San Diego Woman Injured in Truck Accident

Posted on September 7, 2011 by bonnicilawgroup

A truck accident in San Diego on August 24 has left one woman with minor injuries, according to SignOnSanDiego.com.  The accident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Interstate 805 at Sweetwater Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. The accident left the woman’s car wedged underneath an 18-wheeler.  According to the truck driver, he was in the right lane when the other car “came from out of nowhere” and became lodged at a 90-degree angle. The woman was freed from the car by National City Firefighters and taken to a nearby hospital.  Traffic was closed off to clean up the wreckage. This woman is certainly lucky to have lived through this accident.  Both truckers and other drivers are responsible for sharing the roadway and driving defensively.  I hope that this near miss serves as a reminder of what can happen when you are not alert behind the wheel.

Voskanian was handed down a rather interesting sentence.  On top of being required to tour area schools educating youths on the dangers of texting while driving, the judge has banned her from ever having a phone in her car ever again.  The victim’s family members agreed with the sentence and even showed support during the process. “In this particular case, there is a tragic loss of a father of a family,” said Ashraf Mankarios…

Clarification Of Pet Owners’ Liability Under California Law

Posted on August 31, 2011 by bonnicilawgroup

California Civil Code 4432 states that dog owners are responsible for any injuries to victims in the event of a dog attack in public.  Most people believe that a dog must have shown previous signs of viciousness or aggression in order to be charged with a crime or slapped with a civil suit, but this is certainly not the case. According to Aaron Moore, contributor at ANewsCafe.com, the owner is not only responsible in the event of a dog bite, but “any injuries caused by their dog, whether as a result of a bite or some other action.”  Dog owners must be careful if they have a large or aggressive dog, even if they are generally friendly and playful in nature.  If your dog simply knocks someone over, you can still be held responsible for the ensuing injuries. The bottom line is that the actions of a dog are the…
