Head-on crash in Chelan injures Eugene Renner, Dario Martinez

HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Head-on crashes typically result in severe injuries due to the high speeds involved when two vehicles collide directly.

According to Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, human error is the most common contributing factor in these crashes. Contributing causes may include distracted driving, impairment, fatigue, speeding, and unsafe roadway design. These types of collisions are among the most dangerous on the road, with more than 10 percent resulting in fatalities. AAA data from 2015 to 2018 shows more than 2,000 deaths from head-on collisions on divided highways.

Bond emphasized that regardless of police findings, it is critical for an injured victim to secure an independent investigation to preserve key evidence.

“An attorney can collect the proper evidence to help prove that a driver’s actions were reckless, which requires a variety of resources,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “In addition to law enforcement efforts, an attorney can re-interview witnesses, review surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and text records from the responsible party. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can guide an injured victim through this difficult time while protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, Eugene Renner and Dario Martinez may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming, impacting all areas of life including work, finances, and family responsibilities.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as this allows them to negotiate directly with insurance companies,” Bond said. “Insurance providers often attempt to settle quickly for less than a claim is worth. An attorney will advocate for the victim to ensure they are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation.”
