CRASH INVESTIGATION

Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill approximately 40,000-42,000 people and injure millions more. According to the most recent NHTSA data, alcohol impairment and speeding remain the leading causes of fatal crashes, each accounting for roughly 30% of all traffic fatalities. Distracted driving, which killed 3,275 people in 2023, continues to be a significant factor in crashes and injuries.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

A victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
