LPSO: Eric Hano killed after bicyclist struck by vehicle in Holden

BICYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

Bicyclists face significant dangers on roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 1,105 cyclists died in motor vehicle accidents in 2022, an 11 percent increase from the previous year. Most bicyclist deaths involve head injuries, emphasizing the importance of helmet use.

“Cyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and a variety of factors can lead to serious collisions,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

“It is crucial to determine the precise cause of these types of crashes. An attorney has the resources to examine insurance coverage, engage expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses. We work to carefully support the victim’s family throughout the process.”

Prompt and independent investigations are essential to preserving key evidence, added Bond, an experienced bicycle accident attorney.

“Beyond the police report, an attorney will thoroughly analyze what factors may have contributed to the crash,” Bond said. “Legal counsel can bring in experts, review records, locate witnesses, and assess insurance policies. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide victims and families through what is often a complex process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Eric Hano may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Loved ones of wrongful death victims can seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a devastating accident such as this.

“The grief and stress following the loss of a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s legal rights and best interests are fully represented.”
