Legal Insights
Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal, noted the value of a thorough review in cases such as this.
“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process.”
Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal, added:
“Stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident. We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
Key takeaways
- Families may pursue wrongful death claims for loss of companionship, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- An independent review can examine insurance coverage and other contributing factors beyond the initial police report.
