A 22-year old Redlands woman was killed in Yucaipa when, for unknown reasons, she drifted into oncoming traffic.
A driver, who was unable to stop to avoid the woman’s vehicle, collided head-on with her. The accident is under investigation to determine what caused the woman to drift into oncoming traffic. Was she drunk? Was she too tired to be driving? Did her vehicle malfunction? These are questions the investigation team will be asking.
Head-on accidents are among the worst kind of accident on the roads today. Injuries are often very serious and can result in permanent disability or even death, such as this incident.
If you are injured in a head-on collision and the accident was not your fault, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, damages, and medical expenses. If a death occurred, the family of the person killed may be entitled to compensation.
Today many seniors and disabled people are getting on with their lives by using a motorized scooter.
If a motorized scooter comes to you with a manufacturer’s defect or has not been properly maintained, it can cause serious harm, including catastrophic and fatal injuries. A manufacturer has the responsibility to ensure that their products are designed and manufactured appropriately; they must make sure that there are warnings prominently placed to caution potential users of any possible dangers.
If a defect occurs, it can result in severe spinal cord or brain injuries. Worst case scenario is long-term paralysis or death.
If you have been injured because of a defective motorized scooter or electric wheelchair, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering and medical expenses. Contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product liability cases, will explain your legal options, and will fight for your rights.
