Dexter Biggers hurt in Gastonia wreck; driver arrested

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Motorists are often permitted to pass other vehicles under safe conditions. However, unsafe or illegal passing maneuvers remain a frequent cause of serious crashes like this one.

Traffic laws clearly require drivers to exercise caution when overtaking other vehicles. Passing is prohibited when there is insufficient space or when hazards are present. Regardless of the outcome of the police investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation to secure evidence and protect the rights of injured victims.

Approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes nationwide in 2023, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Bond noted that in incidents like this, initiating an independent investigation promptly is crucial to preserving key evidence.

“In addition to reviewing the police report, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors to the crash,” added Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal. “Legal counsel can retain expert witnesses, examine driver histories, locate witnesses, and assess insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney helps guide injured victims through what is often a complex legal process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Dexter Biggers may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting many aspects of life, including work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when filing a personal injury claim so they can effectively negotiate with insurance companies,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies often fail to fully account for the long-term costs faced by injured victims. An attorney can advocate on their behalf, carefully examining the case and ensuring accountability. Legal representation helps protect victims’ rights while pursuing the compensation they deserve.”
