Legal Insights on Motor Vehicle Crashes
National legal analysts Candice Bond and Stefano Formica provide guidance on handling cases such as this, emphasizing the importance of thorough investigations to protect those affected.
“It is imperative to determine 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 through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.
Key takeaways:
- Conduct an independent investigation beyond the police report to identify all contributing factors.
- Review insurance policies and secure witness statements to build a strong case.
- Hire specialists to assess vehicle damage and driver behavior.
“Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover medical bills, future care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering. Insurance companies can be unconcerned with mounting costs, but an attorney can advocate effectively,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.
