, a Chevy Tracker plunged off of the I-5 freeway at La Paz Road around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning and exploded into a massive fire ball. The five victims that were pulled from the charred wreckage were unable to be identified at press time because they were burnt beyond recognition.

It appears that the Chevrolet Tracker was traveling southbound on I-5 when it rolled over after it blew a tire and subsequently veered across several lanes. The vehicle hit a road sign then began tumbling down a steep hill. It finally stopped after crashing through a fence and hitting it tree, where it burst into flames.

The Chevy Tracker, like many SUV’s, was noted to have one of the worst safety records in its class. It is also well known that rollover accidents have a fatality rate that is six times the reported average of all other types of autos on the road today. This is because of roof crush, an incident where the roof caves in upon impact. Roof crush is considered a manufacturer’s defect that usually happens after rollover accidents. The fact that vehicles are still made with this defect is unacceptable. If you have lost a loved one due to a manufacturer’s disregard for public safety you can sue the negligent automaker via product liability litigation. This type of lawsuit protects consumers and holds businesses accountable when a faulty product results in a wrongful death. Call us today and set up a free case evaluation with wrongful death attorneys that understand your needs and will fight hard to ensure you receive justice.

Van Rollover Accidents – Know Your Legal Rights California Lawyers

Legal Staff — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:38:46 +0000

15-passenger vans are a popular vehicle for employees’ carpooling, church groups, and other associations. However, they are also an especially dangerously-designed vehicle. The vans are top heavy, causing them to rollover if the driver makes a quick, violent turn to avoid an accident or object in the road, or if the driver falls asleep and the van veers off the road, hits a berm or a bump on the side of the road and rolls over. The roof may not be strong enough to keep from collapsing, increasing the severity of injuries to the passengers.

If the van is not full, all passengers should sit as close to the front as possible. Also, if the van is going a long distance, the occupants should split driving duties so the driver does not become too exhausted. However, only persons with experience driving a 15-passenger van should take control of the wheel.
