San Diego County Superior Court
On October 16, 2009, plaintiff’s decedent Michael Mazurek, 41, an orthopedic trauma surgeon for the United States Navy, rode his bicycle to work at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. While Mazurek was traveling south on Murphy Canyon Road, a medical transport van operated by Gustavo Gonzalez allegedly cut off Mazurek. As a result, Mazurek struck the back and side of the van, causing him to slide under the rear right tire of the vehicle, which ran him over. Michael Mazurek’s surviving spouse and children sued American Medical Response Inc., Gonzalez’s employer, and claimed Gonzalez negligently operated the vehicle, causing the accident and decedent’s wrongful death.
