Jayland Richardson Dies After Dooly County Head-On Collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

In Georgia, deer are involved in an estimated 50,000 crashes each year, accounting for 14% of all vehicle collisions in the state, according to a study by the University of Georgia.

Last year, more than 300 people were injured in deer collisions, per the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, and a total of 1,000 people have died in similar accidents between 2006 and 2010. While the cause and liability of the crash are being investigated, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said that an independent investigation by a seasoned attorney is imperative.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Time is of the essence in cases such as this one, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Jayland Richardson may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress after a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand what families are forced to endure, and protecting their rights is essential,” said Candice Bond, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death lawyer can monitor the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are protected. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
