Motorcyclist seriously hurt in Odessa hit run, Richard Ramirez charged

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, yet research shows that roughly 11 percent of all traffic collisions involve hit-and-run drivers.

In many of these cases, offenders attempt to escape responsibility by fleeing. However, once identified, they are typically arrested and prosecuted under the law.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized the importance of conducting an immediate independent investigation to protect the rights of injured victims.

“Proper investigative resources are essential in hit-and-run cases to establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road design, signage visibility, and lighting conditions must all be carefully evaluated. These steps are crucial to ensuring that injured victims receive fair justice and appropriate financial recovery.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that injuries from such incidents often create significant emotional, financial, and personal hardship.

“It is essential for victims to retain legal counsel when pursuing a personal injury claim so they can properly negotiate with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies may attempt to pressure victims into quick settlements that do not reflect the true value of the case. An attorney works to ensure victims are fairly represented and properly compensated.”
