A pitbull attack in California ended tragically for a 2-year-old boy who has died as the result of pitbull dog bites. The pitbulls who bit the child belonged to the child’s own family, who live in the city of Concord inside Contra Costa County.

The pitbull attack involved five pitbulls, three of whom lived inside the garage of the home. At around 8:45 on Thursday morning, the young boy somehow opened the door to the family’s garage, setting three pitbulls loose into the yard.

Family Files Wrongful Death After Newhall Pass Tunnel Accident

A wrongful death lawsuit has just recently surfaced in Los Angeles Superior Court, where the family of a driver killed in Newhall Pass Tunnel has decided to sue for wrongful death. In October of 2007, Ricardo Cibrian Baltazat was fatally burned in a tunnel fire that spread through the Newhall Pass Tunnel, just north of Los Angeles.

During the accident, Baltazat became trapped in his vehicle, which was up against the east wall of the Newhall Pass Tunnel. He was trapped on all sides, which gave him no option but to secede to the fire that occurred later.

The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the defendant is guilty of negligence in the massive vehicle accident that killed Baltazar and others. In the lawsuit, the SAIA motor fright line as well as the State of California serve as defendants to the wrongful death claims. The lawsuit accuses the SAIA of causing the accident through its negligent driver, which resulted in the 34 vehicle car accident and fire that killed three and caused 17 million in property damage. The State of California is charged on the basis of its responsibility for the Newhall Pass Tunnel, which the lawsuit claims was dimly lit and maliciously curvy.

The lawsuit aims to recompense the death of Baltazar and punish SAIA and its accused negligent driver.

Even if you are unsure about your case, it is wise to receive asvice before destroying the possibility altogether.
