Erin Roiger injured in three-vehicle Nicollet County wreck

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle accidents across the country in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The NHTSA reports that speeding remains the leading cause of traffic crashes, followed by impairment from alcohol, drugs, or medication, failure to remain in the proper lane, failure to yield the right of way, and distracted driving.

“It is essential to determine the precise cause of these types of collisions. An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, conduct background investigations, and locate witnesses. We carefully help guide a victim’s family through the legal process,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

Bond added that in cases such as this, it is important to begin an independent investigation as early as possible to help preserve valuable evidence.

“In addition to examining the police report, an attorney will evaluate every factor that may have contributed to the crash,” Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said. “A lawyer can retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney helps guide an injured victim through what can often be a complicated process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Erin Roiger may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of a person’s life, including family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for injured victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, allowing legal counsel to negotiate with insurance companies on the client’s behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies are often unconcerned with the growing financial burdens an injured person may face. An attorney can help protect those rights. We represent victims of these tragedies every day, working to hold insurance companies accountable for their mistakes,” he added.
