Ridgecrest, CA – On the morning of Saturday, February 17, 2024, a car crashed into a home on the 200 block of North Norma Street, resulting in the hospitalization of its driver, according to the Daily Independent.
Kern County firefighters responded to emergency calls to rescue the driver, who had been trapped inside his vehicle by the crash. He received transportation by Liberty Ambulance for treatment at a nearby hospital.
The cause of the crash is still being investigated. The home involved has been red-tagged by authorities for being unsafe for residents due to structural damage received in the crash.
Personal Injury Claims 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 those who have been injured 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.
