Dustin Crowell Arrested After Spokane Crash Injures Cyclist

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

When a driver is under the influence, they may experience impaired judgment, vision problems, reduced coordination and slower reaction times. A 2018 report published by the National Safety Council found that 4.5 million injuries resulted from motor vehicle crashes.

While investigators continue working to determine the cause and liability of the collision, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said an independent investigation by a seasoned attorney is imperative.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the victim injured in the crash may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, said the stress and concern following a serious injury can be overwhelming and may affect family, employment, finances and overall quality of life.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company on behalf of a client,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
