Elijah McMillan Dies After Being Struck by Vehicle in Hannahville

CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It is essential to determine the exact cause of any accident. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, conduct background checks and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the victim’s family through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

She noted that, in cases such as this, conducting an independent investigation is critical to preserving evidence.

“In addition to reviewing a police report, an attorney will carefully examine what may have contributed to the crash,” Bond said. “A lawyer has the resources to retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what may be a complicated process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

While the investigation is pending, the victim’s family may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families are forced to endure, and protecting their rights is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will remain updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected,” Formica added.
