Rancho Cordova, CA – Three people were rushed to the hospital with severe injuries following a major collision near the intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and Douglas Road on Monday afternoon, September 9, 2024, according to CBS13.
The crash, involving two vehicles, caused one of the cars to flip over and land on its roof. First responders worked urgently to free the victims from the wreckage, and all three were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment for severe injuries. The identities and conditions of the victims have not yet been released.
The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, but the impact left both vehicles severely damaged, with one car overturned. The crash forced the closure of southbound lanes on Sunrise Boulevard at Mechanical Drive, leading authorities to redirect traffic. Drivers are being advised to find alternative routes while investigators assess the scene and work to determine what led to the accident.
Personal Injury Claims
Determining fault in a collision can hinge on various factors, and in California, partial liability can be assigned to multiple parties. Assisting in establishing legal liability is one of the key roles that a personal injury attorney can fulfill for victims recovering from a traffic accident.
Suppose it is determined that the actions of another contributed toward the injuries. In that case, victims may qualify to file a personal injury claim with the insurance provider of those responsible. Such a claim can offer compensation to help offset hospital expenses and the loss of income from taking time off work for recovery.
