Florez, Ochoa hurt after Lubbock motorcycles collide on Loop 289

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

This crash highlights the ongoing risks faced by motorcyclists on roadways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 83,000 motorcyclists were injured in traffic crashes in 2021, reflecting a 5 percent increase from the previous year.

Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, stressed that preserving evidence through an independent investigation is essential in cases like this.

“In addition to reviewing the police report, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “Legal counsel has the resources to retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide victims and their families while protecting their rights and ensuring accountability when traffic laws are violated.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the investigation, victims may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, noted that the impact of an injury can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to seek legal representation when filing a personal injury claim so that negotiations with insurance companies are handled properly,” Bond said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their full value. An attorney can advocate for victims to ensure they are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation.”
