DUI Suspect Aaron Monroe Jr. Held in Boone County Jail

DUI Accident Investigation

Impaired drivers pose a risk to everyone on the road and can senselessly upend people’s lives.

“Drunken and drugged drivers are subject to criminal charges following an accident or collision that causes harm or kills another person,” explained Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Separate from criminal charges, the family of a victim may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney and national analyst with Accident Injury News.

According to the National Safety Council, impaired driving — involving alcohol, drugs, or other medications — is a factor in 10 percent of all fatal automobile accidents, making it the second-leading cause of automobile fatalities in the country.

Personal Injury Claim

An injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending the outcome of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
