4 Hospitalized after Victorville Car Accident on Hesperia Road
Victorville, California (May 20, 2020) – Authorities are investigating a Monday afternoon crash involving a car and a medical van that left four people injured in Victorville.
The crash happened at about 2:20 p.m., on May 18, on Hesperia Road.
The police said a gold-colored Camry was traveling northbound on Hesperia Road. For unknown reasons, the Camry crossed into the southbound lanes, where it collided with a medical van for Victorville Medical Transportation.
Before the accident, the Camry was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed.
A female passenger in the Camry was ejected onto the roadway as a result of the crash impact. She was airlifted to a trauma center for treatment of her injuries.
The Camry driver, a 22- year old Jose Preciado, was complaining of pain. He was also taken to a hospital.
Both the driver and the passenger in the van were taken to a hospital. The driver was complaining of pain while the passenger was hospitalized as a precaution.
The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the collision is urged to contact the Victorville Police Department at 760-241-2911.
When an auto 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 auto accidents or their family members to seek legal help from a seasoned attorney who can conduct an independent investigation and fight for their rights.
