Motorcyclist Dies in Traffic Accident in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (March 11th, 2021) – According to information released by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, a young motorcyclist lost his life in a traffic accident on March 11th in Rancho Cucamonga.

Around 8:30 p.m., authorities from the Rancho Cucamonga Station were dispatched to a reported accident involving a motorcycle and an SUV. The accident occurred near the intersection of East Avenue and Banyan Street.

Based on preliminary investigations, the motorcyclist, identified only as a 21-year-old man from Rancho Cucamonga, was traveling on the first lane of Banyan Street toward East Avenue. The driver of the SUV, identified as a 17-year-old from Fontana, was traveling east on the left side of Banyan Street attempting to make a left turn onto East Avenue.

The 17-year-old SUV driver made a left turn on a green arrow at the intersection. Witnesses report that the motorcyclist continued to travel through the intersection and collided with the front end of the SUV.

The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department was immediately dispatched to the scene and personnel made attempts to save the motorcyclists’ life. The rider was pronounced dead at the scene.

The traffic accident is currently being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Major Accident Investigation Team. The Rancho Cucamonga Police Department is asking anyone with information about the accident to contact their local office.

There are many challenges and dangers motorcyclists face when out on the road. Unfortunately, most motorcycle accidents have devastating consequences. Although not all motorcycle accidents will have deadly consequences, most result in very serious injuries that lead to a lifetime of pain and emotional turmoil.

According to some reports, the single most dangerous situation for riders happens when other vehicles are making left-hand turns. These types of accidents account for almost half of all motorcycle accidents. For the most part, turning cars collide with riders when the rider is passing the car, going straight on an intersection, or is trying to overtake the car. While these accidents are also common among regular passenger vehicles, these accidents are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists as a result of their small frames. Motorcycles can sometimes be hard to see and this makes riders vulnerable to left-turn accidents.

In the State of California, lane splitting is legal and unfortunately, this can oftentimes place the lives of riders at risk of a serious traffic accident. Lane splitting happens when a rider travels between two lanes of stopped or slowly moving vehicles, which usually happens during rush hour. Lane splitting can be a common cause of motorcycle accidents because of the reduced space riders have to maneuver. It is also dangerous as a result of the close proximity riders have to the vehicles they are passing. Additionally, most drivers fail to check for passing motorcycles when switching lanes.

Another common cause of motorcycle accidents are roadway hazards. Riders face a higher sense of risk in roadway hazards than most vehicles on the road because of their smaller size and because of their unstable nature. Any slick pavement conditions, potholes, uneven pavement, and surrounding infrastructure can pose a serious threat to the safety of motorcyclists. Since riders are far smaller than most vehicles, they may be unseen when there are street signs or greenery blocking them from view.

Motorcycle accidents involving injuries are serious and they demand immediate action. Even when an injury is not immediately visible after an accident, it is likely that the injury will develop in time. Because of this, it is incredibly important to obtain a full medical evaluation after the accident and seek the support of a skilled personal injury attorney. An experienced litigator will ensure the highest amount of compensation is obtained.

At the Law Offices of Attorney Justin H. King, advocating on behalf of injured motorcycle riders is a top priority.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

I was involved in my first big automobile accident last year, in Yorba Linda. I was a bit overwhelmed as you can imagine. Friends suggested that I hire an attorney to handle my case and I was not quite sure how to proceed. I was very fortunate when I was referred to Justin King’s office.I met with Mr. King and found him to be very personable and he listened to my concerns. I felt very comfortable and confident that he would help me in getting a fair outcome to my case.I want to also thank Garrett Tuckerman for all he did in keeping me updated with everything going on with my case and for being there whenever I had any questions or concerns. I also want to mention Leoni Barrera who was always pleasant and supportive when I called.I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King for your personal injury needs. I feel that Mr. King and his whole staff, with their knowledge, expertise and professionalism will help make your experience a less stressful one.

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.

They kept us updated and we were reassured that we were in good hands. I want to also express my gratitude to Garrett for being so empathic and supportive through the ups and downs that comes with a case. We are so blessed to have had them handle our case. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional and dependable office. Thank you again Justin King Office!!!

I went from feeling like a basket case from all the stress to feeling calm and collected after talking to Justin. He is a phenomenal personal injury lawyer and is a truly calming and reassuring presence. This firm helped me in ways I can't even adequately put into words, other than to say Thank You, Justin, to you and your awesome team.

After an auto accident, I felt really nervous calling an attorney because I had never worked with one before. But from the first conversation I had with Jessica, I felt so at ease. Justin then called me and was so easy going and we had a nice conversation too. The entire staff took great care of me and I am very happy.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault two years ago. A friend of mine had a family member who had been helped in the past by Justin King, and they suggested I call him. I'm so glad I did! Justin and his team took great care of my situation and got a great settlement for me. I highly recommend them if you have been in an accident. You will be very happy with what this firm.

When I needed a lawyer following a car accident on the Interstate 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, Justin King, and his team were there for me. I appreciated how his entire staff always seemed happy to answer my questions and were so good about returning all my phone calls and emails. I could tell this firm has immense experience in helping people get their life back after an unfortunate car crash. I was so happy with the outcome of my case and the results Justin obtained from the insurance company on my behalf. I have recommended their office to all my family members and neighbors. I hope you never need to call them. But if you need the best car accident lawyers, I can vouch that they are excellent.
