Bus Crash on I-5 Injures and Takes Lives

in Car Accidents, Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

By Stephen Allen Jamieson

Passengers in the fatal bus crash on Interstate 5 (I-5) yesterday near Chico California included students from Los Angeles and elsewhere who were traveling to visit California State University at Humboldt.  A FedEx truck heading the opposite direction crossed the median divider and collided head on with the bus carrying the students. The vehicles burst into flames.

The reasons for the crash and fire that engulfed the vehicles, will be investigated by law enforcement and insurance and lawyers for those injured and those who ultimately may be sued.

Because the accident occurred on a public roadway there will be analysis of whether the roadway was dangerous and defective, whether the drivers of either or both the vehicles were negligent, and whether the vehicles themselves were defective which may have either caused the collision itself or increased the injuries or contributed as a cause of the deaths.

While, generally speaking, the injured and the heirs of the deceased have 2 years to file a lawsuit against responsible parties, any claims against any governmental entities or persons are subject to a much shorter deadline of only 6 months in which to file a governmental tort claim with the city, county, or state.

Over 6 Million Dollars Recovered Collision between county bus and asphalt roller vehicle results in amputation of foot/shattered arm.

in Car Accidents, News, Personal Injury

Facts/Contentions

According to plaintiff: This consolidated action with cross-complaints arose out of a collision between a bus and an asphalt roller.

Plaintiff Ronald Daneault claimed that a county bus failed to yield the right-of-way and that other defendants contributed to an accident in which the county bus struck an asphalt roller vehicle operated by Daneault.

Defendants denied liability and argued contributory liability of the other defendants. The plaintiffs were Ronald Daneault, the asphalt roller operator, and Anna Fuller and Mary Ann Loya, two passengers on the bus who were injured. The defendants/cross-complaints / cross-defendants were Dave Transportation Authority, Abundio Martinez and the City of Costa Mesa. The cross-defendants / cross-complaints were R.J. Noble Company and Nacco Materials Handling Group Inc. dba Hyster Company. The intervener was State Compensation Insurance Fund.

The traffic collision occurred on March 13, 1997 at approximately 5:10a.m., in or near the southbound lanes of Harbor Boulevard, which was approximately 150 feet south of the intersection of Mesa Verde Drive East in Costa Mesa. The bus involved was owned by and registered to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and was operated by defendant Martinez. The accident resulted when defendant driver, who was traveling between 40 and 65 mph, made and unsafe lane change and struck asphalt roller vehicle owned by plaintiff Daneault. The markings and signage on the bus identified it as an OCTA ACCESS paratransit vehicle providing special scheduled pickup and drop off services for disabled individuals.

As a result of the collision, the eight to 10-ton roller overturned, pinning Daneault’s feet between the drive roller and the curb. Daneault was not successful in freeing his feet until the front of his right foot was traumatically amputated by the roller wheel. The roller also crushed his left foot. His left arm was shattered into many pieces, probably at the time of impact when the bus initially struck the asphalt roller. His eyelid was lacerated and he also sustained numerous other physical and emotional injuries. R.J. Noble owned and provided the asphalt roller. Daneault was an employee of Cal-Mex Engineering but was on lease to R.J. Noble. The workers compensation insurance insurance carrier paying Daneault’s benefits was Cal-Mex Engineering and did not enter the action as a lien claimant or as an intervener.

At the time of the collision, Harbor Boulevard was under heavy construction and lane closures were in effect for certain lanes in both directions.

In the specific area of the accident, the entire lane 3 was coned off and shut down for asphalt repair and bus pad installation. Large wood barricades, cones and lane closure signs were present. There was no signage, however, adequately meeting the requirements of a construction area and/or specifying a 25 mph speed limit. Also at the time of the collision, an R.J. Noble Company pickup truck acting as a “chase” or “traffic” vehicle was trailing the asphalt roller vehicle operated by Daneault by a distance of 25 to 50 feet. The driver of the chase vehicle was Robert “Raul” Pedroza, an employee of R.J. Noble Company. At the time of the collision, the trailing R.J. Noble Company pickup truck apparently had stopped for several seconds to respond to Robert M. Barnekow, an employee “leased” to R.J. Noble Company by Pavement Recycling Systems Inc., who had called out to Pedroza from the other side of Harbor Boulevard.

