Francis Rueschenberg Killed in Iowa Motorcycle-SUV Collision

FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, many motorcycle crashes can be prevented and are frequently linked to negligent actions by drivers of passenger vehicles.

Drivers often fail to notice motorcyclists on the roadway. Common factors include changing lanes without properly checking mirrors, drifting into a biker’s path, or turning in front of a motorcycle and leaving the rider with little opportunity to avoid a collision. The National Safety Council (NSC) reports that approximately 5,600 motorcyclists are killed in traffic accidents each year.

Bond emphasized that following a fatal crash, an independent investigation conducted by an experienced attorney is often essential to help safeguard the rights of surviving family members.

“Motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable motorists on the road, and several factors can play a role in fatal crashes,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Blind spots, inexperienced drivers, and distracted motorists often cause these types of collisions. An attorney has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage, while carefully guiding the grieving family of the victim through the legal process and vigorously protecting their best interests.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Francis Rueschenberg may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages resulting from a tragic accident such as this one.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
