Maria Gump Dies on Ridge Road Rollover Accident in Lockport

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), rollover crashes make up about 30 percent of passenger vehicle occupant fatalities each year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 36,640 people died in traffic crashes nationwide in 2025, including an estimated 1,011 fatalities in New York state.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all potential contributing factors that must be carefully evaluated,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“In some cases, an accident reconstruction team is necessary to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are essential in helping clients pursue compensation for damages or losses following a crash,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.

“Time is critical in cases like this, and it is important that evidence is examined promptly.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, the family of Maria Gump may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims in such cases can seek compensation for loss of companionship, emotional distress, and pain and suffering following a tragic accident.

“The emotional toll after losing a loved one in a crash can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their legal rights is crucial. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are represented.”
