Angelina Davis tragically killed in Carson hit-and-run accident

DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

California recorded more than 125,000 DUI arrests in 2023, averaging over 340 DUI arrests daily, according to California Highway Patrol data. The state saw more than 200,000 DUI-related crashes resulting in over 280,000 injuries and more than 4,000 deaths.

Candice Bond, a seasoned DUI accident attorney, shared her perspective on cases like this.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim’s family may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“As an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide grieving families through this challenging period, protecting their legal rights and ensuring that a drunk driver is held accountable for their reckless actions.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Angelina Davis may pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Bond.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
