Legal Insights
National legal analysts Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal, and Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, provide guidance on handling fatal pedestrian accidents. Their insights emphasize the importance of thorough investigations in motor vehicle crashes.
“In most instances, pedestrians possess the right of way when crossing an intersection or a street regardless of if they are in a marked crosswalk,” said Bond. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined.”
Key takeaways:
- Independent investigations by experienced attorneys can protect family rights in such cases.
- Drivers must yield to pedestrians to prevent avoidable tragedies.
- Families may pursue claims for loss of income, companionship, and emotional distress.
“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian,” said Formica. “Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
