Santa Clara Fatal Car Accident on Great American Parkway

SANTA CLARA (April 13, 2017)

Per the CBS Local News San Francisco, a deadly DUI 2-car crash occurred Thursday night on Great America Parkway just east of Highway 101.

At roughly 11:30 p.m., a man identified as Vinod Bonthu, 26, of Sunnyvale, was the driver of a Mercedes who had been driving erratically at high speeds. As Bonthu exited northbound Highway 101 to Great America Parkway, he suddenly lost control and veered into oncoming traffic trigger a crash with a Subaru Forester.

Two motorists tragically suffered fatal injuries following the crash as they have since been identified as Angela Bontilao, 92, and Carina Kubow, 61. Kubow and Bontailo were mother and daughter.

Two other unidentified women were in the Subaru and were moderate to seriously injured. Both women were rushed to the emergency room and are expected to survive.

Per the article, the four women were coming back home after attending a Good Friday church service.

Meanwhile, Vinod Bonthu was injured in the crash and transported by ambulance to Valley Med Center before being arrested on DUI and vehicular manslaughter charges.

A stretch of Great America Parkway remained completely shut down for an unknown period of time while CHP officials gathered details in order to decipher what exactly transpired leading up the accident.

We are deeply saddened by the news of this tragedy. We offer our prayers and heartfelt condolences to the injured victims, their friends, and family members during such a difficult time.

You have Questions. We have Answers.

What is My
Case Worth?

Your Answer

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?