The bus passed the trailing pickup truck in a hazardous and unsafe manner at which time the right side of the passenger portion of the bus struck the rear left portion of the asphalt roller vehicle operated by Daneault. As a result of the collision, the impact of the bus caused the asphalt roller vehicle to spin approximately 180 degrees and roll over before coming to rest on its side. The force of the collision ejected Daneault from his seat on the asphalt roller vehicle, up and over the control console and onto the ground under the spinning roller, causing his injuries and damages.

Daneault alleged that the accident was primarily caused by defendant Martinez, who testified that he simply did not see the asphalt roller until it was too late to avoid hitting it despite his attempts to avoid Daneault. Just prior to the point of impact. Martinez had yawned and expressed to a passenger that he was sleepy. The passenger testified that the first and last thing she noticed prior to the collision were the lights on the asphalt roller. A witness from across the street testified that he observed the bus traveling at approximately 60 to 65 mph. The Costa Mesa police did a reconstruction in which they estimated from brake skid marks that the bus was traveling approximately 40 to 45 mph after the collision impact occurred. Martinez did not brake prior to the impact but only applied brakes after the collision occurred. The police found Martinez to be at fault and in violation of Vehicle Code section 21658(a), and unsafe lane change.

Daneault further alleged that Dave Transportation, as the employer, was responsible for Martinez’ negligence. He also alleged that OCTA

Plaintiff: Stephen A. Jamieson, Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson, Playa del Rey. Stephen W. Solomon, Solomon, Saltsman &Jamieson, Playa del Rey.

Defendant: J. Alan Frederick, Marrone, Robinson, Frederick & Foster, Burbank. James C. Nichols, Krimen & Bjornsen, Monterey Park. Marcus Mclaughlin, Law Offices of Marcy Mclaughlin.

Over 6 Million Dollars
RECOVERED
Collision between county bus and asphalt roller vehicle results in amputation of foot/shattered arm was responsible for the actions of Dave and its driver since it was a common carrier and OCTA had a nondelegable duty to the public. Dave was employed by OCTA under a contract dated May 22, 1995 by which Dave was to provide management and operation services for its paratransit services in Orange County.

Daneault also alleged that although this was a construction site area, according to the police it was not adequately signed for a construction zone and there were no signs prohibiting speeds in excess of 25 mph. Daneault alleged that defendants City of Costa Mesa and R.J. Noble, as its hired construction company, owned, managed and/or directly or indirectly controlled the southbound lanes of Harbor Boulevard at the time of the accident and thus had the power to prevent, remedy or guard against the dangerous conditions. The subject property was therefore inherently defective and in potentially dangerous condition at the time of the accident.

Claimed Injuries

According to plaintiff: Ronald Daneault: Traumatic amputation of the right foot; crushed left foot; shattered left arm; lacerated eyelid; numerous other physical and emotional injuries.

Claimed Damages

According to plaintiff: Ronald Daneault: $223,208 past medical (to date, the workers compensation carrier has paid the bills but might be entitled to some reimbursement); approximately $50,000 future medical (future surgery); $91,300 past economic loss; approximately $673,000 future loss of earning capacity as discounted to present value; reasonable compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Robert Stroup, physician, Western Medical Center/Santa Ana, Santa Ana. Expert Testimony According to plaintiff: Heidi Paul, Danaeult’s life care planner and vocational rehibiltation expert, opined that Daneault is permantly and severely disabled with a “profound” loss of access to the competitive labor market under two separate scenarios: with left arm immobility and right leg amputation-loss of access to the competitive labor market at 90-100 percent. Daneault has no feasibility for academic training. He will need attendant care. His life care needs, assuming his arm is amputated, are roughly $1.6 million as discounted to present value. Comments According to plaintiff: Daneault was immediately transported to Western Medical Center by Costa Mesa Fire Department ambulance.

