Driver flees after striking Daniel Hutchens in Randolph County

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense, and statistics indicate that nearly 11 percent of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver. In many cases, at-fault motorists attempt to evade responsibility, but they often face serious legal consequences once identified.

Attorney Candice Bond highlighted the importance of a timely and thorough independent investigation. “Having the right resources is critical when investigating a hit-and-run accident and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully evaluated. These steps are essential to help injured victims pursue justice and obtain the financial compensation they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending an investigation, Daniel Hutchens may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained that the stress following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting a person’s family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is crucial for victims to retain legal representation when filing a personal injury claim, as an attorney can effectively negotiate with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance providers often attempt to settle quickly for less than a claim’s true value. An experienced attorney will strongly advocate on behalf of their client to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation.”
