Legal Insights

In addition to law enforcement efforts, an independent investigation by a seasoned attorney proves vital to preserve evidence and protect rights in motor vehicle crashes.

"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," said Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal.

"Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim's family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently."

"An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision," said Bond, who serves as a national legal analyst for Newsline.

Pending investigation outcomes, families in wrongful death cases may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

"We understand that losing a loved one is not only a deeply emotional loss but also an economic one," said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. "If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney and get the guidance needed to obtain the justice you deserve."
