Highway 99 through Madera County can be a dangerous route when careless drivers get behind the wheel. The dangers only increase when an inattentive driver is behind the wheel of a big rig. Any loss of control of a semi-truck or a box truck can send thousands of pounds of metal into a collision.

Smaller vehicles can end up crumpled by the intense force of impact. Cars and SUVs can also end up underneath these large trucks. The occupants inside will often suffer serious injuries and have their lives threatened.

Big Rig Crash Causes Major Injuries in Madera

A multiple-vehicle crash sent at least one person to the hospital in Madera early Tuesday morning. KFSN-TV reports it happened around 1:45 a.m. along Highway 99 near the Madera Avenue exit on July 12, 2022.

California Highway Patrol officers shut down part of the 99 to traffic while they helped victims and investigated what happened. They say a big rig and two other vehicles were involved in the crash. They reported that there were major injuries involved but did not say exactly how many people had been hurt.

California Highway Patrol investigators worked on clearing the scene and figuring out what happened for around two hours. That’s when lanes of the 99 were reopened to traffic.

Earning Support for Victims After a Madera Truck Crash

Drivers and passengers hurt by another motorist’s mistake should receive the best medical attention available. They should also be reassured that the costs of this care won’t fall to them.

Victims must seek maximum compensation from an at-fault driver’s insurance provider. Compensation should be provided for every medical bill and rehabilitation cost. Support should be extended for the income and benefits victims lose as they must miss time from work. The physical and emotional pain a victim endures can also earn compensation after a Madera accident.

Victims and their families can file these injury claims in order to force insurance companies to do the right thing. When a big rig driver is found at fault for an accident there may be additional support available to victims. The driver’s trucking company may also be liable for the recovery hardships victims face.
