Sacramento County, CA — A single-vehicle rollover collision on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, left four people injured, two adults and two children, according to CBS13.
Metro Fire of Sacramento responded to reports of the accident around 11 AM at eastbound Interstate 80 near Madison Avenue.
According to preliminary investigations, the crash occurred when one vehicle swerved in front of another, hitting the median and flipping multiple times.
The mother, who was in the car with her three children, was able to remove the children from the back of the vehicle after it came to rest. The children suffered minor injuries, while the mother and the other adult in the vehicle were taken to the hospital with moderate to minor injuries.
Emergency responders transported the injured to local hospitals. Fortunately, the injuries were reported to have been non-life-threatening.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.
Single-Vehicle Collisions and Passenger Liability
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility.
California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages. A personal injury attorney can play a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Driver liability insurance covers both those outside the vehicle and passengers inside. While it can be emotionally difficult to file a Personal Injury claim against someone close to the victim, the financial challenges after an accident can be overwhelming.
A skilled personal injury attorney can help families pursue proper compensation for their loss by handling these legal complexities and negotiating with insurance companies, who always try to reduce payouts on claims they cannot deny.
