Typically, active duty military personnel cannot bring a legal action against the military for injuries caused by military decisions, or other military-related activities. But the House Judiciary Committee is considering a bill that would allow military families hold the government accountable for non-combat related personal injuries.

Col. Adele Connell tried to bring a claim against Walter Reed Army Medical Center when her physician mistakenly operated on the wrong breast during a cancer surgery, and removed healthy tissue and lymph nodes. The negligent surgery caused her become disfigured. Her medical malpractice case was dismissed under the Feres Doctrine, which prohibits such claims. The congressional bill would change that.

"These last eight months have been unbelievably difficult," said Connell, who has served for more than 30 years. "The reason I am going public is that I want to try to improve the military for soldiers serving all over the world."

The legislation passes, it would be retroactive to 1997, potentially affecting the outcome of several pending lawsuits.

If your negligent driving causes a car accident in Fallbrook, and police or fire responds, your insurance company is going to get a bill from the city. This new fee goes into effect at the end of this month, and is designed to provide some revenue to cash-strapped local governments.

Depending on the severity of the auto accident, at-fault drivers will receive a bill from $435 to $2,100, which was calculated based on the hourly labor and equipment costs for public safety officers. If firefighters simply provide traffic control, the bill will be on the lower end, if the assistance is more involved, such as extracting victims from badly damaged vehicles, then the bill will be on the higher end.

Opponents of the new ordinance contend that the fee represents "double taxation," since existing property taxes presumably already cover these services. But most of the opposition, it is no surprise, has come from the insurance companies themselves, who threaten (as usual) that the rates for all will rise under such laws.

The double-taxation argument does have some teeth. Several states have already banned such a "crash tax," and a pending bill in Sacramento aims to do the same in California.

Four people suffered injuries, including two teenagers, after a three-vehicle car accident on Mission Ave. in Oceanside. The crash occurred just after 10:00 p.m. on Friday night, and involved a Hyundai Tiburon and a Chevy Silverado truck.

According to news accounts, the cause of the accident has not been determined, but the truck reportedly overturned. Four ambulances were called to the scene, and the victims were taken to local hospitals. Two of the victims suffered serious injuries.

The family of a 6-year-old boy who was killed when a garage door closed on him as filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturer of the automatic door, as well as against the door's installer and the owners of the home where the boy was killed. According to newspaper articles, the boy was found by his 9-year-old brother pinned under the door, which authorities say caused the boy to die of "compressional asphyxia."

The lawsuit names Mid-America Door Co. and Sears, Roebuck & Co. alleging that the door's failures were caused by a defect in the product. The lawsuit alleges that the door was not equipped with a motion sensor, which has been required by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission since 1992.

The family is devastated:

"I'm haunted by this every day, and if I would have known he was under the garage [door], then there's no way that I wouldn't have run to him," his mother said at a news conference. "I keep thinking that he was screaming and calling someone and no one was there to help him."

A 36-year-old San Diego husband and father died yesterday when his car slid on a freeway off ramp and slammed into a trash truck on Federal Blvd. Jose Lerma lost control of his car when it traveled over a large patch of used oil that police say was illegally dumped there earlier in the day. Witnesses say Lerma fishtailed in the oil and lost control and crashed.

Police are looking for help in finding the individuals who dumped the oil, which police estimate was four five-gallon buckets. San Diego Crime Stoppers has offered a $1,000 reward, and are encouraging those with any information to call the Crime Stoppers tip line at (888) 580-8477.

The New York Times is out with a story about independent medical exams - or IMEs - in the state's beleaguered worker's compensation system. The article more or less confirms what injury attorneys all over the county already know: there is nothing "independent" about IMEs.

Generally speaking, an insurance company in a personal injury or workers compensation claim has a right to conduct a medical exam of the claimant to confirm the injuries are legitimate. But what usually happens is the doctor - hired by the insurance company - will issue a report that either dispute, denies, or down-plays the injury.

