Kissee Mills woman injured in Taney wrong-way crash on US 65

CRASH INVESTIGATION

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies speeding as the leading cause of traffic accidents, followed by impairment from alcohol or drugs, failure to maintain lane discipline, failure to yield, and distracted driving.

In 2023, approximately 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes nationwide, according to NHTSA data.

“It is essential to determine the precise cause of crashes like this,” said Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal. “An attorney can evaluate insurance coverage, engage expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses. We guide victims and their families through every step of the process.”

Bond added that independent investigations should begin promptly to preserve critical evidence.

“Beyond the initial police report, a thorough review is necessary to understand contributing factors,” she said. “Legal professionals have the tools to analyze the case fully, from examining driver histories to consulting experts and reviewing insurance policies. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help victims navigate a complex legal process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the injured victim may be entitled to file a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that the aftermath of a serious accident can place immense strain on victims, affecting their family life, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is crucial for victims to seek legal representation when pursuing a personal injury claim, as attorneys can negotiate directly with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica stated.

“Insurance providers often overlook the full extent of costs an injured person may face. Legal counsel plays a key role in ensuring victims are fairly compensated. We stand up for victims every day, holding insurers accountable,” he added.
