Michael Hicks Dies, Struck While Crossing Roadway in Racine

CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It is imperative to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the ability to review insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the legal process,” said Candice Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal.

She emphasized that in cases like this, an independent investigation is essential to preserve key evidence.

“In addition to the official police report, an attorney will thoroughly evaluate all factors that may have contributed to the crash,” Bond said. “A lawyer can bring in expert witnesses, investigate driver history, identify witnesses, and examine insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can support families through what can be a complex legal process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Michael Hicks may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for emotional distress, loss of companionship, and other damages resulting from a fatal accident.

“The grief and emotional burden after losing a loved one in a tragic accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the pain families experience, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will closely monitor the investigation and help ensure that the family’s legal interests are fully protected,” Formica added.
