Re: Our Clients/Claimants: Angelica Lizarraga, Alberto Alvarez Anna Alvarez
Decedent: Juan Manuel Alvarez Flores
Date of Loss: 01-07-2026
Dear City Clerk:
Please be advised that this office has been retained by Angelica Lizarraga, Alberto Alvarez and Anna Alvarez to pursue wrongful death claims against the city of Rialto for the fatal accident that caused the death of their husband and father Juan Manuel Alvarez Flores. We ask that all future correspondence or verbal communication be directed to our office and that there be no direct contact with our clients in this matter. Enclosed please find our Designation of Counsel forms. Enclosed also please find City of Rialto Liability Claim for Damages to Person or Property form for each Claimant, plus one copy to be conformed and mailed back to our office in the enclosed envelope.
On January 7, 2026, the Decedent was lawfully operating his motorcycle while traveling northbound on Riverside Avenue when he was struck by a vehicle that had exited the North Rialto Center, crossed multiple lanes of traffic, continued across the painted center divider to enter the shopping center across the street. The driver, Robert Henderson, failed to yield to Decedent's right-of-way, collided with Decedent's motorcycle, and caused his death.
The City of Rialto is aware that drivers cut across the painted center divider to cross from one shopping center to the other across the street. Even with this knowledge, no roadway median has been constructed nor traffic lights installed to prevent the illegal crossing. Additionally, the painted traffic lines are faded and difficult to see.
It is our policy to attempt to resolve these matters in the most amicable and expeditious manner.
Should you wish to discuss this matter, please call the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
ARMAND AVAZIAN
