November 23 Highway 99 Accident in Bakersfield

November 23, 2009--Early yesterday morning a 40 year old Los Angeles man named Fredrick Scott sustained major injuries in a rear-end collision on Highway 99 near Ming Avenue. According to the Bakersfield Californian, Mike Koshkaryan, age 48 of Glendale stopped for an accident up ahead and was then rear-ended by Scott who was transported to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield.

Issues to be resolved include whether those involved in the collision up ahead may have some responsibility for this later accident. On occasion, such as during a fog multi-vehicle collision, it is helpful to determine who caused the original accident and whether later accidents were foreseeable consequences of the first mistake. Further, if it can be shown that Mr. Koshkaryan was himself speeding then his insurance may come into play. This accident occurred about 70 miles south of the Law Offices of Nelson and Rozier in Visalia. Please call us if you would like us to send an engineer to the scene of the accident to investigate these issues further. www.nelsonrozier.com

November 23 accident near Woodland kills one and injures four

On November 23 a 10-year-old girl was killed when the car she was riding in rolled while traveling on County Road 22 near Woodland. The vehicle was traveling about 85 mph when the driver lost control for unknown reasons. The driver, a female passenger, and a four-year-old girl suffered major injuries and a one-year-old boy was critically injured. The ten-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The other victims were air lifted to UC Davis Medical Center. Relatives decribed the male driver and the female passenger as boyfriend and girlfriend. The two older children belonged to the woman and the one-year-old belonged to the man. They were returning from a trip to Tulare where they picked up the one-year-old for the Thanksgiving holiday. Officers are investigating possible seat belt and child safety seat violations. Monetary compensation cannot bring back the deceased or heal the injured, but it can help to ease the pain of medical and other expenses.
