The automobiles involved were a gray Chevrolet  Aveo LT, a brown  F150 Ford Pickup, and another unidentified pick up.  According to an eye witness,  the accident was instigated by a wrong way driver.  Investigators were called onto the scene around 11:23 a.m. and are looking into the wrong way driver scenario.  Ambulances were called to the scene but it was not known at press time if anyone was injured and sent to the hospital.  A brief SigAlert was issued and lifted not  long after the incident.

Indeed, investigators will have their hands full determining who and what caused the accident.  If it was indeed a wrong way driver, he or she may be held liable for any injuries sustained in the multiple car collision. When more than one car is involved it can be hard to truly assess damages, which is often necessary in pursuing personal injury claims.

There are many implications of such an complex accident, like the very real possibility the defective auto parts could have made the man lose control of his car.  This could explain, why the car swerved for no given reason.  If this is the case, the victim could consider filing a product liability lawsuit against the auto maker.

When a defective auto part causes a collison, you should contact a reputable personal injury lawyer regarding your rights.   During the evaluation, you could discover what kind of financial compensation you may receive for your injuries.  Call us any time, toll free at  888.207.5321 to make your appointment and get the compensation you deserve when you have been injured in an accident.

The female motorist who suffered injures, was taken to the Western Medical center-Santa Ana to be treated.

The incident occurred just around 10:11 a.m. at the intersection of Portola parkway and Tustin Ranch, the time when the call came in about the crash.  Authorities arrived on the scene to find the female driver of the Lexus trapped. Firefighters were dispatched and had to use the Jaws of Life to cut away the driver’s side door to remove the woman. Although suffering from minor injuries the female flower truck driver was not taken to the hospital—both vehicles were towed.  An investigation into the automobile crash is ongoing.

In the aftermath of the collision many serious questions will be raised, with the most important being who was at fault.  If the flower truck driver is responsible, she could be held financially accountable or the other woman’s injuries.  When someone’s reckless behavior causes injury, you can bring them to civil court by filing a personal injury lawsuit.  By suing for reparations, you could obtain money for needed medical treatment and lost earnings.  If you have been injured in an accidnet, you can contact our law offices to obtain information about personal injury  litigation and get a knowledgeable legal on your side.
