LA Road Rage Driver Convicted of 6 Felonies l Seattle Bike Lawyer

A Los Angeles County jury found a car driver guilty of six felonies following a July 2008 incident where the driver had a violent altercation with two bicyclists. The driver slammed on his brakes in front of the bicycle riders causing serious injuries to both bicyclists. The driver became angry at the bicycle riders as he drove down a windy canyon road in the Los Angeles area. He was having difficulty passing the bikes.

The car driver Christopher Thomas was an emergency room doctor in Los Angeles. He had a prior history of conflicts with bicycle riders. It was clear from his reported statements that he believed bicycles should not be on the road and needed to get the hell out of his way. He made it a point to teach these bike riders a lesson. Well, who was taught the lesson here?

Thomas had been out on bail, but the judge revoked bail and Thomas was place in jail immediately following the guilty jury verdict. Thomas is no longer an ER doctor and does not live in the LA area. He is likely to lose his medical license as a result of the felony convictions. Thank God! Any doctor that is okay with trying to seriously hurt a bicycle rider with his car should not be permitted to practice medicine.

Thomas faces a maximum of 10 years in prison at his sentencing in a few weeks. But as a first time offender he likely will not receive the maximum.

It is not okay to use your car as a weapon no matter how frustrated you get with a bicycle rider, motorcycle, or other vehicle driver. Follow the Golden rule...Treat others how you would want to be treated!

What would you do if you were paralyzed in a hit & run bike accident? l Washington Spine Injury Attorney

A retired neurosurgeon and 72 year old bicycle rider, Ross Bornfleth of Yakima, Washington, came very close to having to answer that horrifying question. In early September Ross was riding his Trek road bike in the West Valley on Wide Hollow Road when a car tried to pass him and hit him from behind. Ross was sent flying by the impact and landed in the road badly injured. As Ross laid in the middle of the road he watch as the vehicle's brake lights came on for a few seconds as if the vehicle was stopping, and then it sped off leaving him lying in the road with broken bones and in pain.

Ross' injuries were severe. He suffered fractures to his pelvis, scapula, and clavicle and is confined to a wheelchair for six weeks. Luckily, Ross will be able to get up out of that wheelchair and walk again. But what if he was not so lucky? What if the wheelchair was permanent?

The hit & run driver fled his responsibility taking any insurance coverage with him. Ross has been left to pay all of his own medical bills and expenses for his severe bicycle accident related injuries. What are his options? If Ross had downloaded our report "The Guide To Buying Car Insurance In Washington" then perhaps he had maximized his Uninsured Motorist (UIM) coverage and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on his own car insurance.

PIP insurance would pay for Ross' medical bills up to the policy limit, which is usually $10,000 but sometimes can be as high as $35,000. If that is not enough then Ross will have to look to his health insurance to pay the remaining bills. If he has no health insurance then he will have to pay the bills out of his own pocket until he has completed his injury treatments. Ross' last option will be to seek compensation through his UIM insurance.

We almost always recommend that you wait until you have finished injury treatments and healed from your injuries, either totally or as much as possible, before making a Uninsured Motorist (UIM) coverage claim. Why? Because UIM coverage by design takes the place of the at fault driver which is an adverse relationship. UIM generally will not pay medical bills as you treat and the bills are incurred. UIM will only pay one lump sum to settle the whole claim at once and pay all bills and expenses. Because of this you want to wait until you're healed and know exactly how much treatment your injuries require before closing your UIM claim.

UIM insurance pays for more than just medical bills. It pays for any future care that may be needed. If you were left paralyzed you may need daily care from a nurse or other medical care person. You may not be able to work at your job any longer, losing all your future income from your chosen career.  You may have been left with a certain amount of daily pain that will not be going away and you will live with for the rest of your life. UIM insurance is designed to pay for all of these things and others.

The short answer to our initial question hopefully for you is "I will make a UIM claim to pay for all the damages that I suffered and the care I will need in the future."  Hopefully, you purchased as much UIM coverage as possible to deal with this worst case scenario.

Carbon Bike Fork Failure Can Cause Serious Injury

An attorney friend, Mike Schafer, has an interesting blog post at his The Kentucky Accident Attorney blog about carbon bicycle fork failure.

Apparently, carbon forks can become stressed by hitting potholes, running into a curb or normal wear and tear, which can lead to fork failure where the fork can unexpectedly break during a ride. Given the state of many of the roads around Washington especially here in King County, that's scary. You can imagine the type of crash which would result from a broken fork.

