DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

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

“Drunken and drugged drivers are subject to criminal charges following an accident or collision that causes harm or death,” explained Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim or their family may also be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” added Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney.

According to the National Safety Council, about 10 percent of all fatal automobile accidents involve drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These incidents remain the second-leading cause of automobile fatalities in the United States.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

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

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in collisions often file personal injury claims to recover costs related to medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often indifferent to the growing financial burden faced by victims. An attorney can provide crucial assistance, advocating on behalf of the injured party and working to ensure they receive fair compensation for their losses,” he added.
