Devery Jenkins, Coworker Hurt in Saraland Highway Collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Driver behavior remains a central factor behind the rise in traffic fatalities, with speeding, impaired driving, and distraction — particularly cellphone use — playing major roles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 8,055 people died in motor vehicle crashes during the first quarter of 2025 alone.

As the cause and liability of the crash continue to be investigated, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said it’s essential for a seasoned attorney to conduct an independent investigation.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this one, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Devery Jenkins may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.

“We understand that losing a loved one is not only a deeply emotional loss but also an economic one,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. “If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney and get the guidance needed to obtain the justice you deserve.”

“Insurance companies may try to take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the law and offer a low settlement or deny your claim altogether. An attorney can protect your rights and ensure that you are not taken advantage of.”
