CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

“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, who is Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for The Legal Advocate.
“It is always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian.”
Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, noted that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect the rights of the victim's family.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of the investigation, the family of Juan Lopez may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim, which can help recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of love and companionship, emotional distress, and other related hardships.
“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.
“A wrongful death attorney can guide families through the process, ensuring their legal rights are protected and helping them seek the justice and compensation they deserve.”
