DRIVER KILLED IN OAKLAND CRASH; MOTORCYCLIST CRITICALLY INJURED IN PITTSBURG
Driving in general is a dangerous activity that can put a person at risk at any given moment. However, if the driver is negligent by going at high speeds, or driving under the influence, then it puts more people in the path of that danger. Drivers are required to have insurance in California so that if an accident does occur, he/she may be able to compensate the other person for property damage or injuries that occurred during the crash. If you have been involved in a car accident and think that you are entitled to compensation, then call the law firm of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free consultation.
On January 15, 2010, a driver was killed in Oakland near San Leandro Street after he crashed into a pole or a parked vehicle. The accident happened around midnight, and after the car hit the object, it burst into flames. The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and died at the scene of the crash. Police are still investigating the details surrounding the incident. In an unrelated accident on January 14, a motorcyclist lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into the center divide on Power Avenue in Pittsburg. The accident happened in the early hours of the morning, and it was determined that the motorcyclist was intoxicated at the time of the incident. He was wearing his helmet, but he remains on life support.
Thankfully these accidents did not involve another party because the damage could have been exponential. Driving under the influence is likely viewed as negligent behavior in civil court, and has serious consequences.
