Accident Involving a Lexus Causes Head Trauma, Injury

An accident on the corner of Harvard Avenue and Center Drive culminated in a head injury after a woman was hit by a Lexus. The car accident occurred just after  10 p.m.  shortly after the woman attempted to cross Irvine Center Drive.  Before she could get to the other side of the street, she was struck by a Lexus ES 350 sedan that was heading west. Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the accident.  At press time, the woman was  said  to have sustained head injury but the severity of the injury was not known.

When a pedestrian knock down accident like the one above occurs, legally speaking the vehicle driver is  almost always at fault.  This is because pedestrians have the right-of-way, even if they are jaywalking.  Of course, certain behaviors may mitigate a driver’ culpability, but the fact remains that vigilant drivers will most likely avoid hitting a pedestrian.

When you or a loved one has been hurt in a pedestrian crosswalk accident, you may need the assistance of a qualified personal injury lawyer.  If so, contact the law offices of Slaughter and Slaughter today for a free consultation.  We just may be able to help you obtain financial compensation for your accident related injuries.

Child and Adult taken to Hospital after School Bus vs. Car crash

A school bus and car accident in Anaheim resulted in one adult and one child being taken to local hospitals. Although the injuries noted were minor, authorities and paramedics at the scene advised medical exams as a precaution because of the violence of the collision. The accident transpired  earlier today at the intersection of Broadway and Olive Street after a white Toyota Camry, which was traveling  northbound, broadsided an Anaheim City School district bus.  There was only one child inside the bus at the time and both bus driver and passenger appeared unharmed.  The child was later picked up from the hospital by their parent–the Camry driver was evaluated at a local medical center.

It is thankful that authorities at the scene did not take it for granted that no one was hurt after the car  accident.  Far too often people can appear to be okay and later succumb to hard to diagnose internal injuries.  In some of these instances, people have died.  If people were injured in the accident, fault would have to be determined. Once liability is established,  those who were seriously hurt could file a personal injury lawsuit against  the negligent party.

Does this sound like a scenario you have recently been  involved in?  Then call our law offices today to set up a free legal consultation.  Our personal injury lawyers understand what you are going through and will fight to ensure you get the money you need for your injuries.  Call now and  obtain the financial compensation you need for medical related costs and to protect your family’s financial future.

Ortega Highway Re-Opened after a Car Fire that Injured 3 People

An Ortega Highway car crash resulted in  three serious injuries, with one hurt motorist being airlifted via helicopter to a local area hospital. The motorist and passengers were the apparent victims of a solo car accident that ended in a car fire.  Although the car fire itself was doused quickly, all three passengers inside the car reported personal injury but only one was airlifted to a medical center.  The collision occurred 11 miles east of the I-5 and was reported around 12:05 p.m. Traffic on Ortega was shut down until 1:40 P.M.

As with all solo automobile wrecks the assumption will be that the driver did something  to cause the accident themselves.  While this is certainly true a good portion of the time, there are other issues, like faulty car parts, that can  cause a solo car wreck as well. A thorough investigation can pinpoint the the cause.  If  the collision turns out to be due to an auto defect, injuries parties can sue the automaker via a product liability claim.
