A serious traffic accident in Canton on Dec. 4 left four people with injuries. Authorities reported that the incident involved two vehicles and took place in the northbound lanes of Route 95 near exit 11. At approximately 8:30 p.m., a 54-year-old man who was driving a northbound Chevrolet Blazer collided with the back end of a northbound Lexus GX470, authorities said. Both vehicles rolled over due to the impact of the collision, reportedly. The wreck caused the 54-year-old man to become trapped, requiring firefighters to extricate him from the wreck. He was airlifted to another hospital for treatment of injuries that were described as serious. The driver of the Lexus and two juveniles passengers of the vehicle were transported to a hospital via ambulance for treatment of injuries that authorities reported as minor. No criminal charges were filed in relation to the incident during the immediate aftermath of the crash; yet the event is still under investigation, reportedly. Car accidents can have a number of different causes. Many revolve around faulty driving. A crash could be caused by a drunk driver, a distracted driver or even a fatigued driver. When that is in fact the case, there may be grounds for a civil lawsuit to be filed in association with the incident. For, victims of negligent drivers may be entitled to compensation for the various damages they suffered as a consequence of the crash. A personal injury attorney may use the police reports and other available evidence to prove that a driver was negligent and should therefore be held liable for the incident. The compensation awarded to injured accident victims following a personal injury claim can be substantial.
