Brandon Castrejon dies after being hit in Compton CA accident

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Each year, a growing number of pedestrians lose their lives on U.S. roadways, many of which could be prevented with increased driver awareness. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), approximately 2,304 pedestrians were killed in the first half of 2024 alone.

“Having the proper resources is essential when investigating a pedestrian accident and determining liability,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

“Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must all be carefully evaluated. These steps are critical in helping families who have lost loved ones pursue justice,” Bond added.

“In some cases, accident reconstruction specialists are required to determine exactly what occurred. These resources play a key role in helping victims and families secure compensation following a crash,” said Bond, a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is almost always a driver’s responsibility to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Brandon Castrejon may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.

“Families who lose a loved one in a wrongful death incident may seek compensation for loss of income, companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and funeral expenses,” Formica explained. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide families through this difficult time while ensuring their legal rights are protected.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their true value,” Formica added. “An attorney will work diligently to ensure that victims’ families are treated fairly and receive the compensation they deserve.”
