Bradley Mace dies after SUV crashes in Bremerton on McWilliams Road

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the incident as vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, and charges could be filed against the driver.

According to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, at least half of all traffic fatalities involved an impaired driver between 2019 and 2023. Driving while intoxicated can reduce judgment, vision, coordination, and reaction time.

Candice Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, was interviewed and shared her thoughts on incidents like this.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim’s family may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-examine key witnesses, review any surveillance footage from the crash scene, and obtain phone and text records of the liable party. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide a family through this difficult time, protect their legal rights, and ensure that a reckless driver is held accountable.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Bradley Mace may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand what families are forced to endure, and protecting their rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will stay informed on the official investigation and help ensure that their best interests are represented. Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
