Incident Location


HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Head-on crashes remain among the most dangerous types of collisions on U.S. roadways.

Although they represent only about 2% of all crashes, they account for roughly 10% of all fatal accidents. These collisions are often linked to driver error, speeding, distraction, roadway design issues, inexperienced driving, or confusion behind the wheel.

Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, explained that in cases like this, conducting an independent investigation quickly is critical to preserving key evidence.

“An attorney can gather essential evidence to demonstrate that a driver’s behavior was negligent, which requires multiple resources,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Beyond the work of law enforcement, an attorney may re-interview witnesses, review any available surveillance footage, and obtain phone and text records from the responsible party. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide grieving families while ensuring their legal rights are protected.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Bennie Walker may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Loved ones of victims in fatal crashes may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“The grief and emotional burden following such a loss can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and work to ensure the family’s legal rights and best interests are upheld.”
