Redding, CA (July 17, 2024) – A motorcycle crash occurred on Hartnell Avenue near Rockabye Lane in Redding. Michael Garcia was injured.
Incident Overview and Investigation Details: The accident involved a motorcycle ridden by 38-year-old Michael Garcia and a minivan driven by 33-year-old Kelly Harrison. Michael Garcia sustained injuries and was promptly transported to the hospital for medical attention. Initial reports from the Redding Police Department indicate that neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be contributing factors in the collision.
Legal Considerations: The Redding Police Department’s Traffic Unit is actively investigating the incident to determine the precise cause of the crash and establish any potential liability. As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects warrant further examination to determine if any possible negligence exists, including the following:
- Condition of the vehicle,
- Road conditions,
- Signage, and
- Driver obedience to traffic laws.
Depending on the investigation’s findings, Garcia might be able to file a personal injury claim if negligence is found. This claim allows negligence victims to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress caused by the accident.
I wish Michael Garcia a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time.
