Bakersfield, CA – According to KBAK, on the evening of Thursday, March 21, 2024, a solo-vehicle collision in Buttonwillow killed a 27-year-old woman from Taft.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the crash occurred around 6:09 PM north of Brown Material Road on Highway 33.
The woman involved had been traveling northbound on 33 when she lost control of her vehicle, veered left across the southbound lane, and exited the roadway, overturning several times and ejecting from the vehicle in the process. Her injuries proved to be fatal.
Liability in Solo-Vehicle Collisions
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a solo-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.
