Jacob Flannery, Sharon Bittner injured in Bondurant IA motorcycle collision

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

This crash highlights the risks motorcyclists face on roadways every day.

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), an estimated 82,564 motorcyclists were injured in traffic crashes in 2023, representing an injury rate of about 409 per 1 million miles traveled.

“Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and multiple factors can contribute to serious crashes,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Blind spots, inexperienced drivers, and distracted motorists frequently lead to these types of collisions. In many cases, accident reconstruction teams and even motorcycle manufacturing experts are needed to help determine exactly what occurred,” added Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will thoroughly examine all contributing factors,” said Bond. “Legal counsel can secure expert witnesses, conduct background checks on drivers, locate witnesses, and review insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney helps guide injured victims and their families through difficult circumstances while protecting their rights and seeking accountability when traffic laws are violated.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, Jacob Flannery and Sharon Bittner may have the right to pursue personal injury claims. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress following an injury can be overwhelming and affect all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as this allows for proper negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements that may be far less than what the claim is worth. An attorney will strongly advocate on behalf of their clients to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation.”
