Augusta hit-and-run claims life of James Waugh, deputies say

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, yet statistics show that more than one hit-and-run collision occurs every minute on roadways across the United States.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is essential for an independent investigation to be conducted promptly by an experienced attorney to help protect the rights of victims and their families.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that should be carefully evaluated during the investigation,” Bond added.

These investigative steps are vital in helping families who have lost a loved one in a hit-and-run collision pursue justice and seek the financial compensation they may be entitled to receive.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of the victim may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members may be entitled to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic crash such as this.

“The stress and grief that follow the loss of a loved one in a serious accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face during this difficult time, and protecting their legal rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney can monitor the official investigation while helping ensure that the family’s rights and best interests remain protected,” Formica added.
