Nesconset Work Zone DWI Crash Injures Kevin Chavez-Sarmiento

DWI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Alcohol and drug use can significantly impair a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle, often leading to poor judgment, impaired vision, reduced coordination, and delayed reaction time.

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, approximately 300,000 people are injured in the U.S. each year due to the negligence of drunk drivers. Impaired drivers frequently experience diminished judgment, blurred vision, poor coordination, and slower reaction times behind the wheel.

“Drivers who operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can face criminal charges when that impairment leads to an accident that injures or kills someone,” explained Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim’s family may be entitled to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, speaking to Accident Injury News. “Time is critical in cases like this, and it’s essential that evidence is reviewed efficiently on the victim’s behalf.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Kevin Chavez-Sarmiento may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending the outcome of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Victims injured in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to cover medical bills, future medical care, lost income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often notoriously indifferent to the mounting costs an injured party may face. That’s where an attorney steps in. We work every day to protect the victims of these tragedies, holding insurance companies accountable for their mistakes,” he added.
