Fresno County, CA – According to KSEE, on the evening of Tuesday, March 19, 2024, two women were killed in a single-vehicle collision in Fresno County.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the crash occurred near the intersection of Butler and Clovis Avenues around 5:30 PM.
Investigators have not yet determined why their vehicle lost control and left the roadway, hitting a crosswalk post and fence before colliding with a brick pillar, killing both of the women. It is not believed that driver impairment played a part in the crash.
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.
