Gary Mead injured in Oregon vehicle vs. pedestrian accident

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Fatal crashes involving pedestrians increased 9.5% from 2023 to 2024, with 219 fatal pedestrian-involved crashes occurring in 2024 compared to 200 in 2023, according to Illinois Department of Transportation data.

This incident underscores the dangers that pedestrians face every day in this country. The cause of many of these accidents is negligent driving, distracted driving, or drivers failing to yield to pedestrians.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney and a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An examination of road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting is crucial. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Gary Mead may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
