Pedestrian Onesimo Flores dies after being hit in Los Angeles CA

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

New research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety shows that over 919,000 police-reported crashes in 2023 involved a driver who fled the scene, resulting in 242,000 injuries and 2,872 fatalities. Hit-and-run incidents accounted for 15% of all crashes that year, the highest percentage recorded in recent history.

“Having the proper resources is critical to thoroughly investigate a pedestrian accident and establish negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Factors such as road conditions, signage visibility, and lighting must all be carefully evaluated. These steps are essential in helping families of victims obtain justice,” Bond added, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Drivers must always exercise caution behind the wheel.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Onesimo Maldonado Flores may be entitled to 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 catastrophic accident.

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

“We understand the hardships families endure, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are fully protected.”
