Legal Insights

In cases such as this involving motor vehicle crashes, determining the precise cause is essential for accountability and support for affected families.

“It is imperative to come to a determination of 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 of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, managing partner with Bond Legal.

Bond emphasized the importance of independent investigations to preserve evidence.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash. A lawyer has the resources to hire witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”

Pending the investigation, the family of the victim may pursue a wrongful death claim, seeking damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

"The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident," said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. "We understand just what families are forced to go through, and protecting their rights is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."

• Independent investigations help identify fault in complex crashes.
• Families may claim compensation for emotional and financial losses.
• Early legal consultation preserves evidence and rights.
