Merced County, CA – According to KFSN, on the morning of Saturday, March 16, 2024, two people were hospitalized in a head-on crash in Merced County.
The California Highway Patrol reports that around 6 AM on Turner Road a 26-year-old woman was traveling northbound when she ran off the right side of the road near Palazzo.
As she attempted to correct, she entered the southbound lane, where she entered the path of a silver Toyota driven by a 39-year-old man. The two vehicles collided head-on, resulting in serious injuries for both drivers. Emergency responders transported them to a nearby hospital for treatment, with the Toyota driver having to be airlifted.
Personal Injury Claims
Establishing fault in a collision can depend on various factors, and the state of California allows for partial liability to be allocated to multiple parties. Helping to determine legal liability is one of the ways that a personal injury attorney can help victims as they are recovering from a traffic accident.
Suppose it is determined that another party holds responsibility for their injuries. In that case, victims may be eligible to file a personal injury claim with the insurance provider of those at fault. A personal injury claim can provide compensation to help cover hospital fees, burial costs, and the loss of income due to time taken off work for recovery.
