excerpt:
From Rhode Island to California, much of our nation’s street and highway infrastructure is safe and sound. Millions of Americans travel along these thoroughfares every year without incident. However, thousands of traffic accidents occur every year in Rhode Island , California and other states. When these continue to happen in and around the same stretch of highway, intersection or surface street, and especially when those incidents cause catastrophic injury or death, a personal injury attorney should be consulted. The RI or CA Negligence LAWYER WILL determine if claims lie against one or more government entities based upon a theory that the roadway is dangerous by design and should be improved by local government officials.
Such a claim has many hurdles to overcome including potential governmental immunity defenses. If successful, however, they can not only result in substantial compensation to the victims or the family of a wrongful death decedent but, can also serve to spur improvements that can reduce future accidents and save lives.

There can be few greater breaches of public trust than a police officer who abuses their power to commit sexual assaults on women. Such was the case for far too long with regard to San Diego Police Officer, Anthony Arevalos, who had a pattern of pulling women over, accusing them of DUI, and then demanding sex in exchange for not arresting them. Hopefully, this multi-million dollar settlement will encourage the City of San Diego and other California law enforcement agencies to better screen, train and supervise their officers so that similar incidents don't happen in the future.
