Patrick Rudolph charged in Gwinnett crash leaving rider hurt

HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense, and statistics indicate that nearly 11 percent of crashes involve hit-and-run drivers. In many instances, at-fault motorists attempt to evade responsibility by fleeing, but they are often identified and charged.

Attorney Candice Bond stressed the importance of a timely and thorough independent investigation to safeguard victims’ rights. “Access to the right resources is critical in examining a hit-and-run accident and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully reviewed. These steps are essential in helping injured victims obtain justice and appropriate financial compensation.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending an investigation, the victim may have grounds to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming, affecting multiple aspects of life including family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, as legal counsel can negotiate effectively with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance providers frequently attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements that are far below the true value of their claims. An attorney, however, will advocate strongly to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation.”
