Emergency responders found Moore in critical condition at the scene. She was airlifted to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital for treatment.

FATAL TWO-VEHICLE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Each year, roughly 36,000 people die in motor vehicle accidents in this country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding is the primary cause of fatal crashes, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.

That is why Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, emphasized that in cases like this, it is critical to carry out a timely independent investigation to preserve evidence and safeguard the rights of victims’ families.

“As attorneys, our role is to provide both legal guidance and support to families who have lost a loved one in a crash,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “We work to protect your rights and help ensure that statements made to police or insurance companies are not used unfairly against you.”

Bond added, “An attorney will thoroughly examine all contributing factors of the crash and has the resources to retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, legal counsel can compassionately guide families during this difficult time while protecting their rights and interests.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending results of the investigation, the family of Dorothy Sears Moore may be entitled to a wrongful death claim for medical and funeral expenses, the loss of love and companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.

“A case is considered wrongful death when a person or entity engages in a negligent or wrongful act that results in someone’s death,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “When fatal crashes are caused by unsafe, aggressive, or distracted driving, speeding, or impaired driving, surviving family members often have the option to pursue a civil claim against the responsible party.”
