Miami-Dade crash: Dwayne White charged after hit-and-run

HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, and data shows that about 11 percent of all accidents involve hit-and-run drivers. In many instances, at-fault motorists believe they can escape accountability, but they often face charges once identified.

Attorney Candice Bond stressed the importance of a timely and independent investigation to safeguard victims’ rights. “Having the proper resources is critical in investigating a hit-and-run case and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must all be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential in helping victims secure justice and financial compensation after being injured in a hit-and-run crash.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

A victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to cover medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often indifferent to the growing financial burden faced by victims. An attorney can help by advocating on their behalf. We work to protect victims and hold insurers accountable so they provide fair compensation,” he added.
