After months of studies, Toyota has finally arrived at a solution to its defective car mats that caused the death of a CHP officer’s family back in August.
Toyota spokesperson Brian Lyons said that they modified the pedals making it ¾ of an inch shorter than the previous with more rounded edges. They would also replace the Styrofoam padding under the floor carpet of the Camry, Lexus and Avalon models. A system was also installed to cut the power in case of a sudden acceleration.
Lyons added that these remedies were arrived at after extensive testing of their cars and consultation with the federal transportation officials.
Lyons also clarified that there was no indication of faulty wiring in a recent incident involving Lexus ES 350.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 14 fatalities and eight injuries had been reported due to cases of sudden acceleration.
Injuries or deaths due to defective cars or car parts may be a subject of a product liability case. The filing of a personal injury case can help victims recover compensation claims.
Life does not go back to the same path wherein the word normal fits a person after he recovered from a truck accident. It is never easy to accept the consequences of an accident, especially when one’s life was taken away. No amount of surgeries or therapies can bring back what has been damaged or destroyed by an accident.
Severe injuries were what a young woman got from a semi trailer truck accident in California. Her body suffered serious injuries—fractured bones and severe cuts on her skin. She was riding her bike on the beach that time.
Who would have thought that a simple bicycle ride on the beach would lead next to a horrific accident like that? The truck driver was driving on the right side of the lane when it happened.
The damages she sustained from an accident had put her life on a halt. Her life, her work, her activities before now hang on a thread. And if she recovers fully from her injuries, not every single thing will revert back to normal.
Drivers should be more careful when driving because hitting someone is not what they would want to happen. Their actions will cause someone’s life to change drastically. As time passes by, the law becomes stricter and stricter to lessen accidents like this.
But it does not stop other drivers to become irresponsible with driving. They should know that for every action that they do, there are repercussions. Roads are not race tracks. Drivers should be aware of traffic rules and regulations.
They should not use their cell phones when driving. They should not drive when they have taken drugs or drank alcohol. When they are tired, they should rest or sleep and refrain from driving. Drivers should not treat the roads like race tracks thus over speeding should not be done.
A single car collision which was caused by DUI has injured three vehicle occupants in Montebello. One of them had major injuries as he was ejected from the vehicle.
The 33-year-old Whittier man identified as Lester Enrique Chupina was apprehended on charges of felony drunk driving.
Alcohol and speeding is a deadly combination as it can cause critical injuries to vehicle occupants. Drivers must never overestimate their driving skills and underestimate the dangers of alcohol.
A person’s negligence can lead to accidents that could result in self-inflicted harm or injury. Furthermore, the resulting injuries can hurt not only humans but animals, as well, such as one’s pet.
A woman and her dog were both hurt after a Toyota Camry she was driving crashed into a telephone pole in Orange.
Emergency crews removed the woman and her dog from the vehicle.
The dog was brought to a veterinarian to receive treatment for an injured leg while the woman was brought to a hospital.
Animal owners should also protect the lives of their pets, not just their own, while they are traveling with them. The number of accidents like this one may be reduced if only drivers will learn the importance of following traffic rules that are being implemented by the state.
Three men are now being sought by the San Francisco Police in connection with the recent hit-and-run accident that killed an 84-year-old man inside his vehicle.
The crash which took place shortly after midnight is also said to have damaged parked cars in the intersection.
Witnesses say they saw three men fleeing from their vehicle after the crash.
Causing an accident is a terrible thing but in this case, the men worsened their violation by fleeing the scene of the accident and failed to alert authorities of their situation.
Motorists should remember that they are obliged to leave their identity and insurance details with the other party in case they are to be involved in an accident.
Hit-and-run accidents will leave the victim’s family with no closure and burden of not knowing who committed the wrongdoing that took the life of their loved ones.
In case these suspects are apprehended, the family must immediately contact a personal injury lawyer and file wrongful death claims against the defendants.
