Mono County, CA – A fatal single-vehicle rollover occurred on Wednesday evening, September 18, 2024, in Mono County, according to CHPFatal.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) confirmed that the accident, reported around 5:38 PM, occurred on a remote stretch of Highway 395, also known as the Eastern Sierra Scenic Byway, near Crooked Creek, resulting in one fatality.
The isolated and scenic Highway 395 is often traveled by those seeking the natural beauty of the Eastern Sierra, but its winding roads can pose challenges, particularly in low visibility. Emergency responders arrived quickly after receiving the call, but despite their efforts, one individual lost their life in the crash.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the victim, as they work to notify family members.
Liability in Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road conditions share some responsibility. A personal injury attorney plays a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Once liability is determined, the attorney can negotiate with insurance companies, who often try to reduce payouts. That means having legal representation can be vital to ensure victims receive fair compensation for their loss.
