Melvin Gordon killed after SUV hits motorcycle in Birmingham

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run incidents, drivers attempt to evade responsibility by leaving the scene, but they can face serious charges once apprehended.

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and statistics show that more than one such incident occurs every minute across the country.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, stressed that an independent investigation is essential to protect victims’ rights.

“Having adequate resources is critical to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Roadway conditions, lighting, and visibility are among the factors that are carefully evaluated during the investigation,” Bond added.

These efforts are vital in helping families seek justice and financial recovery after losing a loved one in a hit-and-run crash.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Melvin Gordon could pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other hardships.

“The pain and grief following the loss of a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the difficulties families face, and ensuring their rights are protected is critical. A wrongful death attorney can follow the investigation closely and help safeguard the family’s legal interests,” Formica added.
