41-year-old Robert S. Johnson was killed in a tragic pedestrian accident that occurred on October 31, 2011, around 6:42 p.m. at the intersection of Arlington Avenue and Lake Street. According to Riverside Police Department, Johnson was hit by a sport utility vehicle.
Johnson suffered life threatening injuries and was immediately transported to Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead around 7:13 p.m. From the available information, it is unclear what led to this fatal car wreck. The accident is under investigation.
The victim’s family members should immediately seek counsel from an experienced Riverside County car wreck lawyer who would educate them about their legal rights. Johnson’s family members can file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault car driver to obtain compensation to cover funeral and burial costs, loss of anticipated wages, loss of love, care and companionship, and other accident-related damages.
Our law office offers sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved Johnson for such a heart rendering loss.