The Times article (which can be found here) starts with the story of plumber, injured on the job, who seeks more time under his work comp claim. The doctor conducts an exam, and appears to confirm all of the plumber's injuries and complaints of pain. But when the doctor issued the report, it reported the plumber had no injuries. According to the doctor, he couldn't be truthful because it would hurt is standing with the insurance company:

“If you did a truly pure report,” the doctor said, “you’d be out on your ears and the insurers wouldn’t pay for it. You have to give them what they want, or you’re in Florida. That’s the game, baby.”

So who gets screwed? The injured person, now twice victimized. While this doctor is in New York, he has many brethren in San Diego. There are IME doctors here who make hundreds of thousands of dollars working for the same insurance companies, and who routinely issues reports that dispute the injured party's claims, or disparage the character of the victim.

I had a client who had her tongue pierced. She suffered a neck injury in a car accident and was sent to an IME with a particularly notorious San Diego defense doctor. When the report came back, the doctor spent a paragraph talking about the black spot on the x-ray with turned out to be a piece of jewelry in the woman's tongue. He went on to call her a malingerer (a liar), and concluded that she had no discernable injury.

What did a tongue piercing have to do with her neck injury? Nothing, of course. It was just this doctor's way of diminishing the character of the patient before him, hoping that somewhere down the road, either an insurance adjuster or jury, will judge her wrongly and reduce the value of her claim. I guess “that’s the game, baby,” but it is a pathetic game indeed.

A dramatic car accident on southbound SR 163 claimed the life of a motorcyclist. According to witnesses, an unidentified pickup truck abruptly changed lanes, cutting off a Ford Ranger pickup, causing it to lose control and veer across lanes and into another car. The Ranger then careened into a motorcyclist, throwing the rider over the center divider and into northbound traffic where he was struck by a car and killed.

The accident occurred at around 4:45 p.m. near the Kearney Villa Road exit. The pickup that started the chain of events did not stop.

The rider of the motorcycle was identified as Michael Anthony Freitas of Riverside.

After a car accident, it's not uncommon for the victims to call our office months later with complaints about their insurance claim. Usually the complaint is that the insurance adjuster is a jerk, won’t return calls, won’t make an offer, or simply is denying liability altogether. Clients then call us to ask if this is normal.

I don’t know if it’s “normal,” but it sure is prevalent. One would think that the insurance companies would do whatever it takes to prevent a person from contacting a lawyer after a personal injury claim, but every year our office takes over the cases of many people who simply want to avoid any further dealings with the insurance company.

Is there any way to make the process easier? Not really. But after a car accident, there are certain obligations under California law that insurance companies must follow:

• If it's your own insurance policy (such as an uninsured motorist claim), tell you of all benefits and coverages available to you.

• Open a claim file immediately and contact you within 15 days to appraise you of the status of the claim.

• Respond to phone calls or letter received by you within 15 days of receipt.

• Accept or deny the claim within 40 days after receiving documentation that the claim made is legitimate and supported by evidence.

• Offer a fair settlement, and pay it within 30 days.

The California Department of Insurance has an excellent manual that covers most issues that arise in an auto insurance claim (click here). Or, of course, you can call our office to answer any questions you might have. If, after an accident, the injuries are serious, then I believe it is important to get an attorney involved. The personal injury lawyers at Walton Barber LLP provide free consultations on all auto accident case.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is typically a man's domain. But a recent study has revealed that over the last decade, injurious or fatal drunk driving accidents involving female drivers has risen sharply in California, and dramatically in San Diego County, where serious injury-causing accidents among females between ages 21 and 24 has increased 124%.

"I was pretty surprised at the magnitude of the increase," said Stephen Bloch, a researcher with the auto club, whose study is based on 10 years of CHP data. He stressed that men still represent the large majority of alcohol-related crashes.

In the last few days there has been a rash of car accidents involving pedestrians. The most serious occurred in Chula Vista where 45-year-old Peter Dicesare of Los Angeles drove his Jeep Wrangler into 75-year-old Ronald Seiler near the 3100 block of Main Street. Seiler was crossing Third Avenue when he was hit. He was taken to UC San Diego Medical Center where he died shortly after arriving. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the accident.

In Mira Mesa, a driver ran into a 51-year-old man on a bicycle. The victim was in a marked bike lane on Calle Cristobol when a 19-year-old driver hit the rear of the bike. The bicyclist was hospitalized with serious head and back injuries but is expected to recover. Alcohol is believed to have played a role in this accident as well.

