Barbara Koontz killed in hit-and-run on W Sixth Street AL

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run cases, at-fault drivers believe they can escape accountability by leaving the scene. However, suspects are often identified and charged once located.

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

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, stated that it is critical to conduct a timely and independent investigation to help safeguard the rights of victims and their families.

“Having the appropriate resources is essential to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

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

These steps are vital in helping families who have lost loved ones in hit-and-run crashes pursue justice and obtain the compensation they deserve.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Barbara Koontz may have the option to file a wrongful death claim. Families of victims can pursue compensation for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other damages resulting from such tragedies.

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

“We understand the difficulties families face, and ensuring their rights are protected is crucial. A wrongful death attorney can follow the investigation closely and help safeguard the family’s legal interests.”
