A traffic accident on eastbound Interstate 80 in Richmond resulted in the closure of the freeway Sunday evening. An SUV flipped over, blocking the middle lanes before Macdonald Avenue. A man was extracted from the vehicle and was conscious upon rescue.
In the realm of law, situations like this are governed by traffic laws and personal injury law. If another driver’s negligence is determined to be the root cause of the accident, the injured party may have a legitimate personal injury claim.
Compensation in such a claim can cover medical expenses, loss of income due to inability to work, as well as pain and suffering incurred as a result of the accident.
However, every traffic accident case is unique and the specific circumstances greatly influence potential claims and outcomes. Therefore, anyone involved in a traffic accident is advised to consult with a professional who specializes in traffic or personal injury law to understand the full scope of their potential legal avenues.
