Single-Vehicle Accidents in Bakersfield and Personal Injury Claims
It cannot always be assumed that the driver bears full responsibility in a single-vehicle accident. If the negligence of outside parties, like the vehicle manufacturer or a government entity responsible for roadway maintenance, also contributed to the accident, the driver may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
A personal injury claim can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident. If the driver’s own negligence is also found to have played a role, any settlement may be reduced, but that would not keep him from receiving partial compensation.
