John DiGregorio dies, struck by Toyota RAV4 in Palm Beach

FATAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Statistics reveal that Florida is one of the most dangerous states in the nation for pedestrians.

In 2022, there were 10,013 pedestrian-related crashes in Florida, resulting in 765 deaths, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Pedestrians may be struck due to a variety of factors, including speeding, driver negligence, distracted driving, and impaired driving.

Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, an independent investigation conducted by a qualified attorney is often critical to protecting the rights and interests of a victim’s family.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” added Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst of Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of John DiGregorio may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay informed about the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
