Joel Rivera hurt in Glynn County box truck collision on I-95, GSP

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Box trucks weigh significantly more than passenger cars and SUVs, making collisions involving these commercial vehicles capable of causing catastrophic injuries.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes across the United States in 2023.

Candice Bond, an experienced commercial vehicle accident attorney, said that in cases like this, an independent investigation should be conducted promptly to help protect the rights of victims.

“Commercial vehicle collisions are often complex, and numerous factors may contribute to these types of crashes,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“An experienced attorney can help protect victims when trucking companies dispatch their own investigators to crash scenes and use extensive resources to defend a negligent driver.”

“Legal counsel can also retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background investigations, identify witnesses, review applicable insurance coverage, and help guide victims through the legal process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, Joel Rivera may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, said, “Individuals injured in a collision often pursue personal injury claims to recover compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often reluctant to fully account for the financial burdens an injured victim may face. An attorney can help protect a client’s interests by advocating for fair compensation and holding responsible parties accountable,” Formica added.
