North Little Rock Man Jeffery Evans Died in Hwy 161 Pedestrian Crash

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This tragic accident highlights the ongoing dangers pedestrians encounter on roadways across the country.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that 7,522 pedestrians lost their lives in traffic collisions in 2022 — the highest total since 1981. That year, pedestrian deaths made up roughly 17% of all traffic fatalities nationwide, reflecting a concerning rise in pedestrian danger on U.S. roads.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced pedestrian attorney.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

As the investigation continues, the family of Jeffery Evans may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may be entitled to pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress in the aftermath of a devastating accident like this one.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardships that families face, and it’s crucial to protect their rights. A wrongful death lawyer will keep abreast of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are safeguarded.”
