Motorcycles & Angeles Crest - One of California's Most Dangerous Roads

Since 1998, 33 motorcyclists have died on Angeles Crest highway, says the LA Times in a recent article about a section of the road that is re-opening after being closed since 2005. I'm actually very familiar with this road, as I live just a few miles away and have driven it many times - both in a car and motorcycle.

However fun, it is a dangerous place for many. According to the LA Times article, it is one of the five most dangerous roads in the country. Not just motorcycle accidents, but cars, trucks, and even bicyclists are frequently injured or killed. Even pedestrians at intersections are at risk from runaway vehicles; a few months ago a semi truck crashed through a building.

Besides mechanical failure and the negligence of drivers, road conditions (both natural and man-made) can be a factor in vehicle accidents. Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorneys Owen Patterson & Owen have handled a case involving wet-paint on the crest causing a rider to slide out. The firm is located in the Santa Clarita Valley which has seen a 30% rise in motorcycle accidents since 2007.

California Conservatorships - As the US Baby Boomers Age

Conservatorships typically affect those over 85 - and this age group is the fasted growing in California; it will increase by 143% between 1990 & 2020. This information comes http://www.aging.ca.gov.

Much like increase in motorcycle accidents due to commuters turning to motorcycles when gas prices rose, this increase in the legal needs of people presents an opportunity for law firms.

Several law firms with whom I consult list conservatorships as a practice area including Mark Boykin - Woodland Hills & Michele Mann - Santa Clarita. Having worked closely with these attorneys for some time now- I know the level of commitment they provide to clients. When browsing their respective web sites - you'll find information about the personal level of detail that these attorneys provide that goes beyond expectations that people have of their lawyers. This is especially important in casesinvolving family member's ability to make sound decisions.
