FATAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

There were 1.5 times as many pedestrians killed in 2022 as in the previous five-year average in Oregon, with 126 deaths compared with 80 deaths, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (DOT).

According to Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, many pedestrian crashes result from driver negligence, including speeding, distracted driving, driver error, and driving under the influence. Bond stressed that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect the rights of a victim’s family.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”
