Visalia, CA: Major Injury Crash on Avenue 264 at Road 156
1 Hospitalized with Serious Injuries after Visalia Car Crash on Avenue 264 at Road 156
Visalia, California (May 19, 2020) – One person was hospitalized after two vehicles collided Tuesday morning at an intersection in Visalia, the California Highway Patrol reported.
According to CHP, the two vehicles collided at about 6:20 a.m. on Avenue 264 at Road 156.
An ambulance was dispatched to the scene to transport at least one person to the hospital. The victim sustained severe injuries in the crash.
Two tow trucks were requested to remove the vehicles from the scene.
CHP is investigating the accident.
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.
