Bicyclist Justin Libby hurt in hit-and-run accident near Grass Valley

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal act, and data indicates that approximately 11 percent of all accidents involve a hit-and-run driver. In many instances, drivers flee believing they can evade responsibility, but charges often follow once they are identified.

Attorney Candice Bond stressed the importance of a timely and independent investigation to safeguard a victim’s rights. “Having the right resources is critical to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and roadway lighting must all be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential to help injured victims obtain justice and fair compensation.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Justin Libby may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming and disruptive to all areas of life, including family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to seek legal representation when filing a personal injury claim, as an attorney can negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle quickly for far less than a claim may be worth. An experienced attorney will advocate strongly for their client to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation.”
