LA Hit-and-Run Kills Motorcyclist Kenli Black Near Alameda Street

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

A motorist involved in a hit-and-run crash is required to remain at the scene and notify law enforcement officials. Failure to do so can result in criminal charges and other legal consequences. According to NHTSA, 2,872 people died in hit-and-run crashes in 2023, down from 2,972 the year before. Officials say the decline, though small, is significant and suggests the total number of hit-and-run crashes likely fell to around 2,800.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney and a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”

Added Bond, the national analyst for Accident Injury News, “drivers must use great care behind the wheel, as even a momentary lapse in attention can lead to deadly consequences.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

As the investigation continues, the family of Kenli Black may be entitled to 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 catastrophic accident such as this incident.

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

“We understand just what families are forced to 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.”
