Heaven Williams killed in wrong-way crash on Interstate 88 in Aurora

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), nearly 400 people lose their lives annually in wrong-way crashes across the United States. Driver error is considered the leading cause of these devastating wrecks. Factors such as impaired driving, distracted driving, roadway confusion, and poor road design can all contribute to these incidents.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said in cases such as this that it is crucial for victims’ families to seek an independent investigation by a reputable law firm as quickly as possible in order to preserve key evidence.

“Along with reviewing the official police report, an attorney will examine every possible factor that may have contributed to the collision,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “An attorney has the ability to secure expert witnesses, evaluate driver histories, identify witnesses, and analyze all available insurance coverage. A skilled advocate can help protect a family’s legal rights while offering guidance during a difficult time.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family of Heaven Williams may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for medical and funeral costs, loss of companionship and love, emotional suffering, and other damages related to the tragic loss.

“A wrongful death claim may arise when a negligent or reckless act leads to the loss of another person’s life,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “When fatal vehicle crashes are caused by dangerous behaviors such as distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, aggressive driving, or hit-and-run offenses, surviving family members are often entitled to pursue a civil claim against the at-fault party.”
