Legal Insights
National legal analysts provide valuable perspectives on handling pedestrian accident cases. Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal, stresses the importance of thorough investigations.
“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.”
- Independent investigations by experienced attorneys can protect the rights of affected families in cases such as this.
- Families may pursue claims for loss of income, companionship, pain and suffering, funeral costs, and emotional distress.
- Insurance companies may push for quick settlements below fair value, and legal representation ensures fair compensation.
Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal, adds:
“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian. An attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
