Hit-and-run kills Martha Hernandez, Adrian Hernandez in Fresno

FATAL HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

The driver who struck Ms. Hernandez’s SUV and fled the scene will face criminal charges once apprehended.

Leaving the scene of a crash is a serious offense, and statistics show that more than one hit-and-run accident occurs every minute on U.S. roadways. Many drivers flee due to intoxication, lack of a valid license, or fear of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is critical to conduct an independent investigation as soon as possible to protect victims’ rights.

“Having the proper resources is essential when investigating a hit-and-run case and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully examined. These steps are necessary to help injured victims or their families obtain justice and financial compensation.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Martha Hernandez and Adrian Hernandez may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand the immense challenges families face during such times, and ensuring their rights are protected is crucial,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will remain updated on the official investigation and work to safeguard the family’s best interests. Relatives of wrongful death victims have the right to seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.”
