Motorcycle crash injures Richard Schoonover on U.S. 50 Ohio

CRASH INVESTIGATION

This incident highlights the ongoing risks faced by motorcyclists on roadways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 83,000 motorcyclists were injured in crashes in 2021, representing an increase of about 5 percent from the prior year.

Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal and experienced motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized the need for preserving evidence through an independent investigation.

“Beyond the initial police report, an attorney will closely examine all contributing factors to the crash,” Bond said. “Legal teams have the ability to consult expert witnesses, review driver histories, identify witnesses, and assess insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can guide families through the process while ensuring accountability for those who violate traffic laws.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Following the investigation, Richard Schoonover may have the option to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained that injuries from such crashes can deeply affect a victim’s life, including their work, finances, and personal well-being.

“It is important for victims to seek legal representation when filing a personal injury claim, as attorneys can handle negotiations with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica said.

He added, “Insurance companies frequently attempt to settle claims quickly for less than they are worth. An attorney will advocate to ensure victims are treated fairly and receive the compensation they deserve.”
