Henry Smith fatally injured in Sevierville hit-and-run incident

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run cases, at-fault drivers believe they can escape responsibility by leaving the scene. However, once identified, they will still face criminal charges.

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, and statistics show that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on roads across the United States.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, noted that it is crucial to conduct a prompt and independent investigation to protect a victim’s rights.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” Bond added.

These steps are necessary to help someone who has lost a loved one due to a hit-and-run driver obtain justice and financial compensation.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Henry Smith could 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 tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families must go through, and ensuring their rights are protected is essential. A wrongful death attorney will remain updated on the official investigation and help safeguard their legal rights and best interests.”
