Hit-and-run crash in Wauzeka injures Katherine Oswald, CCSO says

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and data indicates that approximately 11 percent of all accidents involve a hit-and-run driver. In many instances, those responsible attempt to evade accountability by fleeing, but they can still face serious charges once identified.

Attorney Candice Bond highlighted the importance of conducting a timely and independent investigation to safeguard the rights of victims. “Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and roadway lighting are all factors that must be carefully evaluated. These steps are essential to help injured victims obtain justice and the financial compensation they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the investigation, Katherine Oswald may be eligible to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained that the impact of a serious injury can be overwhelming and often affects many areas of a victim’s life, including family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is crucial for victims to retain an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, as legal representation allows for effective negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance providers frequently attempt to push quick settlements that may not reflect the true value of a case. An attorney will advocate strongly on behalf of victims to ensure they are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation,” he added.
