Adrian Marshall dies in Dallas DUI crash; suspect faces charges

DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This accident was entirely preventable. Impaired drivers pose a serious danger to everyone on the road and can tragically alter lives in an instant.

“Drunken and drug-impaired drivers can face criminal charges when their actions result in injury or death,” explained Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

She further noted, “In addition to criminal proceedings, the victim’s family may also have the right to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party.”

According to the National Safety Council, 10 percent of all fatal automobile accidents are caused by drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These crashes remain the second-leading cause of traffic-related deaths in the United States.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Adrian Marshall could be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“The emotional toll after losing a loved one in a crash can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the investigation and help ensure that the family’s legal rights and best interests are fully protected,” Formica added.
