A Chino resident, Jesus Rodriguez, 45, lost his life Monday morning following a devastating crash involving his electric bicycle and a box truck.
Chino officials reported that Jesus Rodriguez, 45, died Monday morning following a crash involving his e-bike and a box truck.
The fatal incident took place at about 8:22 a.m. on September 22. The collision occurred at the intersection of Schaefer Avenue and 12th Street, specifically in the westbound lanes.
Rodriguez was rushed to a local hospital but tragically died from his injuries. The driver of the box truck, who is a Montclair resident, stayed at the scene and cooperated with Chino police.
Few details about the crash were immediately available, as the Chino police department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
When fully loaded, a commercial vehicle can weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds, and even a sideswipe or low-speed impact with a vulnerable road user like a bicyclist can result in serious, life-altering injuries—or worse. Nearly 1,000 bicyclists die and over 130,000 are injured in crashes that occur on roads in the United States every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Candice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney, says investigations into box-truck crashes require a variety of resources.
“A skilled attorney can protect a grieving family from trucking companies, which often send their investigators to crash sites and possess a variety of resources they can utilize to defend a negligent truck driver,” added Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
Bond, who is also a national legal analyst for The Legal Advocate, noted that in cases such as this, it is important to have an independent investigation conducted sooner than later to preserve any evidence.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of the ongoing investigation, the family of Jesus Rodriguez may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims can seek damages for losses such as companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident like this collision.
Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal, commented, “Grieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights.”
“An attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during this difficult time, and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to,” Bond added.
