Charles Blackmon dies after pickup drives onto sidewalk in Oakland

FATAL HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, yet data shows that hit-and-run incidents occur frequently across U.S. roadways. In many cases, drivers flee due to impairment, lack of licensing, or fear of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized the importance of independent investigations in cases like this to protect the rights of grieving families.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Factors such as roadway conditions, signage visibility, and lighting conditions must all be carefully examined. These steps are essential in helping families pursue justice and financial recovery after losing a loved one in a hit-and-run crash.”
