Pedestrian Ambrose Hicks killed in Oakland hit-and-run accident

FATAL HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INVESTIGATION

It can often be difficult to track down a hit-and-run driver who leaves the scene after causing a crash.

Along with law enforcement efforts, an experienced attorney can play a key role by working with investigators to locate witnesses, review surveillance footage, and collect critical evidence. Approximately 11 percent of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that in cases like this, conducting an independent investigation is essential to protect a victim’s rights.

“Having the proper resources is crucial to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be carefully reviewed. These steps are vital to help families seek justice and financial compensation after losing a loved one in a hit-and-run crash.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Ambrose Hicks may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims can seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“We understand the immense challenges families face after such a loss, and protecting their rights is critical,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“A wrongful death attorney can stay informed on the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are represented. Relatives of wrongful death victims have the right to seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress after a devastating accident,” Formica added.
