Jayanna Clark Booked After Pinellas County Crash Killed Child

CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding contributed to 29 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2023, resulting in 11,775 deaths across the United States. Excessive speed not only increases the likelihood of collisions but also significantly raises the severity of injuries sustained in crashes.

“Roadway conditions, visibility, and lighting are among the many potential contributing factors investigators examine after a serious collision,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“In some cases, an accident reconstruction team may be required to determine exactly how the crash occurred. These investigative resources are important in helping clients pursue compensation for losses and damages resulting from a collision,” Bond added.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, victims injured in the crash may have grounds to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that serious injuries can create overwhelming emotional and financial hardships affecting every aspect of a victim’s life.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim because legal counsel can negotiate directly with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies frequently attempt to secure quick settlements for far less than a claim may truly be worth. An experienced attorney will strongly advocate for victims to help ensure they are treated fairly and receive appropriate compensation.”
