Dmytro Stechenko Dies After Queens E-Scooter Collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

E-scooters have grown increasingly popular across the United States, serving as a convenient option for recreation and everyday transportation.

However, e-scooter riders are required to follow all traffic regulations and remain aware of other roadway users. E-scooter-related crashes have continued to increase nationwide, with nearly 200 riders losing their lives between 2017 and 2023. Statistics tracking injuries and fatalities involving other victims in e-scooter crashes are not maintained.

Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, an independent investigation should be conducted as quickly as possible to help protect the interests of a victim’s family.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important when investigating a bicycle accident case and demonstrating that there was negligence on the part of a motorist,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be examined. An accident reconstruction team and or even bicycle manufacturing experts are often utilized to help to put together what occurred and protect the legal rights and best interests of a grieving family.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Dmytro Stechenko may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving relatives of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and help safeguard the family’s interests. Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
