Hawthorne police report death of Dashawn Coleman in fatal wreck

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Several factors contribute to the rise in traffic fatalities, with driver behavior being a major cause—including speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving, especially involving cellphone use. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 8,055 lives were lost in motor vehicle collisions during the first quarter of 2025.

While the cause and liability of the crash are still under review, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, stressed the importance of conducting an independent investigation by a qualified attorney.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview key witnesses, analyze any available surveillance footage from the crash scene, and obtain phone and text records from potentially responsible parties,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is critical in cases such as this, and families must ensure that all evidence is carefully reviewed and preserved without delay,” she added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family members of Dashawn Coleman may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for emotional distress, loss of companionship, and other damages following a tragic accident.

“We understand that losing a loved one is both an emotional and financial hardship,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “If a loved one has been lost due to another party’s negligence, families should seek guidance from a wrongful death attorney to pursue the justice they deserve.”
