DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This accident was clearly preventable. Impaired drivers pose a serious danger to everyone on the roadway and can cause devastating consequences.

“Drunken and drugged drivers are subject to criminal charges following an accident or collision that causes harm or kills another person,” explained Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Beyond criminal penalties, victims or their families may also be eligible to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party,” added Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney.

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 10 percent of all fatal automobile accidents involve drivers under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These crashes are the second-leading cause of traffic fatalities in the United States.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

An injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in collisions often pursue personal injury claims to recover medical expenses, future care costs, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often indifferent to the financial strain placed on victims. An attorney can help advocate for those affected and ensure they receive fair compensation,” he added.
