HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 2018 to 2022, more than 4 million people were involved in hit-and-run crashes nationwide, with over 12,000 fatalities recorded in those incidents.

These collisions often involve drivers who are impaired, unlicensed, or distracted. Leaving the scene not only violates the law but also delays potentially life-saving medical assistance to victims.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, emphasized that independent investigations are critical in such cases to protect victims’ rights.

“Having the proper resources is crucial to investigating a hit-and-run accident case and proving negligence,” said Bond. “Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are potential contributing factors that must be examined thoroughly. These steps are essential to helping victims and families secure the justice and compensation they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The 18-year-old man injured in this collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that serious injuries can have lasting effects on every aspect of life — from physical recovery and emotional trauma to financial hardship.

“Although no amount of money can undo a devastating injury, it’s vital that victims understand their rights and legal options,” Formica said. “An injured person may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, future care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.”
