Legal Insights

In cases such as this, family members may pursue compensation for loss of income, companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be thoroughly examined.”

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth,” Bond noted. “An attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure fair compensation.”

“Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress following a tragic accident,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal.
