Description: Riverside, CA: Personal injury truck wreck lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendants on auto negligence theories claiming to have suffered more than $75,000 in injuries and/or damages as a direct result of an accident caused byMichael David Collins, II while driving for Coastline Transport.
The claims made and defenses asserted are not available for this case.
This case was initially filed in the San Bernardino Superior Court, CIVSB2106264, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
This was a diversity of citizenship case over which the federal district court had jurisdiction because there is complete diversity of citizenship between the parties and at least $75,000 in damages being claimed and either the plaintiff or the defendant did not wish to litigate the case in the state courts of this state.

The Clerk shall consolidate these actions such that the earlier filed action, Case CV 21-1440 FMO (PVCx), is the lead case. All future filings shall be filed in Case No. CV 21-1440 FMO (PVCx) until further notice from the court. The Clerk shall administratively close Case No. ED CV 21-1116 FMO (PVCx). (Made JS-6.
