Andrea Berens suffers life-threatening injuries in Corcoran Accident

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Approximately 2.2 million people suffered injuries in motor vehicle crashes nationwide in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The NHTSA states that speeding remains a leading factor in traffic accidents, followed by impaired driving involving alcohol or drugs, failure to stay in the proper lane, failure to yield the right of way, and distracted driving.

“It is critical to determine the exact cause of crashes like these. Attorneys have the resources to review insurance coverage, consult with expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses. We carefully help families and victims through the legal process,” said Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal.

Bond noted that in situations such as this, conducting an independent investigation quickly is important to help preserve evidence related to the crash.

“In addition to reviewing the police report, an attorney will closely examine all factors that may have contributed to the collision,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney. “A lawyer has the ability to work with expert witnesses, review driver histories, locate witnesses, and examine insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help injury victims navigate what is often a difficult and complicated process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Andrea Berens may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting many aspects of life, including work, finances, family, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain legal representation when pursuing a personal injury claim because an attorney can negotiate directly with insurance companies on behalf of the injured party,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies are often not concerned about the growing expenses faced by an injured victim. An attorney can provide assistance and help protect victims of these tragic incidents while working to hold insurance companies accountable,” he said.