In Pacific Beach, a woman suffered serious and life-threatening injuries when she was hit by a drunk driver as she tried to cross Mission Boulevard near Reed Avenue. The driver, Alan Mabrey, struck the pedestrian while he was turning left.

And in San Marcos, a 19-month-old boy was killed when he wandered from his home near Smilax Road. The driver, who was believed to be driving a black mid-size older model car with tinted windows, fled the scene. Anyone with information about this accident is encouraged to call the Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200.

The American Association for Justice (AAJ) is out with a research report on the egregious ways insurance companies make money at the expense of consumers. Despite being an industry with trillions (yes, trillion with a “t”) in assets, and billions in profits, insurance companies engage in time-honored tricks of the trade to avoid paying claims.

In this report, the AAJ lists how some of America’s largest insurance companies such as Allstate and AIG have denied valid claims for the sake of profit, including employment practices where employees are given incentive bonuses to deny claims or make low-ball offers. It also includes instances of insurance carriers delaying claims in the hope the claimant will give up, or, in the case of long-term care insurance, die.

Anyone who has had to make a claim for insurance benefits is probably not surprised by these findings. Occasionally you’ll find people who are totally satisfied with their experience, but by far most people come away upset, confused, and angry. In fact, many of our auto accident clients come to us after a bad experience with the adjuster assigned to the claim. They feel they have no choice but to involve a lawyer.

There have been a lot of fatal car accidents in San Diego County recently. In fact, over the holidays there were more auto accident-related deaths than in years past. Many of the accidents were caused by alcohol use, but the accidents that jump off the news pages are those that occur for "unknown reasons."

For example, about a week ago in Fallbrook a 42-year-old woman named Stormi Lou Arreola was killed, and her child passengers injured, when she crossed the center divider on northbound Mission Road and struck a elderly man driving a Mazda sedan. The accident occurred midday, and, according to news reports was not alcohol related.

Yesterday, a bicyclist – riding in the bike lane – was struck and killed in Sabre Springs on Sabre Springs Parkway when a man driving a BMW veered into the bike lane and hit the cyclist. The victim was identified as 55-year-old Walter Carl Joller, whose was severed in the crash. He died at the scene. Police said they don't believe alcohol played a role in the accident, which occurred around 7 p.m.

There are, of course, many reasons why car accidents occur, but when the cars veer or drift out of their lane, and alcohol or drugs are not involved, it's impossible not to think that cell phone use was a contributing factor. This is quickly becoming the primary culprit in the train accident in Los Angeles, and is no doubt the cause of many car accidents. Personal injury lawyers who represent the victims of these accidents can subpoena the phone records of negligent drivers to prove that at, or around, the time of the accident the driver was using the phone instead of watching the road.

UPDATE: This morning the North County Times had a thorough article about Mr. Joller, who was a retired Navy captain, and who regularly commuted by bicycle to his job at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in Point Loma. He wore reflective gear and a helmet when he rode, and was known to be an experienced cyclist. The police are now stating that the negligent driver who struck Mr. Joller was simply "inattentive" at the time of the accident, and that he may face vehicular manslaughter charges. The family said donations may be made to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society in lieu of flowers.

California Highway Patrol is reporting that Yine Erandy Gonzales Angeles, age 24, was killed early Sunday morning when the Ford Explorer she was traveling in rolled over on Interstate 5 near Solana Beach. Ms. Angeles was six months pregnant at the time. The baby did not survive.

According to news reports, Ms. Angeles was riding with her husband, 5-year-old daughter, and two relatives when the car was clipped by a speeding Nissan Altima that was trying to change lanes. The contact between the cars caused the Explorer to flip several times, partially ejecting Ms. Angeles, who was wearing a seatbelt. The other passengers suffered relatively minor injuries.

Witnesses stopped to assist the passengers out of both cars, but after helping the driver of the Altima get out of his vehicle he ran from the scene. The driver, John Francis Sudac Jr. of Carlsbad, later turned himself in and was booked into the Vista jail on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter.

