Motorcycle Crash Injures Ashley Lundeen on U.S. 61 South in Lee

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

This accident highlights the serious dangers motorcyclists face on roadways every day. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 83,000 motorcyclists were injured in crashes during 2021, marking an increase of approximately 5 percent from the year prior.

Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, said that in situations like this, it’s essential to preserve evidence through a thorough, independent investigation.

“Beyond the official police report, an attorney will closely examine the factors that may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “Your lawyer has access to resources such as expert witnesses, driver background checks, witness location services, and a full review of applicable insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide a victim’s family through this challenging time, protecting their legal rights while working to hold a driver accountable for violating traffic laws.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Depending on the results of the investigation, an injured victim may have grounds to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress stemming from a serious injury can be overwhelming, often disrupting every aspect of a person’s life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It’s critical for victims to hire an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as it allows them to negotiate directly with an insurance company on their behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies frequently try to pressure victims into accepting a quick settlement for far less than their case is truly worth. An attorney, however, will fight diligently for their clients to ensure they’re treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
