Jennifer Zarco, Marc Trejo killed in Pomona police chase collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Accidents that occur during police pursuits remain a serious public safety concern. These high-speed incidents often develop rapidly, creating dangerous conditions for bystanders, passengers, and others on the road.

Crashes frequently happen at intersections or busy roadways where unsuspecting drivers have little time to react. While many agencies have implemented stricter pursuit guidelines and enhanced training, the risks remain significant when a suspect attempts to flee.

“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

She added that an independent investigation is essential to preserve critical evidence in these cases.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully examine all possible contributing factors,” Bond said. “Legal professionals can engage expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide a family through what is often a complex process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Jennifer Zarco and Marc Trejo may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members may seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other impacts resulting from such a tragic accident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardships families endure, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will remain informed on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are safeguarded,” added Formica.
