Lakesha Marbury killed in Franklin County after vehicle hits pole Ohio

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Each year, millions of people suffer injuries in motor vehicle accidents across the U.S., many of them severe. In 2023 alone, approximately 2.44 million individuals were injured in crashes nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

As officials continue to determine the cause of this crash, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation.

“Alongside the efforts of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview key witnesses, review any available surveillance footage, and obtain phone and texting records of the potentially liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is critical in cases like these, and it is essential that the victim’s family ensures all evidence is examined promptly and thoroughly,” Bond added.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the victim’s family may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that the emotional and financial strain following a serious crash can be overwhelming and affect every area of life.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as legal representation allows for effective negotiation with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies frequently attempt to push victims into accepting quick settlements that are far below what a case may truly be worth. An attorney, however, will strongly advocate for their client to help ensure fair treatment and proper compensation,” he added.
