Marco Jimenez killed, another injured in Socorro head-on accident

HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION

The most common cause of head-on accidents is driver error. However, they can also be caused by drunken driving, speeding, distracted driving, poor road design, inexperienced drivers, and confusion on the part of the driver.

According to AAA, from 2015 to 2018, there were more than 2,000 deaths from head on collisions while driving on divided highways.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must thoroughly be examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

An injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the results of the investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. That’s where an attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
