Madera, CA – On the morning of Saturday, August 3, 2024, a motorcyclist was killed in a single-vehicle collision at the intersection of Pecan Avenue and Monterey Street, according to KSEE.
Just after 5 AM, officers were dispatched to the site of the single-vehicle accident, where they discovered a black motorcycle that had collided with a retaining wall and its male rider, who was suffering from major injuries. Despite efforts of first responders to administer life-saving measures, the rider succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and the identity of the rider has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin. Authorities are working diligently to determine the factors that led to this unfortunate incident.
Liability in Single-Vehicle Collisions
In certain situations, investigations may uncover that some liability for a single-vehicle collision falls on other drivers nearby or even on unsafe roadway structures. Sorting through these details to help victims and their families secure proper compensation is one of the key services a personal injury attorney offers.
After establishing liability, a personal injury attorney can negotiate with insurance companies on the victim’s behalf. Insurance companies invariably aim to minimize payouts for claims they cannot deny, making legal representation crucial for obtaining fair compensation.
