Kayli Dobyns Hurt After Chrysler Hits Pickup in Wise County

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle accidents across the country in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The NHTSA reports that speeding is the leading cause of traffic crashes, followed by alcohol, drugs or medication, failure to remain in the proper lane, failure to yield the right of way and distracted driving.

“It is imperative to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

She noted that in cases such as this, conducting an independent investigation sooner rather than later is important to help preserve evidence.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully examine what may have contributed to the crash,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Kayli Dobyns may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming and may affect 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 can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
