Andrea Medina among three killed in Bellefontaine Neighbors crash

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run incidents, at-fault drivers attempt to evade responsibility by leaving the scene. However, once located, they can face serious legal consequences.

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and data shows that more than one hit-and-run accident happens every minute on roads across the United States.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, stated that it is critical to conduct an independent investigation promptly in order to protect the rights of victims.

“Access to the proper resources is vital when examining a hit-and-run crash and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all carefully reviewed as part of the investigation,” Bond added.

These steps are essential in helping families who have lost loved ones in hit-and-run crashes seek justice and obtain fair compensation.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Andrea Medina may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims can seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“The grief and emotional hardship following the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their legal rights is crucial. A wrongful death attorney can follow the investigation closely and help ensure the family’s best interests are represented,” he added.
