Hit-and-run collision in Ala Moana injures pedestrian

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, yet statistics show that about 11 percent of all accidents involve a hit-and-run driver.

By law, any driver involved in a collision must remain at the scene until authorities arrive. However, data indicates that more than one hit-and-run incident occurs every minute across U.S. roadways. Many drivers flee due to impairment, lack of a valid license, or fear of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run attorney, stressed that a prompt and independent investigation is essential to protect a victim’s rights.

“Having the necessary resources is critical to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility, and lighting must all be carefully evaluated. These steps are vital to helping victims obtain justice and compensation.”

“Time is especially critical in these cases, and it is important that evidence is preserved and reviewed as quickly as possible,” Bond added.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the injured pedestrian may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting all areas of a victim’s life, including work, finances, and family responsibilities.

“It is important for victims to retain legal representation when filing a personal injury claim so negotiations with insurance companies can be handled effectively,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their full value. An attorney will advocate strongly to ensure victims are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation,” he added.
