Fresno, CA – On the afternoon of Monday, March 12, 2024, a driver was injured in a solo-vehicle rollover accident on the Chestnut Avenue off-ramp of Highway 180, according to KSEE.
The California Highway Patrol responded to reports of the accident around 3:30 PM and sent emergency responders to the crash site near Cedar Avenue. The driver received transportation to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Investigations indicate the vehicle had been driving at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control and left the roadway, rolling over on the off-ramp embankment.
Liability in Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a single-vehicle collision might fall upon other drivers in the vicinity of the accident or even unsafe roadway structures. Working through the particulars of liability to help victims and their families find proper compensation is one of the many services a personal injury attorney can provide.
Once liability has been established, a personal injury attorney can also negotiate on behalf of the victim with insurance companies, who will always seek to minimize the payout for any claim they cannot deny.
