Kendra Dillard Dies in St. Petersburg Crosswalk Hit-and-Run

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Fleeing the scene of a crash is a crime, yet statistics show that more than one hit-and-run collision occurs every minute on U.S. roads.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, a prompt, independent investigation by a seasoned attorney is essential to protecting 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, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Bond, a national analyst with Accident Injury News.

These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation they deserve.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

As the investigation continues, the victim’s family could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
