A motorcycle versus auto accident caused by a suspected drunk driver in the Morongo Valley on October 19, 2008 sent four people to the hospital with injuries. According to the Hi-Desert Star, the injured victims were Marco Garcia, 24 and Erica Jacome, 20, both of National City; Toni Bahe, 32, and Adam Carsner, 38, both of Long Beach. The suspected drunk driver, 35-year-old Carlos Rodriguez of Long Beach was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving.

California Highway Patrol officials said Rodriguez was driving his 2001 Honda westbound on the Twentynine Palms Highway. He was just west of North Star Trail when he rear-ended a 2007 Suzuki motorcycle driven by Garcia. Both Garcia and his passenger, Jacome were thrown from the motorcycle onto the roadway. Both were injured but were able to make it to the shoulder. Rodriguez as well as his passengers, Bahe and Carsner, also suffered moderate injuries.

It’s a relief that Marco Garcia and Erica Jacome were not critically or fatally injured in this 10/19/08 auto accident. This could have turned out a lot worse. I wish them, as well as the other injured victims, a speedy recovery. I hope Rodriguez is held criminally and civilly responsible for this accident that caused injury to all these victims.

Blaise Meadows, 20, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Andrew Parker, 46, of Lake Forest who died in an Orange County rollover accident earlier this year. According to an October 10, 2008 news report in The Orange County Register, Parker lost control of his Alfa Romeo after it was struck from behind by Meadows, who was allegedly racing down the 241 toll road with another rider.

Court records show that Meadows had been cited four times for speeding between November 2005 and June 2007. Orange County prosecutors say Meadows was driving on a suspended license at the time of the 4/25/08 Orange County fatal auto accident. Parker suffered fatal injuries after the crash’s impact which caused his Alfa Romeo to flip over several times on the highway.

My heart goes out to Parker’s family. I pray that they get the justice they deserve and that Meadows is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I had blogged on this incident when it was first reported earlier in April. Meadows’ street-racing in this case was not only illegal but a negligent and irresponsible act that demonstrated a callous disregard for public safety.

If you were injured in the recent Chatsworth Train Accident or if you lost a loved one, you might need the advice of an experienced California train accident lawyer. Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, with more than 30 years of experience fighting for the rights of the seriously injured, have successfully represented clients injured in railroad accidents, Metrolink train collisions, and train crashes throughout California.

Since the tragic Chatsworth Metrolink train accident on September 12th, the attorneys at Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys have been investigating the legal rights of the injured and their families. Although initial reports appear to place the blame on a lone engineer, the National Transportation Safety Board is still conducting its investigation, and as in all complex railroad accident cases like this one, there are many facts and variables that will need to be considered before a cause can be found.

While our immediate attention and concern is focused on the victims of the Chatsworth train accident and their families, it is important that measures be taken to insure that train accidents like these do not occur in the future. Automatic control systems can be implemented on commuter trains that override mistakes by human operators to prevent train collisions and overspeed accidents. Additionally, railroads should be required to use scientifically based principles when assigning work schedules for train crewmembers, which consider factors that impact sleep needs, to reduce the effects of fatigue in train personnel.