Adding insult to an already tragic accident, witnesses also said that in the slowing traffic after the accident, a woman in a dark colored Subaru wagon jumped out of her car and stole Ms. Angeles' purse, which had been thrown across the freeway, before driving away. Any witnesses to this accident or the theft are encouraged to call police at (858) 673-3800.

FACTS: A 16-year-old female student as Scripps Ranch High School was accidentally run over in the high school’s parking lot. According to reports, the victim and other students were socializing in the parking lot just after school, apparently sitting on the asphalt. A 16-year-old male student then got into his car, started the engine, and proceeded to drive away. It is unclear what happened next, but apparently several of the victim’s friends were able to move out of the way, but not the victim, who was run over by male student driver.

Sadly, the girl was seriously injured. According the news reports, she suffered internal injuries, including a lacerated liver, and facial trauma.

LIABILITY ANALYSIS: General tort principles would apply to a case such as this. The male driver would be liable for any and all damages caused by his negligence, but that liability would be reduced by the comparative fault of the victim, if any.

Assuming negligence on the part of the driver, the damages would likely be limited to his auto insurance policy. As a minor, his parents could be held liable for additional sums, but that liability would probably be limited to $25,000 under California Civil Code §1714.1.

The school is probably not exposed to liability, unless it could be shown there was some wrongdoing on its part.

Auto accidents in San Diego County claimed the lives of three people over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, two fewer than killed during the same weekend last year.

A woman described as friendly and loyal was killed this weekend while selling flowers at her roadside flower stand in Lakeside. According to reports, Gwendolyn Wheeler was talking to a taxi that had pulled over on the shoulder of Lake Jennings Park Road when the driver of a pickup truck drove across lanes and on the raised shoulder, striking the parked taxi. Ms. Wheeler died at a nearby hospital, and the taxi driver was seriously injured.

The driver of the pickup was not injured, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication.

This wasn't the only fatal car accident to plague San Diego County this weekend. A Fallbrook man suspected of driving under the influence died in a single car accident when he slammed his Toyota Camry into a power pole on South Mission Road. And in Oceanside, two men and a dog were killed in a fiery crash at the intersection of El Camino Real and Mission Road. Anyone with information about the Oceanside crash is asked to contact Officer Joe Torres at (760) 435-4930.

Car accident injury and fatality statistics from 2007 were released yesterday by the California Office of Traffic Safety, and show a wide disparity among Northern San Diego County cities.

Escondido seemed to fair the worse, ranking third highest among 52 cities of similar size in alcohol-related accidents per vehicle mile. Faring better was Carlsbad, who ranked 41st lowest in the same category. The ranking are based on the number of people injured or killed in automobile accidents each year.

The purpose of the study was to assist cities in identifying problems with traffic safety, and to help the state in assigning federal tax dollars to the cities that need it most.

A copy of the study can be found here (.pdf).

Cal-OSHA is investigating what caused a wooden pedestrian walkway to collapse in downtown San Diego yesterday. The accident occurred during the lunch hour next to an apartment building under construction at 15th Street and Imperial Avenue, and injured 16 people.

According to witnesses, the walkway first began to sway, then gave way, sending people and debris falling to the ground where pedestrians scrambled. According to one witness, "the whole darn walkway fell down."

The caused of the accident is currently under investigation. What is known is that the developer for the project is San Diego-based Affirmed Housing Group, and the general contractor for the site is Allgire General Contractors of Carlsbad. It is being reported that state records show that Allgire has had at least two accidents in the past four years. One incident resulted in a $16,000 citation for a serious violation of state safety law.

There are reports that 16 people suffered personal injuries in the accident, including three with injuries that were described as serious. The most severe injuries being reported are a broken leg and a broken back. All of the victims are expected to survive.

UPDATE I: The Union Tribune is reporting this morning that two people remain in critical condition after the walkway accident yesterday. Some of the injured were homeless people who live at the St. Vincent de Paul Village across the street from the construction site. Also, Cal-OSHA is stating that it could take several months for the cause to be determined.

