Legal Insights

In cases such as this, an independent investigation by a knowledgeable attorney can provide critical clarity beyond initial law enforcement efforts.

“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, a national analyst for Newsline. “Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of a victim must be ensured that evidence is reviewed in an efficient manner.”

Key takeaways from such investigations include:

• Re-examining witness statements for accuracy
• Reviewing available video footage
• Securing digital records like phone data
• Ensuring timely evidence preservation to support potential claims

Potential Wrongful Death Claim

Families affected by such losses may pursue a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for companionship, pain, 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.”
