Derick Wright Killed in I-87 Crash Near Knightdale, NC

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of any accident. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

She emphasized that in cases like this one, conducting an independent investigation is essential to properly preserve evidence.

“Beyond simply reviewing a police report, an attorney takes a close look at everything that may have played a role in causing the crash,” said Bond. “A lawyer has the resources needed to bring in expert witnesses, look into a driver’s background, track down witnesses to the crash, and examine what insurance coverage may apply. Acting as an advocate for the family, Accident Injury News notes that an attorney can help walk an injury victim through what is often a difficult and complicated process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of the victim may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may be able to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress that follows a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this one.

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

“Families are put through so much in these situations, and it’s essential that their rights be protected. A wrongful death lawyer stays on top of the ongoing investigation and works to make sure the family’s legal rights and best interests are safeguarded throughout,” added Formica.
