Collin Lacaze killed in LA hit-and-run, driver arrested

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run incidents, at-fault drivers attempt to escape responsibility by fleeing the scene. However, once identified, suspects can face serious criminal charges.

Leaving the scene of a crash is illegal, and statistics show that more than one hit-and-run accident happens every minute on U.S. roadways.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that it is crucial to conduct an independent investigation quickly to safeguard victims’ rights.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all examined as part of the investigation,” Bond added.

These steps are essential to help families who have lost loved ones in hit-and-run crashes pursue justice and obtain rightful compensation.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Collin Lacaze could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
