Politician Injured in Los Angeles Truck Accident

Mike Feuer, a democratic State Assemblyman who is currently running for city attorney was injured today in a Los Angeles truck accident. Feuer was driving his Toyota Prius when his vehicle was allegedly struck by a truck that ran a red light. Mr. Feuer was taken to the hospital, but his injuries were fortunately described as not life threatening.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Assemblyman Feuer’s campaign spokesperson said that the campaign will continue and that Feuer should hopefully make a quick recovery from his truck accident injuries. The L.A. Times also reported that Feuer was on his way to watch newly elected district attorney for Los Angeles County, Jackie Lacey, get sworn into office at the Galen Center in South Los Angeles, when he was in the Los Angeles car accident. The Galen Center is the arena where the USC Trojans basketball team plays its home games.

It was not disclosed if the rain in Southern California today contributed to causing this auto accident in Los Angeles. However, there were many rain accidents reported throughout Los Angeles today. For this reason, it is again advised that all drivers take extra precautions when driving in the rain, including keeping a larger distance between themselves and the vehicle in front of them, and driving slower than normal.


In a red light accident such as this one, determining fault is key from a personal injury claim standpoint. Often, these accidents become a case of “he said she said,” where each driver accuses the other driver of running the red light. Often, a party may apologize for causing the collision, but later change his or her story when talking to the police or to an insurance company. Therefore, its very important to secure witness contact information and obtain statements from all witnesses to the red light intersection collision. Securing a favorable witness can make a difficult personal injury case much easier.
