Fontana, California (February 8, 2020) – Two people were injured Friday evening in a traffic accident involving a garbage truck in Fontana, according to a local news source.

At about 5:06 p.m. Friday, February 7, authorities received a report about the traffic crash at the intersection of Cherry and Whittram avenues.

The authorities said a Burrtec Waste garbage truck and a white Chevy Silverado pickup collided at the Fontana intersection. The garbage truck then struck a traffic pole.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and extricated the garbage truck driver who was trapped in the wreckage. The victim was then transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center with major injuries.

The operator of the pickup suffered minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.

The accident remains under investigation.

Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.

Mr. Khodaverdian encourages victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
