Blue Springs man hurt in Jackson County highway accident

CRASH INVESTIGATION

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that speeding is a leading factor in traffic collisions, followed by impairment from alcohol or drugs, lane violations, failure to yield, and distracted driving.

In 2023, approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes across the United States, according to NHTSA data.

“It is critical to determine the precise cause of these types of crashes,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “Attorneys have the ability to review insurance coverage, consult expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses, while helping guide victims through the legal process.”

Bond emphasized that independent investigations should be conducted promptly to preserve crucial evidence.

“Beyond the police report, an attorney will evaluate all possible contributing factors,” Bond added. “Legal teams can hire experts, analyze driver histories, locate witnesses, and assess insurance policies. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injured victim through what can be a complex process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Following the outcome of the investigation, the injured victim may have the option to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that serious injuries can place significant strain on victims, affecting their daily lives, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, as legal representation allows for effective negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

He added, “Insurance companies are often indifferent to the mounting costs faced by injured individuals. An attorney can step in to protect victims and ensure that they receive fair compensation for their losses.”