Check out Mike's article. You may also want to check or have a professional check your carbon bicycle fork for signs of stress from time to time.

Bicycling Made Easier by Pavement Markings in Redmond and Kirkland l Kirkland Bike Attorney

As a bicyclist in Redmond and Kirkland, Washington have you ever had problems triggering traffic lights to change? Well the cities of Redmond and Kirkland have started a new pavement marking program to make your life easier.

The new pavement markings are designed to help Washington bicyclists know where to stop so that the traffic light will "see" or sense you. A bicycle symbol is paint on the road, and when you stop on it the traffic light is activated. So you should not have to sit through endless light cycles hoping a car comes up behind you to trip the light.

Kirkland is painting the markings at seven locations between Carillon Point and Juanita. They will also be located on portions of 150th Avenue NE in Redmond.

Both cities are piloting this project and would like feedback. To report signals in Kirkland that don't detect bicycles, email at publicworks@ci.kirkland.wa.us or call (425) 587-3800.

Seattle Bicyclist hit by Drunk and Killed on Dexter in Seattle

At 10:20 p.m. last night a Seattle man was involved in a fatal bicycle accident on Dexter Way in Seattle, Washington. My sincere condolences go out to this bicyclist's family.

The exact details of the bicycle accident are not yet known. The Seattle bike rider's injuries were severe and he died at the scene.

Police at the scene arrested the yet to be identified driver of the car because they observed signs of intoxication. This appears to be another tragic drunk driving related fatality.

Drive While Texting, Go To Jail? l Seattle Car Accident Lawyer

What Causes More Deaths in Washington: Car Accidents or Drugs?

Surprisingly, drugs now cause more fatalities in Washington state than do injury car accidents. For decades, vehicle accidents have been the leading cause of injury-related deaths in Washington state. But drug overdoses have now pulled ahead.

According to Margaret Warner of the CDC people view car accidents as something that might happen to them. But death from a drug overdose is something people rarely believe will happen to them. However, that statistics are proving otherwise. Cocaine and heroin continue to be significant killers, but most of the increase is due to prescription opiates like methadone, Oxycontin and Vicodin.

Binge Drinkers Like to Drive, 1 in 10 Drive after a Binge l Washington DUI Injury Accident Lawyer

Ten (10%) percent of binge drinkers drive after a heavy drinking session a new study from the CDC reports. Half of those left from a bar, restaurant or nightclub after drinking five or more drinks. So if you're driving late on a weekend, be extra careful a binge drinker is likely on the road with you.

The study is the first to try and measure the likelihood of someone driving after binge drinking. It's studies like this that justify the need for extra police patrols on weekends. Binge drinking is a main factor behind the more than 11,000 death annually from alcohol-related car accidents according to Dr. Timothy Naimi, an epidemiologist with the CDC.

Many of our clients have been injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. However, one of the dirty little secrets of insurance companies is that they fight tooth and nail to keep out any mention of the fact that their customer was driving drunk. They never want the truth about their customer to come out in front a jury, but they often also don't want to pay fair compensation for your injuries. They want their cake and eat it too.

I wish their was better news on this one but, often times judges keep out evidence of intoxication because they believe it may too prejudicial to the defendant. In other words, they fear the jury will punish the defendant for driving drunk or be more likely to think negatively of the defendant because of this. The only exception being that if you have suffered emotional trauma, like reoccurring nightmares about being injured by a drunk driver, and received medical treatment for those nightmares then sometimes you can talk about the drunk driver issue. But this is rare and the insurance company will do everything in its power to prevent it.

Personally, I believe if you drive drunk and hurt someone as a result then the jury should be able to know that you ignored the law and hurt someone as a result of your gross negligence.

Drive safe!

Kirkland Man Driving 100 mph Causes Bothell WA Car Accident, Injures 6 in Minivan l Bothell Car Accident Attorney

A Kirkland, WA man, Geoffrey Goddard, was reported driving over 100 mph on I-405 near Bothell, Washington on June 12, 2009. Goodard smashed his Dodge Dakota pickup into the rear of a Mazda minivan carrying two women and four children. The force of impact was so great the minivan was thrown across four lanes of traffic onto a dirt median where it flipped over on its roof. Goddard is suspected of driving drunk.

