Joshua Dotson injured in Boone pedestrian accident, police say

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, but statistics indicate that approximately 11 percent of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver.

By law, motorists involved in an accident are required to remain at the scene until authorities arrive. However, statistics indicate that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roads. Some suspects flee because they are intoxicated, driving without a license, or concerned about being arrested if they remain at the scene.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in such cases, it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted promptly by a seasoned attorney to protect a victim’s rights.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be fully considered. These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has been injured by a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending an investigation, Joshua Dotson may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress caused by an injury can be overwhelming and may disrupt all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company for a client,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
