Jessica Stephens Dies in Christian County Wreck, Officials Say

CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the Federal Highway Administration, about 40 percent of vehicle collisions occur at intersections, often due to drivers running stop signs or red lights. Factors include impatience, reckless driving, and distraction.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, stressed the importance of an independent investigation.

“It is imperative to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses,” Bond said.

She added, “In addition to reviewing the police report, a lawyer can examine all factors that may have contributed to the crash and ensure evidence is preserved. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can guide a victim’s family through what can be a complicated and emotional process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Jessica Stephens may pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.

“Grieving families are often overwhelmed by legal processes,” Bond noted.

“An attorney can provide valuable guidance, ensuring that the family’s rights are protected and that they receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
