PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Every year, many pedestrians lose their lives on U.S. roads. Approximately 3,304 pedestrians were struck and killed by drivers on U.S. roads during the first half of 2024, according to a Governors Highway Safety Association report.

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

“Road conditions, visibility of signage, and road lighting are among the potential contributing factors that should be considered and thoroughly examined. These steps are important in helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice they deserve,” Bond added.

“An accident reconstruction team may sometimes be necessary to help determine what happened. These resources can be important in helping clients obtain monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is almost always a driver’s responsibility to yield to a pedestrian,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of a victim may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim.

“Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for lost income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral costs, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident,” Formica said.

An attorney serving as an advocate can compassionately guide a family through a difficult time while helping protect its rights.

“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting a quick settlement for much less than a case may be worth,” Formica noted. “However, an attorney can strongly advocate for the client to ensure they are treated with respect and receive fair compensation.”
