ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – 42-year-old Khuong Nguyen was injured in a car accident after he was hit by a car in the parking lot of a Garden Grove hotel March 5. The incident occurred at the Ramada Inn Plaza on Garden Grove Boulevard when a Jeep Liberty SUV that was being driven by 58-year-old Dzung Truong.

The car looked out of control just prior to the accident. Truong told police that he tried to stop but his brakes failed and the car continued moving forward. It hit Nguyen and pushed him against the wall. He suffered serious leg injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved and no citations have yet been issued.

We hope that Nguyen will experience a full recovery from his injuries. A fractured bone can be a serious injury. Fractures, whether caused by force or trauma, often result in long term limitations and require longer recuperation periods than other personal injuries. Depending on the seriousness of the fracture, such injury may even lead to permanent disability. Serious bone fractures can result in significant scarring and chronic joint problems such as arthritis. It is therefore, very important that the injury heal properly.

In addition to medical care, it is important to get the proper legal care so you can pay for your treatment. If your accident was caused by someone else’s reckless or negligence, you may be able to recover money to pay your expenses. Berman & Riedel, LLP is a San Diego, California personal injury law firm.
