1 Injured, DUI Driver Arrested Canyon Country Accident

CANYON COUNTRY, Los Angeles County (July 21, 2017) – One person was injured in a DUI collision at Soledad Canyon and Camp Plenty roads early Friday morning.

According to an article by Signal SCV, a black Dodge Charger crashed into a red Pontiac at the intersection about 5:33 a.m. The impact forced the Pontiac to hit a traffic signal at the corner of the road, officials said.

Canyon Country Car Crash

Los Angeles County Fire Department determined one person was rescued from the scene. The injured party was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in an unknown condition. At this time, the identity of the patient is still undisclosed.

Meanwhile, deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station arrested the male driver of the Dodge on suspicion of driving under the influence and hit-and-run. The suspect was also charged for violating the “Zero Tolerance Law”, which states that it is illegal for drivers under the age of 21 to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.01 percent or higher.

Road authorities advocate that most traffic accidents are preventable so long as drivers practice and comply with the road regulations. In this particular case, it is evident that the Dodge Charger’s driver at the time of the crash violated the California Vehicle Code 23153 VC—briefly defined as driving under the influence causing injury.

In such cases where negligence or wrongdoing may have been a factor, the victim has the rights to pursue a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Car accident victims are entitled to seek for compensation for damages including medical expenses, lost future income, and pain and suffering.

Should I talk to
Insurance Company

Your Answer

The first thing you should do is contact an attorney. Without the representation of a lawyer, insurance companies might make contact with you directly, and since they are trained to protect their best interests, this could mean a loss of rights on your behalf, especially if you unknowingly sign something that they didn't completely explain to you. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

How Long will
it Take?

Your Answer

The length of a personal injury case depends on many factors including the evaluation and treatment of the injury. The bigger the injury, the longer it takes to treat. Attorney James Johnson helps you be aggressive with the treatment, so the average case normally takes between two and five months. Those who have serious injuries and need surgery may take several months longer. Call for a free consultation 800-208-3538, or complete the form below >

What if I'm
Not Insured?

Your Answer

Many victims believe if you don't have health insurance you don't have a case - this NOT true. In fact, those with health insurance usually don't use it since there are so many restrictions and steps to overcome to receive authorization for treatment. Johnson Attorneys Group assists you in finding the best doctors to help. Most of them even wait until a settlement for payment.

Can I Do It
Myself?

Your Answers

Handling a personal injury claim by yourself is very difficult. You will deal directly with the insurance adjuster who is often trained to obtain the information they are not entitled to use. This information can negatively impact and de-value your case. Once your case is damaged, it is very difficult to repair it and usually costs you thousands of dollars less in a settlement.
