Aurora Hit-and-Run Suspect Jonathon Garcia Taken Into Custody

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run cases, drivers attempt to evade responsibility by leaving the scene, believing they can avoid legal consequences. When identified and apprehended, however, suspects can face serious criminal charges.

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and national data shows that hit-and-run accidents occur with alarming frequency on U.S. roadways.

Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal and an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation as soon as possible to protect a victim’s rights.

“Having access to the proper investigative resources is critical when building a hit-and-run case and establishing negligence,” Bond said.

“Elements such as roadway design, lighting, and visibility must also be reviewed and carefully assessed,” Bond added.

These steps are essential in helping families who have lost a loved one in a hit-and-run collision pursue justice and fair financial compensation.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Following the outcome of the investigation, the family of a victim may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress after a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“The grief and emotional strain after losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“Our firm understands what families endure during these difficult times. Protecting their rights is crucial, and a wrongful death attorney can monitor the investigation while ensuring their legal interests are fully safeguarded,” Formica said.
