Napa Woman Severely Hurt During Yountville Auto Accident
On Saturday, August 16, 2020, a 35-year-old resident of Napa was seriously hurt during a Yountville auto accident. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported the accident and indicated that it took place in the afternoon and involved two separate passenger vehicles. While one other individual was involved in the accident, only one person suffered injuries as a result of the crash. The cause of the accident remains under CHP investigation.
Accident Information
The accident happened on Highway 29 at the intersection of Washington Street on the northern edge of Yountville. Police indicated that the Napa woman was driving westbound on Washington when she attempted to make a left turn in order to enter southbound Highway 29. However, while performing the turn, her vehicle entered the path of a southbound car. As a result, the southbound vehicle, driven by a 22-year-old Petaluma man, collided with the woman’s car. The impact reportedly caused major damage to both of the vehicles.
Response
CHP was contacted about the crash and immediately dispatched a response team. When officials reached the site, they discovered that the Napa woman was seriously hurt and had her driven to the Queen of the Valley Hospital. Updates on her condition and details about her injuries have not been reported.
Investigation
As CHP investigates this crash, no suspected causes have been reported. However, CHP has reported that driver impairment was not a causal factor. Multiple-vehicle auto accidents can be complex and generally involve more than one causal factor. In many cases, car accidents involve critical factors that are outside of the control of drivers like issues with roads or defective car parts.
Recovering from a Major Injury
Collision survivors often face a number of challenges. Being injured is often very painful and regaining your health can be a slow process. For many, recovery takes a period of months or possibly years. During this recovery period, crash survivors may be left unable to take part in activities that they care about or even perform their jobs. Not only does this have an impact on your mental health, but it can leave people in a financially unstable situation. In many cases, losing their source of income leaves crash survivors unable to afford the medical treatments they need.
Getting Help
While the above difficulties are serious, it is possible for collision survivors to reach out for help. An experienced Napa personal injury lawyer may be able to help you file an injury claim and obtain compensation to cover your financial and personal losses. In many cases, injury claims are able to afford people the financial security they need to recover their health and move on with their lives after a serious accident.
