    There is no information about the two injured people from this crash. It was not shared if they were transported to a hospital or treated at the scene, nor have there been any updates on their medical condition.

    Officers continue to investigate this five-vehicle collision on Highway 180 to try and determine who was at fault and what exactly happened to cause this crash. Glass and debris littered the area of Highway 180 and had to be cleaned by crews once officers were finished gathering information for their investigation. This accident  on Highway 180 in Fresno County is still under investigation.

    Who Is Responsible In A Fresno County Car Accident? 

    Despite improved safety measures for cars, motor vehicle accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in the United States.  According to the CDC, “more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes.” There are a number of factors that could potentially contribute to a car accident including: Distracted driving, speeding, dangerous turns, inclement weather and even poorly designed roadways.

    All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid causing accidents. This is especially true for commercial drivers that work for a city. A number of collisions are due to drivers that make dangerous left turns. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 21801, the driver of any vehicle intending to turn left must yield the right of way traveling from the opposite direction close enough to pose a hazard.

    If a negligent driver worked for a city, that city could potentially be liable in the event of an accident. Generally speaking, employers are vicariously liable for the negligent actions of their employees – insofar as those employees were working within the course and scope of their job duties. There are a number of steps that should be taken after a car accident. You should always take photos of the accident site, surveillance footage should always be sought and viewed by authorities, medical records should be saved, witnesses who saw the accident should be interviewed and finally, authorities should thoroughly investigated the crash. 

    The family of any victim who has died in a car accident may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and funeral expenses. It is essential that evidence is properly preserved after a car accident. A car accident attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
