Langdon Udry Killed in Colerain Township Bicycle-Vehicle Collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Safety data indicate that larger vehicles, including SUVs and pickup trucks, can pose significant dangers to cyclists on U.S. roads. Drivers can help reduce risks by maintaining sufficient space and remaining alert around vulnerable road users. In 2023, 1,155 bicyclists were killed in crashes involving motor vehicles. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, bicyclist deaths in 2023 were highest during September, October, and July at 11% each, followed by August at 10%.

“Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, and many factors can contribute to serious crashes,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal and an experienced bicycle accident attorney.

“It is imperative to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process.”

Bond noted that in cases such as this, it is important to have an independent investigation conducted sooner rather than later to preserve any available evidence.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the results of any investigations, the family members of Langdon Udry may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors 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.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Grieving families of victims can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the legal processes designed to protect their rights.”

“An attorney can serve as a valuable and compassionate resource, helping guide a family through this difficult time and ensuring that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
