Newcomer left the scene of the crash, but was found shortly afterward and arrested on suspicion of felony DUI, hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, fewer people were killed in Orange County car accidents in 2010 than in the year 2009. A news report in The Orange County Register stated that 105 people were killed in Orange County car crashes in 2010. That is 49 less traffic fatalities than reported for the previous year. Officials say highway improvements and safety programs may have contributed to the decreasing numbers. Others suggest that the number of traffic fatalities in Orange County has gone down because of improved safety devices in vehicles as well as fewer commuters on the roadways. Whatever the cause, Orange County and statewide traffic fatalities on freeways and surface streets has consistently dropped since 2006.

2009 Traffic Accident Statistics

According to California Highway Patrol’s 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 141 fatalities and 13,373 injuries were reported as a result of Orange County car accidents. During that same year, 62 people were killed in drunk driving collisions, 41 were killed in pedestrian accidents, 12 were fatally injured in bicycle accidents and 17 traffic fatalities resulted from Orange County motorcycle accidents.

The California employment lawyers at Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, LLP noted a current case regarding uniform maintenance. If your employer requires you to wear a uniform to work, the employer usually must provide the uniforms for you. However, are you responsible for the cleaning bills for your uniforms? This is a question that the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California considered in the 2008 case of O’Connor v. Starbucks Corp.

The Court determined in this case that if an employee does not need to have a uniform professionally laundered or otherwise specially cared for, the employer is not responsible for paying for the uniform’s upkeep.

The case involved a Starbuck’s employee who claimed that his aprons required professional laundering or dry cleaning and wanted the company to pay these bills. The employee claimed that he had spent his own money to properly clean the Starbuck’s aprons and wanted the employer to reimburse him for these costs. The case proceeded to the U. S. District Court where it was heard under the umbrella of wage and hour litigation.

The U. S. District Court justices decided in this case that there was insufficient evidence to show that professional cleaning was required for the employee aprons. Specifically, the Court determined that the aprons could in fact be machine-washed. Because of this finding, the Court ruled that Starbucks was not responsible for paying for the cleaning needed for the aprons, and noted that when “routine care” was all that was required to clean uniforms, the employer should not be held responsible for the cleaning bills.
