Morgan Parr faces charges in Ellsinore hit-and-run crash

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of an accident is illegal, yet statistics show that about 11 percent of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver.

By law, any driver involved in a crash must remain at the scene until authorities arrive. However, data indicates that more than one hit-and-run accident occurs every minute on U.S. roadways. Many drivers flee because they may be intoxicated, unlicensed, or fearful of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run and pedestrian accident attorney, emphasized that in these cases, it is essential to conduct an independent investigation promptly to safeguard the rights of injured victims.

“Having the proper resources is critical when 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 be carefully evaluated. These steps are necessary to help injured victims pursue justice and financial compensation.”

“Time is a crucial factor in cases like this, and victims must ensure that evidence is reviewed without delay.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the victims may have the right to pursue personal injury claims. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the impact of an injury can be overwhelming, affecting family life, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as legal counsel can negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their true value. An attorney will advocate strongly for victims to ensure fair compensation and proper treatment.”
