Burbank, California – A man was injured late Wednesday night after a car overturned in a high-speed crash near Saint Finbar Church, according to the Burbank Police Department.
The crash occurred around 11:30 p.m. at South Myers Street and West Olive Avenue. Investigators said the vehicle began accelerating rapidly before striking a tree and flipping onto its roof.
Lt. Jamal Childs told City News Service that a possible mechanical failure may have caused the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably before the collision.
The passenger in the car sustained minor injuries and received treatment at the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Can You Claim Compensation for a Single-Vehicle Accident?
Yes, it is possible to claim compensation after a single-vehicle accident — but it depends on what caused the crash. Even if no other driver was directly involved, there are situations where victims may still recover damages. For example, if your accident was caused by a mechanical failure, defective auto part, poor road maintenance, or an improperly marked construction zone, you may have a valid claim against a manufacturer, government entity, or contractor.
Working with experienced car accident lawyers in California can help you determine liability and identify all potential sources of compensation. Insurance companies often try to deny or minimize single-vehicle claims, especially when mechanical defects or road hazards are involved — having an attorney on your side can make a significant difference.
