Bond further emphasized the value of comprehensive reviews:

“An attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash and has the resources to hire witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage.

Wrongful Death Considerations

Depending on the investigation's findings, the family of Ingrid Aida Calderon Reano may pursue a wrongful death claim. Such claims can cover medical and funeral expenses, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“An incident is considered a wrongful death when either a person or entity commits a wrongful or negligent act resulting in a person's death,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. “When vehicle accident fatalities result from unsafe driving, aggressive or distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence, family members are usually left with the option to pursue a civil action against the responsible motorist.”
