Mother and Daughter Hospitalized in Fairfield Pedestrian Accident
December 13, 2007
The woman and her daughter enjoying an afternoon stroll on a Fairfield, California sidewalk weren't jaywalkers. They were well on the sidewalk, and within their rights, when a car jumped the curb and struck both of them. Both mother and daughter have been hospitalized with severe injuries. According to witnesses, the accident occurred at around 4:30 pm. While the two were walking on the sidewalk, a Honda Civic driven by 55-year-old Fairfield resident Steve Crismond drove over the curb, and onto the sidewalk and into the two pedestrians. The mother was thrown in to a nearby drive while the 7-year-old child was caught in the rear wheel of the Honda and dragged a full 100 feet before the car finally hit a pole and stopped. She suffered severe head injuries, and trauma to her hand and legs, and was taken to the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. The mother was taken to North Bay Medical Center. The driver of the Civic has been arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Many pedestrian accidents are caused by jaywalking or other potentially dangerous actions. In this case, however, having a simple afternoon walk on the sidewalk seems to have put two people's lives in jeopardy for no fault of their own. If you've been injured in a pedestrian accident, don't hesitate to protect your legal rights.

Fresno California Teenager in Coma after Pedestrian Accident
December 12, 2007
A 13-year-old boy who was struck by a car in northeastern Fresno, California is reported to be in a critical condition. Chase Hopps suffered massive head injuries and is in a coma. The accident happened at around 5:15 pm near the Granite Ridge Intermediate School in the Clovis Unified School District where Chase attended seventh grade. He was apparently on the crosswalk when he was hit by a car going east. The car was being driven by 55-year-old Clovis resident Debra Hurado, a teacher at Liberty Elementary School. Hurado hit the boy after stopping at a stop sign. She told investigators that she didn't see the boy. Investigations are being hampered by the fact that they were no witnesses.

San Jose California Man Killed in Pedestrian Accident
December 04, 2007
South San Jose has seen a marked increase in the number of pedestrian accidents over the past year. On December 3rd a 59-year-old pedestrian was killed as he was crossing the street by a hit and run driver who fled the scene. According to San Jose Mercury News, the man's body was found in Branham Lane near Eagle Lake Drive. The accident is suspected to have taken place around 4:45 am. The victim has not yet been identified although it's confirmed that he is a San Jose resident. 39 people have been killed by cars in San Jose this year, a significant increase over last year's figure of 24. At least 36 percent of the people killed by cars were pedestrians. As recently as November 5th, a young mother and her 6-year-old son were killed as they were crossing Fourth Street, just across their home at around 8:30 pm. A PT cruiser came racing around the bend, and crashed into them. According to San Jose police, driver inattention is a major factor in such accidents. If you've been injured by a car or other vehicle, call the California pedestrian accident lawyers at The Reeves Law Group for a consultation.
