One Sustains Major Injuries in Highway 9 Crash near Lorenzo Avenue in Santa Cruz Tuesday afternoon

Santa Cruz, California (April 15, 2020) – A traffic accident in Santa Cruz left one person with serious injuries Tuesday afternoon, the California Highway Patrol said.

According to the CHP, a silver Lexus was traveling on Highway 9 at about 4:40 p.m. April 14 when it was rear-ended by a motorcycle rider near Lorenzo Avenue.

The motorcyclist was found lying on the road by emergency responders.

One patient was taken to a hospital with major injuries, the CHP report states. It was unclear if the injured party was the rider.

The accident remains under investigation.

“Far too many motorcycle collisions are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of other motorists. Sadly, when this occurs, motorcyclists are the ones who tend to suffer the vast majority of injuries”, according to Arin Khodaverdian, Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. Under California’s rule of comparative negligence, a victim may be able to collect compensation for injuries and other damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
