David Lay fatally struck in Westminster SC hit-and-run

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run cases, at-fault drivers believe they can evade responsibility by fleeing the scene. However, once identified, suspects can face serious criminal charges.

Leaving the scene of an accident is illegal, yet statistics show that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute across U.S. roadways.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that an independent investigation by a qualified attorney is crucial to safeguarding the rights of victims and their families.

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

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” Bond added.

Such investigative steps are essential in helping families pursue justice and potential financial compensation after losing a loved one in a hit-and-run crash.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of David Lay 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,” said 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.”
