Four young adults were injured in a serious t-bone auto collision that occurred on Athens Avenue west of Rocklin on Wednesday. The California Highway Patrol reports that 19 year old Amanda Dias of Roseville was driving her Honda Civic north on Foothill Boulevard when she attempted a left turn onto Athens Avenue. Unfortunately, Ms. Dias turned left directly in front of a Dodge Intrepid being driven by 25 year old Iva Adrian of Cottonwood. Ms. Adrian was not able to avoid hitting the Civic and both cars sustained major damage as a result of the crash.

Ms. Dias was transported to the Sutter Roseville Medical Center by Cal Star helicopter ambulance. Two passengers in the Civic were also taken by the ambulance to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. All three occupants of the Honda suffered major personal injuries according to the Highway Patrol. Mr. Adriano was taken to Mercy Sun Juan Medical Center with minor injuries.

California Highway Patrol records indicate that 73 people were injured in car accidents in Rocklin during 2008.

Based on the available information, it appears that an unsafe turning movement in violation of Vehicle Code §22107 caused this auto accident. If that is the case, the driver of the Honda Civic could be held legally responsible to both to the passengers of the Civic and to Ms. Adrian for all medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering damages incurred as a result of the accident. In most cases, the insurance covering the responsible drivers vehicle would pay for these losses.

Persons injured in these type of California injury accidents have a number of complex legal and insurance issues to deal with. Auto insurance companies often make it difficult for injury victims to get fair compensation. It is always a good idea for injury victims to consult with an experienced Rocklin Personal Injury lawyer before settling out of court.
