Jose Antonio Castillo Dies in Ward County Crash, DPS Says

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that vehicles frequently cross the center line due to distracted driving, fatigue, driver error, speeding, and impairment.

Lane departures account for a significant share of serious injury and fatal crashes. Over one recent three-year period, roadway departures resulted in 19,158 fatalities across the U.S.

Candice Bond, a well-respected accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, conducting an independent investigation as soon as possible is critical to preserving evidence for a grieving family.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family who has lost a loved one during this difficult time, while protecting their legal rights.”
