Jose Gonzalez-Colindres Hurt in Nesconset DWI Work Zone Crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Safety Council, 898 people were killed and 40,170 were injured in work zone crashes nationwide in 2023. Slowing down and moving over in construction zones helps protect both workers and motorists.

“Drivers who operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can face criminal charges when that impairment leads to an accident that injures or kills someone,” explained Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim’s family may be entitled to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” added Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, speaking to Accident Injury News.

According to the National Safety Council, impaired driving is a factor in roughly 10 percent of all fatal automobile crashes, making it the second-leading cause of traffic deaths in the country.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Jose Gonzalez-Colindres may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending the outcome of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Victims injured in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to cover medical bills, future medical care, lost income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often notoriously indifferent to the mounting costs an injured party may face. That’s where an attorney steps in. We work every day to protect the victims of these tragedies, holding insurance companies accountable for their mistakes,” he added.
