McKinleyville Accident Causes Major Injuries
On Friday, August 21, 2020, a car accident in McKinleyville left at least one person with major injuries. According to details reported by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the accident involved two vehicles and happened in the afternoon.

Crash Information
The collision occurred at about 3:14 p.m. at the intersection of Gwin and City Center Roads. According to police, the crash involved a white Honda Civic as well as a green Honda CRV. Details about the circumstances leading up to this accident have not been released. However, police did indicate that both vehicles were heavily damaged during the incident.
Investigation
As officials continue to look into possible causes of this crash, no likely causal factors have been mentioned in official reports. In many cases, multiple-vehicle crashes have more than one cause and may involve more than a single causal factor. Furthermore, many common accidents are caused by things that none of the involved drivers have control over. Such factors include things like issues with roadways, defective vehicle products, and more.
The Impact of an Accident Injury
Car accident injuries can have a huge impact on your life. Often, people who suffer injuries during auto accidents have a long road to recovery and need extensive medical care in order to regain their health. In many cases, the necessary medical care for accident injuries includes emergency transportation, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, physical therapy, and more. Altogether, these treatments can add up to an enormous amount of money.
During their recovery period, crash survivors may experience issues with cognition and/or limited mobility, which may keep them from taking part in things they care about. In many cases, these issues make it hard or even impossible for crash survivors to perform their jobs. As a result, it’s common that collision survivors will suffer a sudden and serious loss of income.
Getting Help
Because of the issues detailed above, collision survivors may feel overwhelmed and uncertain of how they will be able to go on with their lives after suffering such a major injury. These are very serious concerns. However, it is possible to reach out for help by calling a McKinleyville personal injury lawyer and asking about filing a claim.
People who file personal injury claims are often able to hold negligent drivers, auto manufacturers, insurance companies, and/or other at-fault parties responsible for the economic and personal damages that they have suffered. Frequently, this includes payments for medical bills, lost income and/or earning potential, personal suffering, damaged property, and more.
However, every injury case is different and liable parties typically try to disclaim responsibility for the accident. For these reasons, it’s critical that you call a skilled attorney as soon as you possibly can.
