Lompoc, CA: Major Injury Car Crash on Highway 246 at Mission Gate Road
At Least 1 Seriously Injured in Lompoc Car Collision on Highway 246 at Mission Gate Road
Lompoc, California (May 17, 2020) – At least one person was injured when two cars collided Saturday afternoon on Highway 246 in Lompoc.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the wreck occurred at about 12:52 p.m. at the intersection of Mission Gate Road.
Two sedans collided for unknown reasons. One of the sedans went off the roadway after the crash, and the other was partially blocking the roadway.
Authorities said one vehicle had its hood ripped off in the crash.
An ambulance responded to the scene to help at least one person who was severely hurt in the accident.
Tow trucks were needed to remove the vehicles from the 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.
