Legal Insights
In cases such as this, families often benefit from a thorough review beyond the initial law-enforcement investigation.
“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. Time is of the essence in cases such as this one, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”
Candice bond, managing partner at Bond Legal, offered the following takeaways:
- Independent review of evidence can uncover details not immediately apparent
- Witness re-interviews and record collection help establish a complete picture
