Pedestrian Ivan Pearson Killed in Columbia Hit-and-Run

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense, yet statistics show that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roadways.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is essential to have a prompt, independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney to protect the rights of the victim.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and examined,” Bond added.

These steps are essential to help someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver obtain the justice and monetary compensation they deserve.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the victim’s family could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this one.

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

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
