Steven M. Sweat's insight:

Unfortunately, fatalities in #aviation #accidents are usually the norm rather than the exception.  Unlike car accidents and other types of vehicular crashes, airplanes and helicopters rarely survive intact after a crash and there are usually few, if any, survivors.  This leads to potential claims for wrongful death for the families of the victims, which is a subset of personal injury claims and requires a knowledgeable wrongful death attorney who is familiar with the process for filing such claims including determining which relatives of the decedent are or may be entitled to compensation.

Steven M. Sweat's insight:

If you have been the victim of a personal injury and obtain compensation from a third party and are a medicare recipient, you may have to reimburse medicare for some of the money paid for your medical treatment.  An experienced California personal injury attorney can assist you with first obtaining maximum recovery from the third party at fault and then with negotiating a reduction of any medicare liens.

Canada was affected too, with two deaths after the snow storm caused 200 traffic accidents in Ontario, reported CBC.
Steven M. Sweat's insight:

During the winter months, especially, weather can be a serious factor in causing automobile collisions.  California Vehicle Code section 22350 mandates that drivers of motor vehicles travel at a speed which is "reasonable and prudent" factoring road conditions and weather.  Luckily, snow and ice are not a big problem in most parts of the Golden State, however, the winter months bring a lot of rain, which is a cause for traffic incidents. Failure to slow down in these rainy conditions can be deemed negligence.  If this results in bodily injury, a California car accident attorney can determine if you may be entitled to money damages.

California Bus Operator Ordered to Shut Down After Fatal Crash

California Bus Operator Ordered to Shut Down After Fatal Crash | California Car Accident and Injury Attorney News | Scoop.it
Federal regulators have ordered Scapadas Magicas L.L.C. to pull its tour buses off the road because they pose an imminent hazard to public safety.
Steven M. Sweat's insight:

Mechanical problems on commercial bus lines are, unfortunately, much more common than is perceived according to this article.  Although Federal and California state regulations require regular and consistent safety inspections and maintenance, this requirement is apparently routinely ignored by transportation companies.  It is tragic that this may have contributed to eight persons losing their lives and scores more being injured.  A California bus accident attorney is familiar with the rules regarding safety of equipment such as buses on commercial vehicles and could analyze further whether this was negligence that would legally entitle the victims and their families to monetary compensation.