UPDATE II [9/3]: It is being reported today that three seriously injured individuals from the August 28 walkway collapse are still hospitalized. The most serious appears to be one victim who suffered a "broken back." According the San Diego Union Tribune, the victims ages ranged from 16 to 64. The incident is still being investigated, and we will be keeping on top of this story.

UPDATE III [9/8]: Raw video footage of the accident has been release and can be found on the local NBC website (click here). It is being reported that OSHA may take up to six months to complete its investigation.

San Marcos has one of the most dangerous intersections in North County at San Marcos Blvd. and Rancho Santa Fe Road. But just about a half-mile west is another dangerous intersection at San Marcos Blvd. and Acacia Rd., which sits at the bottom of both an eastbound and westbound dip, causing drivers to approach the intersection at a high rate of speed.

A few years ago there was a lawsuit arising from an auto accident at that intersection, and yesterday a 19-year-old Encinitas man was killed while riding as a passenger in a 2004 Jeep Loredo that, according to reports, was speeding on San Marcos Blvd. The Jeep was traveling eastbound, and ran a red light at Acacia. The Jeep seriously injured the driver of car trying to turn left onto westbound San Marcos Blvd. Hopefully, the injured (and apparently innocent) driver of that car makes a full recovery.

More on the accident can be found here.

UPDATE [8/30/08]: It is being reported in the North County Times this morning that the driver that ran the red light has been arrested for manslaughter and drunk driving. The woman who was hit in the intersection reportedly suffered only minor injuries.

The hit-and-driver that nearly killed Leslie Nunez has never been held accountable for the devastating injuries she wrought upon Leslie and her friend last year in Pacific Beach. Exactly one year ago, Leslie and her friends were walking to a restaurant in PB when they crossed Grand Avenue near Cass Street and were hit by a Nissan Maxima. Leslie suffered severe personal injuries, including head injuries and broken bones requiring surgery. The driver just took off.

Now Leslie needs your help to find the bad guy, and is offering her own money to boost the San Diego Crimestoppers reward up to $2500 for information that leads to the identification of the negligent driver. The accident occurred on August 10, 2007 at 9:40 p.m. in Pacific Beach. Witnesses say there were two women in the car, which may have been customized with specialty rims and tinted windows. Leslie still has over $200,000 in medical bills. Anyone with helpful information about this hit-and-run crash should call (888) 580-TIPS or go to the Crimestoppers website.

One of the most frequent questions Walton Barber gets from potential clients is, "Do I need a lawyer?" While there is no set answer, here are some general guidelines. You probably need a lawyer if:

1) You need more than one doctor visit to treat your injuries. Generally, if your injuries are such that you require two or more doctor visits or physical therapy, in addition to incurring medical bills, you are going to miss some work. When the bills start mounting and medical insurance gets involved, you probably need a lawyer.;
2) You're in a car accident and your vehicle sustains over $1,000 in damage. Generally, the higher the amount of damage to the car, the higher the forces transferred to the occupants. Of course there are exceptions to this so the amount of damage to a vehicle alone is not a determinative factor.; or
3) The other party denies responsibility for the accident. If the other party was at fault but denies it, you will definitely need an attorney as their insurance will likely not settle without a fight.

If you've been in an accident which meets one or more of the three criteria above, please do not hesitate to contact Walton Barber for a confidential and free consultation. If you're going to need a lawyer, it's better to get them involved earlier rather than later.

A decline in auto accident deaths may be attributed to the increase in fuel prices, a new study shows. The report was released last month at a meeting of the American Society of Health Economists.

The study found that for every 10% increase in gas prices, there was a 2.3% decline in automobile accident fatalities. Surprisingly, there was a greater decrease in accident deaths for drivers ages 15 - 17, which was 6%, than for drivers 18-20, which was 2.3%. The auto death statistics were acquired from the National Highway Safety Administration.

The study's authors believe that the number of auto-related deaths will decrease by 1,000 each month that gas prices continue to rise. There are approximately 40,000 deaths every year resulting from car crashes.

More people, more roads, and more freeway congestion caused the number of auto accidents on North County San Diego roads to rise in 2007. Drivers looking to avoid the congestion of Highway 78, found the local surface streets no safer. Below are the top car accident locations in all the cities along the 78 corridor.