Thereafter, he was treated by Ted Tanzer, and orthopedist, and Leonard Prutsok, a plastic surgeon. The doctors initially removed the heel portion of Daneault’s right foot, tried a prosthetic on the heel front of the and placed many metal plates and screws in the left arm elbow area. Daneault initially stayed in the hospital for 29 days. He then returned to the hospital and was admitted on five additional occasions for a total of 71 days for various operations to his arm and leg. Subsequently, all of the plates and screws had to be removed from the arm because of chronic infection. Ultimately, his right leg was amputated to the knee.

A three-inch piece of bone from the amputated leg was grafted to his left arm in March 1998. The left arm continued to remain infected. Daneault has almost no range of motion or usefulness of the left arm. The doctors were prepared to testify that to a medical probability they would need to amputate his left arm as well. Several muscle and skin grafts to the heel and foot were performed. Daneault is continuously in great pain.

At the time of the accident, Daneault was earning approximately $25.03 per hour plus benefits. At that rate, without discounting to present value and assuming total disability, in the competitive labor market, the loss was $91, 3000 for past economic loss and approximately $673,000 for future loss of earning capacity, as discounted to present value.

Daneault suffers and will continue to suffer, great pain from the incident and he claimed a reasonable compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress. He can no longer participate in recreational activities like snow or water skiing, hiking, camping or playing golf with his son. He cannot do simple things like hold a heavy plate. It will get worse as he gets older. His life expectancy is another 36 years. Thomas O. Goodney of Platteville, Wisconsin designated by plaintiff Daneault as an expert witness. There was no other information provided for this expert.

Plaintiff Ronald Daneault was named as defendant in complaints filed by plaintiffs Loya and Fuller and those complaints were consolidated. Case number 781864 was consolidated with 78912 and 789852. Sandra Montag represented the City of Costa Mesa and R.J. Noble Company. Pamela Swindells represented Dave Transportation Authority and Abundio Martinez. J. Alan Frederick represented Nacco Materials Handling Group Inc. dba Hyster Company. Marla Lamedman Kelly represented Ronald Daneault as a defendant. Richard S.

LAX VICTIM’S FAMILY DEALT 2ND BLOW

in Car Accidents, News, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

LOS ANGELES TIMES – NOVEMBER 27, 2002

A brother of ticket agent killed in July 4 shootings at airport dies after an auto accident in Chatsworth.

By Wendy Thermos

For the second time in five months, tragedy has stuck the Chatsworth couple who lost a daughter in the July 4 shooting spree at Los Angeles International Airport.

Nimrod Hen, the 18-year-old brother of slain ticket agent Victoria Hen, died Tuesday of injuries suffered in a Nov. 16 car accident that is still under investigation.

The teenager’s parents, Avi and Rachel Hen, “are in deep sorrow” after losing two of their three children and do not wish to discuss the devastating loss they feel,” said family attorney Steve Solomon. “It’s just a horrible thing for them.” The family has one other child, a son, Udi, who is in his early 20’s.

Victoria Hen, 25, was one of two people slain by Hesham Mohamed Hadayett, 41, an Egyptian immigrant, in a shooting rampage at the ticket counter of El Al Israel Airlines in the summer. U.S. authorities theorized it was an irrational act of anger, while Israeli officials have labeled it a terroristic attack.

Victoria Hen, who lived at home with her parents, was the eldest child. She had worked for El Al for almost two months when she was killed.

Now police and the family are appealing for help in determining the circumstances of the crash that killed one of her brothers.

“This is just inconceivable that you could lose both a son and a daughter to separate tragedies,” said Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Greg Meyer. “We are united in our commitment to resole this case.”

Officer Toni Wolfe, who is in charge of the investigation, said detectives want to talk to the driver who allegedly pulled out of a driveway of a shopping complex on Madison Avenue near Devonshire Street in Chatsworth and caused Hen to lose control of his vehicle.

