Coby Williams hurt in Franklin County Polaris rollover crash

ATV ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that off-highway vehicles, including ATVs, are involved in an annual average of more than 800 deaths and approximately 100,000 emergency department-treated injuries. Children under the age of 16 consistently account for a significant portion of these fatalities, highlighting the continuing dangers associated with ATV use among riders of all ages.

Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Newsline, said that in cases like this, an independent investigation should be conducted as early as possible to help preserve critical evidence.

“In addition to reviewing the official police report, an attorney will examine all factors that may have contributed to the crash,” Bond said.

“Your lawyer has the resources to retain expert witnesses, perform background investigations, identify and interview witnesses, and evaluate all available insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help an injured victim navigate what is often a complex legal process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, an injured victim may be entitled to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said that the emotional and financial burdens following a serious injury can affect every aspect of a person’s life, including family responsibilities, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim because legal counsel can negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of the client,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies frequently attempt to resolve claims quickly for substantially less than their true value. An attorney will work diligently to protect a client’s rights and seek fair compensation while ensuring they are treated with dignity throughout the process.”
