Jeep crash in Wayne County injures Piedmont man

CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), rollover crashes account for roughly 30 percent of passenger vehicle occupant fatalities each year.

Approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle accidents nationwide in 2023, based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

NHTSA reports that speeding is the leading cause of crashes, followed by impairment from alcohol or drugs, failure to maintain lane position, failure to yield, and distracted driving.

“It is essential to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We guide families through this process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

She added that in cases like this, an independent investigation should be conducted promptly to preserve key evidence.

“In addition to reviewing the police report, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors,” Bond said. “Legal counsel can engage experts, review driver histories, locate witnesses, and assess insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney helps guide victims through a complex process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, the victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting many aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, as this allows for proper negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies are often unconcerned with the growing costs faced by an injured person. An attorney can help protect victims and ensure that insurance companies are held accountable,” he added.