All six passenger were taken to hospitals with injuries, and two of the children had possible broken bones. Goddard was also injured and taken to Evegreen Hospital. When police arrived to question Goddard he ran from the hospital naked. He left his close and ran out across the parking lot naked.  Are you kidding me, he had to be drunk to think that was a good idea.

As Kirkland Car Accident Attorney who has handled many drunk driver caused car accidents I can tell you these types of crazy stories happen far too often. Many times the drunk driver has no car insurance or carries the bare minimum coverage of $25,000. When six people are seriously injured in a 100 mph collision the injury victims are often left paying there own medical bills and any other expenses.

How do you protect yourself and your family from this tragic scenario?  Buy as much Uninsured Motorist (UIM) insurance coverage you can afford. UIM insurance is the best way to protect yourself and your family from dangerous drunk drivers and other minimally insured drivers. The UIM coverage in your car insurance policy is designed so it takes the place of the at-fault driver when he/she has no insurance or not enough to cover your medical bills and compensate you fairly for all that you have to go through when seriously injured. In essence you buy insurance for those who don't or don't buy enough.

You may be wondering how much UIM coverage should you get? As much as you can afford. My UIM policy limits are $1,000,000, which is a lot coverage for not a lot of money. Think about this, driving in your car is probably the most dangerous thing you do almost everyday, and what would happen if you were in a horrible car accident and were not able to work again due to severe injuries. How much insurance money would you need to replace your income and compensate you for your severe life altering injuries.  One million suddenly doesn't seem like a lot given that picture. My suggestion is to have at least $500,000 UIM coverage. This should provide a good cushion if your involved in a catastrophic Washington car accident.

A good place to find a much more detailed look at buying car insurance is our FREE report The Guide To Buying Car Insurance In Washington.

Texting While Driving is a Very Serious Threat to Safety According to 87% of Public l Seattle Car Accident Attorney

According to a recent AAA survey 87% of people believe texting or emailing while driving is a very serious threat to causing driving safety, second only to drunk driving at 90%. Most people (95%) also believe texting or emailing while driving is unacceptable. As a Kirkland Car Accident lawyer I have many clients who have seen the danger become reality.

Washington state outlawed texting while driving this year. Unfortunately, police cannot pull you over and ticket for texting alone. Police have to have another reason for pulling you over, like speeding or illegal lane change, before they can ticket you for texting. This requirement has minimized the deterrent effect of the law. As long as you're not breaking any traffic laws you are basically allowed to text or email while driving.

The law should be strengthened so police can pull you over for texting alone. However, I fear it will take a tragedy that gains media attention and inflames public opinion before any change to the law will be made. In the meantime you can expect more Washington car accidents to be caused by drivers distracted by text and email messaging.

Text Message Causes U of Texas LB to Crash Car - Kirkland Car Accident Lawyer

Text messaging while driving is illegal in Washigton State, which is apparently not the case in Austin, Texas. University of Texas Linebacker Sergio Kindle suffered a concussion after crashing his car into an apartment building because he was looking at a text message on his cell phone. text messaging is a fairly common cause of Washington car accidents.

Sergio Kindle's text message car accident happened on June 24th and resulted in $8,700 in damage. That's one seriously expensive text message!

Washington state drivers have been banned from text messaging while driving since 2008. The fine for text messaging while driving in Washington is about $101. However, the police have to stop you for some other traffic law violation before you can get the texting ticket.

Don't be like Sergio, just put the phone down and drive. The message will be there for you when you arrive at your destination.

Drive Safe!

Nine Injured in Rollover Car Accident on I-5 in Dupont, Washington

Dupont, WA - June 9, 2009 - I-5 freeway

Two kids were left severely injured along with seven other people after a two vehicle accident near Dupont, WA on I-5. All 9 injured people were admitted to local hospitals. The nine people included six kids and two pregnant women all riding in a 8 passenger Ford Explorer.

All 9 people failed to wear seat belts, and none of the children were in child seats. The two most severly injured kids were ejected from the vehicle and found on the highway. They all were lucky that no died, especially the three people ejected from the suv. Seatbelts save lives as do child safty seats.

A Federal Way man caused the car accident that resulted in the Ford Explorer being launched over the jersey barrier rolling into oncoming I-5 traffic. The Federal Way man was arrested for investigation of DUI and attempted vehicluar homicide. The vehicular homicide charge seems to imply the man may have intentionally caused the accident and wanted to hurt the women and children in the Ford Explorer.
