Sacramento Car Accident Lawyer Blog

I was looking through the internet today and I found quite the interesting article. I don’t know just how much help it will give to you, but think of it as an ice-breaker to be used at the next awkward situation you face. Take, for example, that you discover that the person standing next to you (in such awkward situation) works at Camel Cigarettes. “Oh, so you’re a tobacconist?”, you would say, “Well, do you know that you are in the second-most likely profession to be involved in a car crash?” Ice-breaker success!

Take at the research supplied by moneysupermarket.com on what professions are the most likely/least likely to be involved in a car crash…

Most likely are:

1. Lifeguard - 13.79 per cent
2. Tobacconist - 13.64 per cent
3. Doctor/ GP - 12.96 per cent
4. Surgeon 12.76 per cent

7. Gynecologist 12.5 per cent
8. Insurance Inspector 12.44 per cent
9. Psychologist 12.33 per cent
10. Meteorologist 12.26 per cent

1. Astrologer 1.75 per cent

Three high school students were involved in a fatal car accident south of our Sacramento home in Rancho Mirage, California. The three students had only just begun their senior year at a private high school, Palm Valley High. The accident occurred about 10 minutes after the students finished school when the driver, 17-year old Tabitha Loftis, lost control of the car and crashed into a tree.

Tabitha, along with the two other students, both 17-year old males, were pronounced dead at the scene. One thing that touched me deeply about this article was the reaction described by the students. The article reported that the school closed for the following day after the crash, but 80% of the students went to school to either talk to grief counselors or seek each other’s comfort. These three students were dearly loved.

These types of accidents, which involve people so young, are incredibly tragic. It is such a devastation for someone to die so young. At our Personal Injury Law Office, we have seen the immense amount of sadness that follows an car accident of this kind. If a loved one has ever been in a tragic accident because of someone else’s negligence, please give me a call at the Law Offices of Moseley Collins, I am here to help.

A woman from the Sacramento area, in Folsom, California, was charged on Friday with a hit-and-run accident. The accident killed a 15-year old Granite Bay High School student, Courtney Parker. She and friend were walking along Auburn-Folsom Road one night when the accident occurred. Courtney was hit by the Rav4 while on the road’s right shoulder as the vehicle continued on the road without stopping. Courtney was sadly passed away, as she was taken off of life-support two days later.

The day after the accident, a woman called the police to say that she believes she may have hit a deer or another object while driving on the road that night. An investigation tied the 50-year old woman to the hit-and-run accident and subsequent death.

Please be careful to be safe while walking on the roads. To all drivers, be careful and aware! Accidents often occur when we do not expect for something or someone to be there. If you or someone you love has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, please contact me at the Law Offices of Moseley Collins. We are here to listen and help you in your time of need.
