Juan Viveros Hurt in Wasco Wrong-Way I-84 Crash, OSP Says

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

As more vehicles enter the nation’s roadways, crash risks continue to rise. Experts say most of these collisions stem from unsafe driving behaviors such as speeding, impairment, or inattention. An estimated 2.44 million people were injured in roadway crashes in 2023, a 2.5% increase from 2.38 million in 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

While the cause and liability of the crash remain under investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner at Bond Legal, said that it’s imperative to have a seasoned attorney conduct an independent investigation.

“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, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide an injured victim during this difficult time while vigorously protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the investigation results, Juan Viveros may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming, disrupting 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 on behalf of a client,” Formica added.

“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 client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
