Fernando Rodrigues dies in I-55 motorcycle collision Illinois

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Candice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is important to have a prompt and independent investigation conducted to protect the rights of victims.

“Crashes involving tractor-trailers are often complicated and can involve multiple contributing factors,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“An experienced attorney can help protect victims from trucking companies, which frequently send their own investigators to crash scenes and have extensive resources to defend negligent drivers.

“A lawyer can advocate on behalf of victims by retaining expert witnesses, performing driver background checks, locating witnesses, and reviewing applicable insurance policies, while guiding them through the legal process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Fernando Rodrigues may be entitled to 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 emotional strain following the loss of a loved one in an accident can be immense,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardships families endure, and ensuring their rights are protected is critical. A wrongful death attorney will remain informed about the official investigation and help safeguard their legal rights and best interests.”
