Bay Point, CA: Major Injury Multi-Vehicle Crash on Highway 4
CHP Investigating Highway 4 Car Crash near San Marco Boulevard in Bay Point
Bay Point, California (May 21, 2020) – The California Highway Patrol is investigating a major injury multi-vehicle collision that happened Wednesday night on a highway in Bay Point.
CHP said the wreck occurred at about 10:15 p.m. on eastbound Highway 4, just west of San Marco Boulevard.
The accident involved four vehicles, including a gray Mazda 3. The cause and manner of the accident was not mentioned.
Authorities said the accident resulted in severe injuries but did not mention the number of those injured. An ambulance was sent to the scene to transport the victims to the hospital.
Tow trucks were needed to clear the collision scene.
When a car accident occurs, the responsible party will be required by law to compensate the victims for medical expenses, lost earnings, and future loss of earnings or medical care. In serious accidents, the responsible driver may be held accountable for paying non-economic damages, including emotional trauma, pain, and suffering.
Mark Shayani, the Managing Attorney at Pacific Attorney Group, says determining where liability lies is not direct and straightforward due to varying factors being involved and the fact that most people will want to avoid responsibility even when they were at fault. Additionally, the insurance companies that cover the car that will be found at fault will want to reduce the amounts to be offered as compensation to the lowest levels possible.
“It is of the utmost importance that you do not give any statements or admit fault if approached by the other driver’s insurance company. Anything you say could be used against you at a later date when the liability of the collision is determined.” Shayani said.
Mr. Shayani advises victims of car accidents or their family members to seek legal help from a seasoned attorney who can conduct an independent investigation and fight for their rights.
