Jason Blue tragically killed in two-vehicle accident in George County

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Mississippi records roughly 100 motor vehicle accidents per day, with the highest concentration occurring during the late afternoon and early evening hours—particularly between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

According to the Mississippi Department of Transportation, there were 690 traffic fatalities in 2016. Of those killed, nearly half were not wearing seat belts. The leading causes of crashes include speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving, which alone accounted for around 18% of traffic-related deaths that year.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all potential contributing factors that are considered and examined,” stated Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Sometimes, an accident reconstruction team is required to piece together what happened. All these resources are essential in helping clients receive financial compensation for damages or a loss after an accident,” added Bond.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Jason Blue could pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to seek damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Bond.

“We understand the hardships that families face, and it’s crucial to protect their rights. A wrongful death lawyer will keep abreast of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are safeguarded.”
