My New Book Coming Soon

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:59:27 +0000

For the past eight months, I have been working on a book with my co-author Allen P. Wilkinson. The book is a Consumer’s guide to all things having to do with the California personal injury and wrongful death system and is entitled “Accidents Happen.”

While it has always been a dream of mine to write a book, it never would have been possible without having my co-author’s guidance, mentorship and experience. Allen is not only an accomplished trial lawyer with more than 25+ years in handling all types of catastrophic injury and complex litigation cases, but he previously wrote the popular book Everybody’s Guide to the Law which was published by HarperCollins in 1986 with a second edition in 2003.

When the idea came up to co-author a book that the average person can use and understand we jumped at the opportunity. Not only is being involved in an accident a traumatic experience, but the toll it can take both physically and mentally is terrifying. Add that to the unknown world of the law and dealing with insurance companies and adjusters and things can quickly turn into a nightmare.

What we hope to achieve with Accidents Happen is to provide an inside look into specific areas of California’s personal injury laws in plain, easy to understand language. We hope to dispel some of the fears and myths that people usually have when involved in a serious accident. We provide an inside look into the main questions that most people have when they first call and provide them with tips and examples that might be similar to their own experiences.

I am extremely proud of the hard work that Allen and I have put into this book and look forward to its release in June. Since we are getting closer to the final printing, I will post updates more frequently including the final front and back cover, how to get a copy, as well as where the proceeds of the sales will be going. Thank you all for your continued support.

210 Freeway Accident with Big Rig Leaves 3 Dead

In a tragic incident this morning, an SUV rear-ended a Big Rig on the Foothill 210 Freeway at around 5:00am, leaving a couple and a 14-year-old boy dead. The crash occurred in Sunland, when the SUV burst into flames upon impact. Two other children who were riding in the SUV survived and were taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary measures but were not known to have suffered any injuries. The big rig driver was also taken to the hospital complaining of various injuries.

It is unclear as to why the SUV rear-ended the big rig truck, but the SUV was pulling a trailer. An investigation is pending into the causes of this crash. If your or a loved one have been injured as a result of a truck or big rig accident, you should immediately speak with an attorney that can explain your legal rights. An experienced law firm will want to begin an investigation and determine the causes and factors that contributed to the accident. An SUV should not burst into flames upon impact – you may have a product liability claim against the car manufacturer.
