Jairo Uriostegui Dies in Chicago Dan Ryan Expressway Crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The ISP is expected to release a complete report once its investigation into the accident that claimed the life of Mr. Uriostegui is finalized.

Meanwhile, Candice Bond noted that collisions such as this require an independent investigation by an experienced law firm to help preserve evidence and protect the rights of grieving families.

“Along with the thorough efforts of law enforcement, an attorney can re-examine key witnesses, review any surveillance footage from the crash scene, and obtain cellphone and texting records from the liable party,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “By serving as an advocate, an attorney can compassionately assist families during an incredibly difficult time while also safeguarding their legal rights and interests.”

Every year, approximately 36,000 people lose their lives and another 1.9 million suffer injuries in motor vehicle accidents across the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding remained the leading cause of fatal crashes last year, followed by alcohol or drug impairment, improper lane usage, failure to yield the right of way, and distracted driving.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Jairo Uriostegui could have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a devastating accident.

“We understand the tremendous hardships families endure after losing a loved one, and protecting their rights is extremely important,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney can remain informed on the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are protected. Relatives of wrongful death victims may pursue damages for loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain, and suffering after a catastrophic accident.”
