Roughly 100 pedestrians lose their lives each year in the state. Pedestrians remain particularly vulnerable, making it essential for drivers to remain alert at all times. Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, noted that many such crashes are the result of driver negligence.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”
