Mitchell John Collins Charged in Skaneateles Hit-and-Run Collision

HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, but statistics show that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roads.

Many suspects flee because they may be intoxicated, driving without a license, or worried about arrest if they remain at the scene. Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is critical to conduct an independent investigation quickly to safeguard a victim’s rights.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Factors such as roadway conditions, signage visibility, and lighting must be carefully evaluated. These steps are necessary to help an injured victim seek justice and pursue financial compensation after a hit-and-run crash.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The victim injured in this accident may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming and may affect every aspect of life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“While no amount of money can undo a catastrophic injury, it is essential that victims understand their legal rights and available options,” Formica said. “The injured victim in this collision may be entitled to an injury claim and could seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, future medical care, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.”
