On February 2 Johnny Arias and his 11-year-old grandson Edward Hunt were injured when the four-wheeler they were on crashed near Porterville. Reportedly Arias was driving west on South Reservation Road at a high rate of speed with his grandson seated behind him when they began to pass a slower moving vehicle. The other vehicle then began to turn left. Arias swerved to the left to avoid an accident. The four-wheeler then left the roadway. The quad then hit a traffic sign and a barbed wire fence. Both Arias and Hunt were thrown from the quad. Neither person was wearing a helmet. They were both taken to Sierra View District Hospital to be treated for major injuries. Hunt was later taken via air to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
Our office currently has a $3 million claim demand pending on a quad case involving a claimant who lost his leg. Issues in that case involve whether speed was excessive, whether the size of the ATV was appropriate, and issues of negligent supervision. Please call us if you would like me to take a look at your case. Attorney John Rozier in Visalia on Caldwell. 559-713-0159. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

Foggy road near Delano leads to wrongful death of Wasco man
February 2, 2010--According to the Bakersfield Californian newspaper, Tuesday's fatal crash between a truck and a big rig took place in heavy tule fog near Delano. The decedent was identified as 34 year old Moises Vargas Gonzalez of Wasco. He was driving northbound on Highway 43 when a big rig driven by Casimiro Casares made a left turn in front of him.
This is very similar to another case handled by our office where we were able to collect a substantial settlement from the left turning truck in a fog accident. In that other case the police report also blamed the driver who had the right of way. By looking at the black box data in the air bag module, and by hiring an accident engineer we found a bend in the road which contributed to the accident and otherwise were able to show that the tanker driver should not have made his turn at that location.
If hired by the family of Moises Vargas Gonzalez we will do a similar investigation to see if shared liability can be shown. Please call his family to offer our services. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

February 2 wrongful death accident in Bakersfield at Ashe Road and Panama Lane kills Michelle Maxwell
On February 2 Michelle Maxwell was killed in a wrongful death accident at Panama Lane and Ashe Road in Bakersfield. Michelle Maxwell was riding in the passenger seat of a Hyundai driven by her 15-year-old daughter, Michaela Maxwell. They were traveling north on Ashe Road, having just turned off of Panama Lane, when the car was hit on the passenger side by a Ford F-150 pickup. The pickup was driven by Mitchell Green. Reportedly Green had run a red light. There was no sign of the truck having braked at all before the crash.
The crash caused Green's pickup to hit a power pole and catch fire. Other motorists pulled Green from the burning vehicle before emergency crews arrived. The power pole was severed as a result of the crash. This knocked out power to 4,600 customers.
Michaela Maxwell suffered many injuries as a result of the crash. She underwent surgery for a broken wrist, broken leg and facial and stomach bruises. Michelle Maxwell is remembered as a wife and mother who served her community and loved babies.
Green's injuries were originally listed as moderate, but later he was listed in critical condition at Kern Medical Center and was later transferred to Fresno Community Regional Medical Center. Green, an off-duty fire fighter, is said to have been drunk at the time of the accident. He will be booked into jail with charges of vehicular manslaughter and felony drunken driving.
The attorneys of Nelson and Rozier send their condolences out to the Maxwell Family. While monetary compensation cannot bring back the deceased it can help to cover the final expenses of Mrs. Maxwell as well as pay for medical bills and pain and suffering for Michaela Maxwell.
