Dorman Lynn Cranston killed in San Antonio pedestrian crash

FATAL HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INVESTIGATION

In 2023, approximately 25% of U.S. pedestrian fatalities occurred in hit-and-run crashes, with more than 1,800 pedestrian deaths resulting from these incidents.

Hit-and-run fatalities have consistently represented about one-quarter of all pedestrian deaths in recent years, with over 75%. Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, but statistics indicate that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roads. Many suspects flee the scene because they are intoxicated, driving without a license, or concerned about being arrested if they remain at the scene.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney is important to protect a family’s rights.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important when investigating a hit-and-run accident case and establishing negligence,” 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 must be examined. These steps are necessary to help someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver pursue the justice and monetary compensation they deserve.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, family members of Dorman Lynn Cranston may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives 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 because of someone else’s negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney and obtain the guidance necessary to pursue the justice you deserve.”
