Former Cincinnati Red Motorcyclist Frank Pastore Dies Predicted His Death

Former Cincinnati red Frank Pastore died today. His death was a result of a motorcycle crash. So far authorities have been rather tightlipped about the multifaceted Christian radio personality. Only 55 years old Frank Psastore had lived a full life. Was it cut short by a careless driver or did Pastore's driving in the car pool lane contribute to it. 

Police officials reported that a gray Sonata was eastbound when the driver lost control aand went into the car pool lane and hit the Honda motorcycle driven by Pastore. pastore was thrown from his motorcycle.The car driver was not cited .

Pastore sufferred a major head injury and had beeen in a comma for several weeks. He had found religion and had a leading Christian talk show on the radio . A former Cincinnati reds pitcher Pastore had found Christianity and turned his life to God.

In talking about life after death on his radio show that night Pastore eerily predicted his own death. here is what he said on his radio show:

“I mean look, you guys know I ride a motorcycle don’t you? So, at any moment, especially with the idiot people who cross the diamond lane into my lane, alright, without any blinkers, not that I’m angry about it, but at any minute I could be spread out all over the 210 (Freeway), but that’s not me, that’s my body parts. That key distinction undergirds the entire Judeo-Christian worldview and also your pursuit of reality.”

Was This a Wrongful DeathA wrongful death is a death caused by someone's negligence. In Ohio such a claim is controlled by the wrongfull death statute.Rc 2525.01 et seq. However fault is determined by traffic codes and principles of negligence. At first glance it appears that the driver lost control and came into pastore's lane. This normally in Ohio would constitute negligence as a matter of law. But it is strange that reports have not indicated the woman was cited by police..

A review of the area shows that stops signs controlled Harris road. Thus Andrew Hensley , if reports are accurate would be under a duty to yield the right of way . Another brother motorcyclist down . Another roadside cross for someone to order. Another family that will never be the same.



Commentary


When a car is on a stop street that intersects with a thru highway it has a duty to yield the right of way to traffic. Many times the car that unlawfully entered the intersection will claim that the other vehicle was speeding. I have questioned people in depositions and ask them why they would pull out in front of a car that they thought was speeding. Unfortunately people will not admit responsibility. However a thorough investigation by experienced accident investigators can use evidence at the scene to reconstruct the accident. It's imperative to get an experienced accident reconstruction engineer to review the evidence as soon as possible.

May Is Motorcycle Month Allstate Takes Advantage Cincinnati Attorney Anthony Castelli Says Don't Buy

As a  motorocycle accident lawyer in Cincinnati, Ohio for over 30 years  I am acutely aware of Allstate's activities. In a word, they fight tooth and nail and attempt to delay paying injury victims.
So if you are looking to protect yourself with uninsured/underinsured motorist benefits look at another insurance company. They are even hustling motorcylists with their latest promotion on Allstate's facebook page.

As I look back over 25 civil injury personal injury trials, several of them were against Allstate insurance since they offered meager settlements. With a company like Allstate, as a motorcycle accident attorney  I needed to put together  a track record  against them of going to trial. That way they should pay attention to you when you represent an injured motorcycle rider or other personal injury victim.

There are some lawyers that are hesitant to take cases against Allstate because they know they will have to fight. With a good case I don't worry about going up against Allstate. The jury system normally works. Allstate counts on wearing you down or having an opponent that does not want to work the case up.

This video is about a personal injury car accident case I went  to trial against Allstate. It was a great success as you will hear about. This was against their liability coverages. Every case is different so this is just an example of what happened and does not mean that I can do the same for you, or I will even take your case. But if I think your case is righteous, then let's take off the boxing gloves, and let me fight with all my heart for you to get justice against Allstate or any other insurance company that fails to offer fair value.

A word of caution. If you try to go alone and then come to me there is a possibility that you could have made a fatal mistake that devaued your case to the point that was what was otherwise a good case that I would take, is now one that does not merit my investment of time and money as the chances of succcess have been diminished.

I'm happy to speak with you at no cost and no obligation at 513-621-2345. If you are too injured to come to me I'll come to you.
