Wrongful Death

A tragic motorcycle versus truck collision occurred in Sonoma, California, causing the death of the motorcyclist. He was survived by his wife and three children. The collision was caused when a truck, driven by the defendant, started out from a private drive and across a two lane highway directly into the motorcyclist’s path. Not only was the defendant truck driver’s maneuver reckless, but his truck was in a defective condition with broken side lights which might have given the decedent advance notice of the movement of the truck into the highway.
