1 Killed, 1 Injured After Car Crash on Concow Road Wednesday

BUTTE COUNTY, Ca (August 11, 2019) – A driver died and a passenger suffered injuries following a solo-car crash on Concow Road Wednesday, according to the Mercury News.

California Highway Patrol Oroville identified the fatal victim as Joshua Watkins.

Primary reports indicated Watkins was behind the wheel of a 1999 Hino bobtail truck traveling north on Concow. When the young man approached the area near the Camp Fire burn zone between Paradise and Highway 70, it veered off the roadway and slammed into a tree.

The impact of the collision ejected the driver, later identified as Watkins, out of his seat.

First responders tried to save Watkins and immediately transported him to Enloe Medical Center in Chico. A short time after, Watkins sadly died.

You have Questions. We have Answers.

What is My
Case Worth?

Every personal injury case is unique and many factors are used to value each case.

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.

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.

Does it Cost?
