Motorcycle Accident takes Lives of Bakersfield Couple

A head on accident involving a motorcycle and a car driven by 74 year old Hazel Halloran took the lives of a popular Bakersfield couple, Jim and Debbie Harmon. The couple was riding their Harley Davidson motorcycle early in the morning when it was struck by Halloran's Buick. Jim Harmon suffered cardiac arrest enroute to the hospital, and his wife was transferred to Kern Medical Center where she died. Ms. Halloran suffered no injuries in the accident.
The deceased couple was on their way to a motorcycle safety conference according to family members, when Halloran drifted off of the road and lost control by overcorrecting to get back on the roadway, which resulted in hitting Harmon's motorcycle head-on. Jim and Debbie Harmon were very well known and liked in the Bakersfield motorcycle community. They were active in local charities, and Jim served as president of the Bakersfield Toy Run, which is an organization that collects food and toys for needy families and is the largest in California. While many people believe that riding motorcycles is unsafe, it actually can be a
safe activity. Bakersfield
personal injury lawyers often notice that wrecks are caused by negligent or careless drivers that drive under the influence, speed, tailgate and cut off motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, many bikers are killed that are following the rules of the road, and other careless motorists cause the accidents. All motorcyclists should ride safely, wear an approved helmet, and make certain their motorcycle is in proper working order. Motorcycle accidents are not always caused by the driver; in fact, many are caused by other motorists who fail to pay attention.

Motorcyclists can also help avoid accidents by riding in well-lit areas, and avoiding unsafe roads. Many times sharp curves, rough surfaces and steep turns can be dangerous circumstances for someone riding a motorcycle. People who are injured in motorcycle accidents because of the negligence or carelessness of another motorists may be eligible to be compensated for their injuries, and survivors of a victim may claim damages for wrongful death.

Law Officer Pleads Guilty to Criminal Activity

I just returned from San Diego but in various Atlanta legal news, a County State Court Probation Officer (Natalie Nicole Dunn) has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit the crime of extortion in a criminal charge fixing enterprise.
All in all, Dunn and her partner in crime Keith Hughes were picked by the FBI after a sting was implemented, with a man that had some pending criminal charges, according to the United States District Attorney Dave Nahmias. All in all, he contacted the individuals who had been arrested for narcotics related offenses and then stated that his pending charges would be dropped for a large payment to her and Hughes, allegedly at least in the criminal defense case. During the plans, the Federal Bureau of Investigation put into place, the individuals who had the potential narcotics charges against him paid the defendents in question a pair of five thousand dollar down payments on the dismissal of his said charges. All in all, this reminds me a similiar criminal defense case in San Diego which occured some time ago. Speaking of that, if you are in need a qualified San Diego criminal attorney then let me suggest this one who also is agood domestic violence lawyer as well, for that matter. Meanwhile, in another meeting late last year he told the individual that he and Dunn would even create some fake reports to the DeKalb County District Attorney Office, stating that he was cooperating in other investigations. Of course, they are considered to be completely innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. As a side note, if you find yourself needing a quality criminal defense attorney in San Diego or elsewhere then allow me to suggest the aforementioned firm, he is one of the leading ones that that you will find in the whole area of southern California overall. Hughes was employed as the Coordinator of the DeKalb County Office of Pretrial Services and has not gone to trial on his charges.

Criminal Minds Actor Injured In Bicycle Accident

According to reports Shemar Moore the popular agent Derek Morgan on television crime drama Criminal Minds was injured in a Los Angeles bicycle accident.
The 39 year old actor according to his publicist Staci Wolfe, Moore was injured while riding a bicycle in Los Angeles, and suffered from a broken leg as a result of the incident. Moore was struck by a vehicle and sustained the broken leg and publicist Wolfe stated the actor is alright. Somebody may need a criminal defense attorney when this is all said and done. The actor was taken from the scene of the accident to an area hospital where he was treated for a broken leg and later released. The Oakland born Moore is said to be recuperating at home in Los Angeles, after sustaining the broken leg. If you require a qualified Los Angeles criminal defense attorney then let me suggest Ramiro Luis as he is one of the very best.
There has been no word about Moore’s broken leg being written into the Criminal Minds character Derek Morgan.
