Hyundai Sonata Strikes Anthony Heine in The Villages, Police Say

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Drivers can help prevent crashes involving pedestrians by remaining attentive, obeying speed limits, and following pedestrian safety regulations. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), pedestrian deaths in motor vehicle crashes have risen 78% and now account for 18% of all crash fatalities.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

Bond emphasized, “In many situations, pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing a street or intersection, even when they are outside a marked crosswalk. Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians.”

Roadway conditions, visibility of signs, and street lighting may all contribute to a crash and must be carefully evaluated during an investigation. These steps are important in helping victims and families pursue the justice they deserve.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Anthony Heine may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit once authorities complete their investigation, a claim that could include compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other damages related to the incident.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, stated, “Victims injured in a collision often pursue personal injury claims to recover costs associated with medical treatment, future care needs, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often unconcerned about the growing financial burdens an injured victim may face. An attorney can help protect victims and work to ensure insurance companies are held accountable for their actions,” Formica added.
