Salvador Calderas v. Andrew Collins, et al.

Summary

A California state court jury heard opening statements September 18 in a lawsuit filed by a man claiming he suffered serious back and neck injuries after being rear-ended by a sheriff’s deputy who fell asleep at the wheel.

Plaintiff Salvador Calderas blames San Bernardino County for injuries he claims he sustained in the 2021 incident. While the county admits liability for the underlying accident the parties disagree over the extent of Calderas’ underlying injuries and whether or not the treatment he received after the accident was necessary.
