Matthew Hajar fatally struck in Fort Worth hit-and-run incident

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Each year, pedestrian fatalities continue to rise across the United States, with many incidents considered preventable through attentive driving.

According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, approximately 3,304 pedestrians were killed on U.S. roads during the first half of 2024 alone.

“Thorough resources are critical when investigating pedestrian accidents and establishing negligence,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a seasoned pedestrian accident attorney.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and street lighting can all contribute to a crash and must be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential in helping families seek justice after losing a loved one,” Bond explained.

“In some cases, accident reconstruction specialists are required to determine exactly what occurred. These resources play a key role in helping victims’ families pursue compensation for losses resulting from a collision,” added Bond, a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is generally the responsibility of drivers to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Matthew Hajar may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

“Families who lose a loved one may pursue compensation for loss of income, companionship, emotional distress, and funeral-related expenses following a devastating accident,” Formica said.

An attorney can serve as a vital advocate, helping families navigate the legal process during such a difficult time while ensuring their rights are protected.

“Insurance companies may attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their true value,” Formica added. “An experienced attorney will work diligently to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation for the family.”
