Leo Schneider killed in Lubbock FM 1585 crash, driver arrested

DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This crash was preventable. Impaired drivers pose a significant danger to everyone on the road and can cause devastating consequences.

“Drunken and drug-impaired drivers may face criminal charges following a crash that results in injury or death,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

She further explained, “In addition to criminal proceedings, a victim’s family may have the right to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party.”

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 10 percent of all fatal vehicle crashes involve drivers under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These incidents remain one of the leading causes of traffic-related deaths in the United States.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Leo Schneider could be eligible 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 tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

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

“We understand what families are forced to endure, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected,” Formica added.
