Gerardo Flores-Gomez Killed Near Nevada Ave on SR-43 in Kings Co

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Unsafe passes often send vehicles into opposing lanes, where a single miscalculation can cause a head-on crash with deadly consequences, especially for other motorists. Following the rules on no-passing zones and lane markings protects everyone on the road. Early reports suggest that 39,345 people died in traffic crashes in 2024 across the United States, according to the NHTSA.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted into the crash by a seasoned lawyer to protect the rights of the victim’s family.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of the victim must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened before or after a crash,” said Bond.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Gerardo Flores-Gomez may be entitled to pursue 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 catastrophic accident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that the victim’s legal rights and best interests are protected.”
