Woodland, CA: 1 Injured in Major Car Crash at County Road 24 and County Road 94B
1 Severely Hurt in Woodland Car Crash at County Road 24 and County Road 94B
Woodland, California (April 29, 2020) – One person was hospitalized with severe injuries after two vehicles collided Tuesday afternoon at an intersection in Woodland, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The wreck transpired just after noon, where Gibson Road, also known as County Road 24, meets County Road 94B.
Yolo County firefighters responded to the scene to find the two vehicles at the scene, both with major front-end damage. A pole was also sheared at the base and was only hanging by the lines.
An ambulance was requested to the scene to transport one person who was severely injured in the crash.
Traffic at the intersection was affected by a closure at the intersection for about four hours.
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.
