PEDESTRIAN CRASH INVESTIGATION
Pedestrian deaths continue to be a major concern in California, with the state experiencing some of the highest numbers of pedestrian deaths in the U.S.
Approximately 1,158 pedestrians were killed in California in 2022, accounting for a significant 26 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities in the state. Most fatal crashes happen in cities at night, outside intersections, with about a quarter involving hit-and-run drivers.
Pedestrians can be hit by a combination of factors, including speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving. Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, stressed that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect the family of a victim’s rights.
“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
The family of Raymond Olguin Jr. may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of victims can seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other losses following a tragic or catastrophic accident.
