James Prieve died in Dane head-on crash, police report

FATAL HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Head-on crashes are among the most catastrophic types of traffic collisions due to the combined impact of both vehicles’ speeds.

For instance, when two vehicles traveling at 50 mph each collide, the force equals hitting a solid barrier at 100 mph. Such impacts can crush vehicle compartments and cause devastating or fatal injuries — even with advanced safety systems such as seatbelts and airbags.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, approximately 3,631 motorists are killed annually in head-on collisions across the U.S.

Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and an experienced auto accident attorney, emphasized the importance of a thorough, independent investigation following such crashes.

“An attorney can gather and preserve critical evidence to help prove that a driver acted recklessly,” said Bond. “Having the right resources is essential in determining fault and ensuring that negligent drivers are held accountable. A lawyer can also guide grieving families through the process, protecting their rights and helping them seek justice and closure.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of James Prieve may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice and financial recovery for their loss.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the loss of a loved one is both emotionally and financially devastating.

“We understand the hardship families face after a tragic accident, and ensuring their rights are protected is vital,” Formica said. “A wrongful death lawyer will stay informed on the official investigation and help the family pursue compensation for loss of companionship, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”
