DUI CRASH INVESTIGATION

Every 89 seconds, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

More than 300,000 people are injured each year in crashes caused by the negligence of impaired drivers. When a driver is under the influence, they may experience impaired judgment, reduced vision, poor coordination, and delayed reaction time.

Candice Bond, an experienced DWI accident attorney, was interviewed and shared her thoughts on incidents such as these.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and text records of the liable party. As an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide an injured victim during this difficult time, protect their legal rights, and help ensure that a driver who takes the wheel under the influence is held accountable for their actions.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The victims injured in this accident may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and concern following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting many areas of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“Although no amount of money can make up for a devastating injury, it is important that a victim is made aware of their rights and what they are entitled to by law,” Formica added. “The injured victim in this collision may be entitled to an injury claim, and they may seek recovery for damages including medical expenses, future medical care, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.”
