John Foriest Dies After Ambulance Overturns in Martin County

FATAL AMBULANCE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Emergencies frequently require ambulances to respond quickly, but emergency transport personnel must still exercise caution while traveling on public roads.

Several factors may contribute to ambulance accidents, including speeding, driver fatigue, inexperience, and failure to activate emergency lights and sirens. Ambulances are involved in about 6,500 accidents each year, with 34 percent resulting in injuries or fatalities.

Regardless of the findings of a police investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, stressed the importance of having an attorney conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances of a crash, preserve evidence, and protect the rights of a victim’s family.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Serving as an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide a family that has lost a loved one during this difficult time while also protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
