Mr. Roberts, 26-year-old journeyman ironworker was rendered paraplegic following his motorcycle crash. The accident happened as he was coming home from a late night out on a road in the city of Yuma, Arizona. Roberts had stopped at a stop sign to enter a major highway, entered the roadway, and attempted to negotiate a curve. As his motorcycle reached the curve, the roadway dropped underneath. The cycle hit a curve and rolled over. Roberts argued that the city was negligent for failing to reduce the speed of the roadway and failing to warn of the curve. The judge in this case found the city of Yuma was negligent for failure to install proper signs around the area in question and returned a $1,163,000 award. The award was comprised of $514,000 for the present value of future lost earnings, $199,000 for past and future medical expenses, and $450,000 for pain and suffering.

Mr. Zamarripa, a 17-year-old youth, sustained severe brain damage, including spastic paralysis and a speech impediment when the motorcycle he was riding as a passenger crashed into a van at an intersection. Zamarripa claimed that a five foot high wall on the Union Oil company’s property caused his stepfather, who was driving the motorcycle, to be unable to see on-coming cars at the intersection. Zamarripa sued the city of Coachella for negligently placing the wall.
The defending oil company denied this claim and argued that the wall had nothing to do with the accident which took place 86 feet past the intersection.
The verdict was in favor of Zamarripa, who recieved $1,000,000 damages. It was judged, however, that only the city, and not the oil company, were responsible for the placement of the wall.

Gas is currently at its cheapest since 2009, and Americans couldn’t be happier. The 2014 holiday season saw 98.6 million—the most people ever—traveling, and 89.5 million of those people did so with a road trip. Not coincidentally, gas was also at its lowest for the holiday season since 2009, and since then it’s dropped even lower.
Like a bajillion other Americans, last night my husband and I watched America’s Happy Time Sports Christmas, also known as Super Bowl XLIX. Commercials are, of course, half the event, and one of the multi-million-dollar spots has people talking, if we take “talking” to mean “completely eviscerating on account of its horrifying lack of sensitivity.” Yes, that commercial.
Anyone who has been involved in a serious car accident in Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Bellevue, or anywhere in Western Washington, knows how scary and surreal the experience can be. The slow-motion nature of the crash itself, the sense of helplessness and fear during the event, and those awful moments following the crash when the extent of injury is unknown and the wait for help seems to take forever. And for a fatality collision, the shock and trauma for all people involved can be unimaginable.
