Moad Farid Mohd Obaidat Killed in Maspeth Bus Overturn

FATAL BUS CRASH INVESTIGATION

Bus accidents like this one can result from a range of factors, including driver distraction, driver fatigue, mechanical failure, and driver error.

A lack of experience and proper training can also play a role, as operating a large bus differs significantly from driving a car or SUV. Roughly 60,000 bus crashes occur across the U.S. each year, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent victims.

Alongside the ongoing work of police, Candice Bond, an experienced commercial bus accident attorney, said that in cases like this, conducting an independent investigation is essential to preserving evidence and protecting the rights of a victim’s family.

“Bus crashes can be complex, and companies often utilize large law firms to defend a negligent driver,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst at Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors and must be thoroughly examined. An attorney can advocate for a family that lost a loved one by hiring expert witnesses, conducting drivers’ background checks, and locating witnesses to the crash, while carefully guiding a victim through the legal process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family of Moad Farid Mohd Obaidat may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.
“We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their best interests are taken care of. Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to seek damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
In addition, those injured in this crash may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.
