Man, 88, Trips and Falls in Front of Moving Bus

POMONA, California (May 6, 2016) – An 88-year-old man was killed after being struck by a transit bus on Reservoir Street Friday morning, according to SGV Tribune.

The accident happened at around 10:00 a.m. just north of Phillips Boulevard.

Preliminary reports stated that the elderly was on the pedestrian side of the road when he suddenly tripped and fell in front of a moving bus.

The event led to the bus tires hitting the elderly, as mentioned in the article.

The force from the impact concluded with the elderly lying lifeless on the ground.

Authorities responded to the site and located the bus driver. The SGV Tribune published that driver did not appear to be intoxicated.

Investigation remained underway.

You have Questions. We have Answers.

What is My
Case Worth?

Every personal injury case is unique and many factors are used to value each case. The losses from your claim include the amount of the medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, etc. The most important factor is your life change resulting from the injury. Typically, the larger the injury and life change, the larger the settlement. We discuss your personal injury claim’s worth during your free consultation.

Should I talk to
Insurance Company

Your Answer

The first thing you should do is contact an attorney. Without the representation of a lawyer, insurance companies might make contact with you directly, and since they are trained to protect their best interests, this could mean a loss of rights on your behalf, especially if you unknowingly sign something that they didn't completely explain to you. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

How Long will
it Take?

Your Answer

The length of a personal injury case depends on many factors including the evaluation and treatment of the injury. The bigger the injury, the longer it takes to treat. Attorney James Johnson helps you be aggressive with the treatment, so the average case normally takes between two and five months. Those who have serious injuries and need surgery may take several months longer. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

What if I'm
Not Insured?

Your Answer

Many victims believe if you don't have health insurance you don't have a case - this NOT true. In fact, those with health insurance usually don't use it since there are so many restrictions and steps to overcome to receive authorization for treatment. Johnson Attorneys Group assists you in finding the best doctors to help. Most of them even wait until a settlement for payment.

Can I Do It
Myself?

Your Answers

Handling a personal injury claim by yourself is very difficult. You will deal directly with the insurance adjuster who is often trained to obtain the information they are not entitled to use. This information can negatively impact and de-value your case. Once your case is damaged, it is very difficult to repair it and usually costs you thousands of dollars less in a settlement.

How Much
Does it Cost?

Your Answers

You do not pay anything unless you win. We work on a contingency-fee-basis, so we’re only paid if we win your case. When the case is settled, our fee is a percentage, as previously agreed, of the final settlement. These fees are described in full detail in our signed contract before work begins on the case. We cover the case upfront costs including everything from copying and court filing fees to hiring experts - so all your focus can be on getting well.
