Loves Park motorcycle crash claims life of Marco Torres

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), 6,335 motorcyclists died in crashes in 2023.

That is the highest number ever recorded and a 26% increase since 2019. Motorcycle fatalities accounted for 15% of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2023 and were approximately three times higher than the number recorded in 1997. Many of these collisions result from the negligence of passenger vehicle drivers.

Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, explained that in cases like this, it is crucial for a seasoned attorney to conduct an independent investigation to help protect the legal rights of a victim’s family.

“Motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable motorists on the road, and several factors can play a role in fatal crashes,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Blind spots, inexperienced drivers, and distracted motorists often contribute to these types of collisions. An attorney has the resources to retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, review applicable insurance coverage, and carefully guide a grieving family through the legal process while protecting their best interests.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Marco Torres may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand the tremendous challenges families face after such a devastating loss, and protecting their legal rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are protected. Relatives of wrongful death victims may be entitled to recover damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
