Martin Villagomez Jr. Dies After Red-Light Crash in TN

TWO-VEHICLE CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The crash investigation remains ongoing.

Each year, roughly 36,000 people die — and another 1.9 million are injured — in motor vehicle crashes across the country.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the leading cause of fatal crashes in 2018, followed by driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.

While the cause and liability of the crash remain under investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, said it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect a victim’s rights.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

“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, who is a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Martin Villagomez Jr. may be entitled 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 one.

“We understand that losing a loved one is not only a deeply emotional loss but also an economic one,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. “If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney and get the guidance needed to obtain the justice you deserve.”

“Grieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights. An attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during this difficult time and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
