Injuries Suffered After Napa Car Crash
At least one person was seriously hurt during a Napa car crash that occurred on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. This accident was initially reported by Napa area California Highway Patrol (CHP), who stated that two separate vehicles were involved. The number of people injured during the crash has not yet been reported, and investigations into the cause of the collision are ongoing.
Crash Information
The accident reportedly occurred at around 7:48 p.m. on State Route 29, close to the Airport Boulevard on the southern end of Napa. Police indicated that the crash was between a white Kia Rio and a white Chevrolet Suburban. Details about the events that preceded the accident were not reported, but CHP stated that both the SUV and sedan sustained major front-end damage, suggesting that the collision was head-on.
Multiple vehicles stopped at the scene, and witnesses exited their vehicles to assist the injured parties. According to reports, police arrived at the site at around 8:06 p.m. and determined that at least one involved individual had sustained serious trauma. Additionally, the damaged vehicles needed to be removed from the scene by tow trucks, and the roadway was partially closed until around 8:33 p.m.
Investigation of Napa Car Crash
As CHP conducts their accident investigation, officers haven’t reported likely causes. Often, collisions similar to this one happen for reasons other than driver negligence, such as defective car products or highways with seriously damaged pavement. In cases that involve non-motorist causal factors, parties like government bodies or auto parts manufacturers may share financial responsibility for damages caused during the collision.
The Cost of a Crash Injury
Sustaining an injury during a crash is likely to have a major financial impact. Injured auto accident survivors typically need to pay for ambulance rides and hospital fees and many need intensive medical treatment, possibly including surgeries and long-term physical therapy, all of which can be very expensive. Affording the care you need can be hard, especially when accident injuries have made it difficult or impossible for you to work and earn money.
Thankfully, it is often possible to recover compensation for these losses by filing personal injury claims which seek to hold at-fault parties and/or their insurance companies financially responsible. By filing such claims, crash survivors can not only obtain payments for their medical bills and lost income, but for their personal suffering and loss of quality of life. If you’d like to know more about the types of payments that might be available for your injury case, the smartest thing to do is to get advice from an experienced Napa personal injury lawyer.