“At this point we’re not even considering pressing charges,” Wolfe said. Basically all we want this person to do is to come in so we can interview him or her.”

Investigators have not determined how fast Hen or the other car was traveling at the time of the crash. The posted speed limit is 35.

Hen was driving a Ford Mustang north on Mason about 4:30 p.m. when a sedan, described as a silver or gold Buick or Toyota, turned onto the street from a shopping center parking lot, police said.

Hen missed the car but swerved across oncoming lanes and crashed into two parked vehicles and a fire hydrant. The driver of the sedan did not return to the scene, witnesses said.

The motorist may not have known that a crash occurred, Wolfe said. California law requires any driver whose actions result in an accident to stop, exchange information and render aid.

If investigators determine that the motorist saw the crash and then left the scene, he or she could be charged with felony manslaughter, police said.

Hen suffered severe injuries including crushes legs, but was alert and talking to family members immediately after the crash, officials said. He was taken to Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Woodland Hills, but his condition quickly deteriorated.

Thursday, he was declared brain dead, said Linda Quon, a spokeswoman for the hospital. his death may have been caused by a fat emboli, a condition similar to a blood clot that sometimes occurs with serious injuries, officials said. An autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death.

His passenger, Rashid Rashid, 18, of Chatsworth was recovering at home from cuts and bruises.

The Hens emigrated from Israel in 1990 and settled in the San Fernando Valley. Avi Hen built up a small, family-run automotive parts supply business in the Canoga Park area. Nimrod Hen lived with his parents and graduated in June from Chatsworth High School, where he was a popular student who assisted in the dean’s office.

“He was very friendly, very outgoing, very well-liked by all his peers,” said a school secretary. “He knew everyone in the offices here. As soon as he walked in, he would light up and say, ‘Hey, how you doing?”

“Right now the family has nothing to say,” family spokesman Joseph Knoller said by telephone from their Chatsworth home. “What can I tell you except that it’s a terrible tragedy?”

Times staff writer Patricia Ward Biederman and David Pierson contributed to this report.

Metrolink Train Crash Victim Represented by the Law Firm of Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson is Awarded $2,000,000

in Car Accidents, News, Personal Injury

Playa Del Rey, CA
August 19, 2011

In a lawsuit brought against Metrolink, Connex, and other Defendants, a train passenger and his wife represented by Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson have been awarded $2,000,000 in a recent Los Angeles superior court judgment. The law firm is pleased to have been given the opportunity to succesfully represent this couple in this serious matter.

Stephen A. Jamieson, a partner at Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson, and Soheyl Tahsildoost, an Associate at the firm, prepared and submitted to Judge Lichtman a comprehensive damages evaluation. Injuries suffered included a fractured tibia, compression fractures of the spine, deep wounds on his legs, hematoma, tearing of cartilage in the knee, large joint effusions, cartlage delamination, numerous cuts and bruises, and other injuries. The case was tried to Judge Lichtman on damages.

The clients were injured as a result of a 2008 collision between a commuter train owned by Metrolink and operated by Connex which collided head on with a freight train. Both trains were travelling at approximately 40 miles per hour. Evidence reflected that the conductor of the Metrolink train was texting from his cell phone minutes before the train crash and missed a red light on the tracks. Twenty-four individuals perished in the crash, and nearly 100 others were injured.

As a result of a statutory maximum set by Congress, the maximum that could be recovered by all the victims of this tragic event in total is $200,000,000. Judge Licthman was tasked with allocating among the 124 victims and their families. Judge Lichtman likened this task to “triaging,” whereby he was forced to distribute an inadequate amount among many deserving and badly injured or deceased victim’s families. His own original tentative awards were $64 million in excess of the $200 million cap on recovery.

With over 100 years of combined experience the Law Firm of Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson have achieved many exceptional results in many areas of the law including, but not limited to, obtaining compensation for clients who have suffered serious personal injuries including brain injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, paralysis, resulting from different types of motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and all types of negligence and intentional actions and omissions, caused by transportation agencies and companies, and others.
