FATAL PEDESTRIAN CRASH INVESTIGATION
Pedestrians such as Mr. Moya remain vulnerable despite a variety of laws protecting them.
Every day, motorists who ignore signs, are distracted, or impaired, seriously injure or kill pedestrians. Approximately 7,314 pedestrians were fatally injured in traffic crashes in the U.S. in 2023. In 2021, California experienced 1,108 pedestrian fatalities, which accounted for over a quarter of all traffic-related deaths in the state, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety.
“In most instances, pedestrians possess the right of way when crossing an intersection or a street, regardless of whether they are in a marked crosswalk,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.
Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, noted that in addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
The family members of Eudoro Moya Jr. may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.
“The emotional toll of losing a loved one in a sudden accident can be overwhelming,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney can advocate for the family, remain informed throughout the investigation, and work to ensure that their legal rights and financial interests are protected.”
