Hit-and-run crash in West Palm Beach injures Elba Torres

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense, and data indicates that approximately 11 percent of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver. In many situations, at-fault motorists attempt to evade responsibility by fleeing, but they can still face serious charges once identified.

Attorney Candice Bond stressed the importance of conducting a timely and thorough independent investigation to safeguard a victim’s legal rights. “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 road lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be fully considered. These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has been injured by a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending an investigation, Elba Torres may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained that the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of a person’s life, including family responsibilities, employment, financial stability, and overall well-being.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company for a client,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
